We have to take a hit on the pitch for a couple of seasons while the stand get's sorted out.

Then again, do we have to ?



The fantastic thing about Graham Murray is that he builds fantastic team spirit and is able to get that 'little bit extra' from players.



Look at the players he developed in that awsome pack of the late 90s .... Anthony Farrell - A player who's career was on the slide when he arrived at Leeds. Darren Fleary - Another player who hadn't broken pots before Headingley and Andy Hay, who we all remember got a GB call up with GM around.



We're still a decent top four side, even with the Dad's Army pack, we just need someone to marshall it properly ... The sort of 'nasty b*stard' we had under Murray and the sort of thing I personally thought would be the thing BMD would sort out first.



We don't have to spend massive amounts in the playing dept. to get back to something like ... We used to try splashing the cash around in the 80s and it got us nowhere. Invest sensibly in a coach with an excellent past record in Murray and start building back up again from there.

Yes the old recurring conspiracy theory

Been to Featherstone today having a chat to some friends who are mad keen supporters they say GH as been seen quiet a lot at the ground of late. Could be watching a couple of players as they have quiet a few up and coming ones or just coincidence but they seem to think its D Powell he's after, any thoughts I always thought he was ok and he's certainly grown up here got a good squad together.

He'd be an improvement on Jedward!

Agreed

Agreed. I'm sure GH has got some players signed up for next year but he keeps his cards close to his chest. Remember Danny Buderus had been signed months before it was announced. If we get Griffin, Heighington and a quality, experienced centre that will be a start for 2012. However I don't know where he's going to get such a centre whose not under contract.

according to the LE heighington is staying in aus, but we've beaten warrington to griffin's signiture

If we don't get Heighington does that mean that Ali has to have a new contract extension! The Rhinos need to sign 3/4 new quality playeers.

Now that all this years current squad have either been resigned or let go, the exceptions are Bailey and Lautiti. Are these negotiations been held up until we know if we've been successful signing Heightinton and Griffin ?

We needed to get past it underperforming players out more. Starting with the likes of Ali.



Senior gone great, but so should Kirke and Kylie also. I would rather have gone with kids than these players should there not be the quality replacements available.
