JJB's presser, if that dosnt depress you as a Leeds fan, then nothing will.
Without knowing he was refering to a professional sports team, you would think he was talking about an u8's team, some of the 'fixes' mentioned should be the absolute bare minimum for any professional sports person
If what he's saying is right, its an absolute disgrace, our squad of players, coaches and management should be ashamed at the culture they've manifested. The coach of Leeds Rhinos happy that the players finally look bothered they're being embarrassed, happy they're finally trying, happy they're talking and asking questions of each other, happy he THINKS they're going to buy in to the fortnights hard work he's got planned, f**k sake...How have things got so bad that these, what should be, absolute unconditional basics, even in a kids team, be seen as progress in one of the biggest clubs in the country, absolutely pathetic.
When we signed donkeys like Donaldson and Thompson we were fed the lines on how they set standards around training,that they're great role models around the place etc etc, clearly total rubbish, our standards are mickey poor and embarrassing, again, if JJBS presser is correct.
He then finishes with telling us that he's always rated Liam Suttcliffe as a half, my god, please just go coach Stanningley and drop Long off as far away as possible on your way.
Anybody involved in this mess needs to be as far away from headingley as possible, players included.
Sorry for the long rant.

His press conferences really disturb me. He's all over the place. I don't see how he can motivate these players. He alluded to Sezer bring "angry and upset" at the prospect of playing injured and also said something similar about Fusitu'a earlier in the week. Next minute he's handing out medals and giving a speech about players playing through injury. The inference is: Sezer and Fusitu'a are big softies. I also found his references to the game being "war" pretty crass in light of what is currently going on in Ukraine. I'm sure non of this is deliberate, but to me it's symptomatic of a man who his in way over his head in any kind of leadership role.
