Before the refusal of Eastwood's Visa there weren't any posts from the "experts" saying our squad wasn't good enough.

We lose a few games and suddenly its' down to squad size.

Eastwood or anybody in the right centre would've made no difference in the defeats we have suffered this year.

I've been critical of the Leeds performances on here since the Warrington away game (was Eastwood's visa turned down back then?) and I've seen nothing much since to convince me it's time to lighten up.

Maybe I'm just naturally a pessimist and maybe supporting Leeds for over forty years there's a reason for that.

Although if you wanted to be pedantic, that would be "the" ruck, as opposed to "a" ruck.
