Thats a decent approach. I would hope that the powers that be identify the future need and fill it. The question is where do we get someone. Leeds have built their sucess around Keith in many ways, and I'm not sure you would get a top NRL star here for even half the time that Keith has been here.

that is sooo right as well... we know GH too well.

To be fair to him, he has delivered some big names over time, some have worked out, others have not.



You can't argue with Webb, Peacock, Buderus, Ellis, Lauiti'iti as big name signings.

He has also delivered (or helped to deliver) a sustainable business model and financial stability off the field and one of the most successful periods in the club's history on the field.



Hetherington Out!

Oh yes agreed.. i'm not doubting his excellent leadership. We owe him a great deal of thanks. It just made me laugh because that's what he usually says.

This truly is.. The school of old.

And how long will you be able to continue in your current job compared to the longevity, or lack of it, of a profesional rugby player,of either code.

Making money while you can is sometimes everything

You were robbed.

And they're both positives but in terms of squad building I doubt Leeds' plans are any different to Wigan's. The difference maybe that when Wigan identify a problem position they tend to fill it even if that costs money.

Hetherington's job is (or should be) to maximise the clubs potential and that includes on the field. Ultimately he will be judged on results not whether the club made a huge profit.

Wigan don't have enough money to fill all their problem positions.

Which positions are their problem ones?
