Real shame because he's started well for us

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 1:04 pm  

Is the club rushing back people with injuries too soon?
We had Delaney, now Eastwood & Webb still looks under par to me as if still carrying some sort of injury.
Could this be a down side to a large squad where players are declaring themselves fit for fear of losing their place in the starting 17?
Or the club forcing the big names back too soon especially for the WCC?

Glad we have a big squad this season, otherwise we may have had to moan on about it like Hull fans

It will be interesting to see if they hand out the number 27 jersey to someone over his injury period or whether they will just be one short on the 25 first team squad?

I would like to Amor given a game or two .
We also have Pitts who should be given a chance now that Eastwood is out.

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 1:56 pm  

Plenty of depth in the pack.

Young Pitts can keep his place this week.

I too would like to see Amor get a run, of only for his comedy hairdoo.

we'll be fine.

we have a big squad this season. we have enough experience and enough deoth within the team to cope with this.

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 2:05 pm  

That's a big blow for you lot. Really unlucky, I really like the look of Eastwood as a player in the WCC especially. Hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later.

Will Amor and Pitts be getting a shot in the first team now?

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 2:52 pm  

Real Shame losing Eastwood but my optimistic view is better to lose the players early in the season and have them back when it matters.
The one and only trophy worth winning is in October.

Is it my imagination, or are our overseas signings proving a lot more prone to long term injuries than our homegrown talent?

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:12 pm  

Hopefully he’ll be back for the big games because lets be honest Leeds is full of big game players who only play big now and again. Its been a frustrating few seasons watching Leeds string up half arsed performances throughout the season.

However its well worth it when it comes to games that excite us the most!
