In 1926 when Keighley won the cup yeah i read it in a book yeah that they had this scrum half called John the Baptist yeah n what he did what he did yeah was show fortitude, appitude, malieptitude and hisplanitude yeah and what he did yeah was he got his whole team to put their hands in a fire in a raging furness that kind of gave them this fortitude yeah and thats what we need yeah. And im from Bramley yeah and thats what im gonna do.

Just listened to JJB again. I can’t stop smiling when he speaks. Think that’s a good thing. He uses a lot of complex words, that don’t think he actually knows the meaning of, but has probably heard them in the church surmons we know he loves. Amongst all the gobbledygook he does actually give some really honest and clear insights into what’s going on behind the scenes, and it’s really refreshing to hear. The last coach who was so blunt and honest was Brian Mac. Now I know JJB won’t be head coach, but I definitely want to see him at our club for a long time as he’s a legend and inspiration…..

It's all opinions isn't it, but I profoundly disagree with you on this one. JJB is one of the coaches directly responsible for the current state of affairs. It's not like he walked through the doors last week. He has no business being anywhere near a leadership position in a sporting organisation that should aspire to be world class. If he wants to be a coach he needs to start far lower down the ladder and earn it (as he undoubtedly did as a player). Agar did the the honorable thing in stepping down and if JJB wants to trigger the kind of cultural change that he is forever wittering on about he should also step down at the end of his hopefully brief caretaker stint. Sorry for ranting.

That result means this is our worst start to a season since 1899.

As for JJB, I understand he was the only viable choice right now, but he needs to be gone as soon as possible. As you say Arthur, he's been around this complete collapse of the club both as a player and then a coach. We need root and branch change. No more acceptance of mediocrity from top to bottom.

That sounds like a JJB line

But thats a clear sign of fortitude, apptitude and ineptitude surely? Its shows the players are keen to put their heads above the parapit while going down the proverbial foxhole to show fortitude that burns in a raging furness like Jesus Christ called for on the streets of Belle Vue when Wakey little Wakey won the Yorkshire Cup in the face of such adversity in 1898. And thats what everyone in Bramley, the big apple of Leeds, says Leeds needs right now.

JJB is bringing out the inner preacher in us all.
‘And then JJB said to his disciples , ‘Wuk ard lads’ and they thanked him for it and were merry…..’

Re: SL RD 7 | St Helens (H) : Sat Apr 02, 2022 11:29 am  

The situation is Shi#e. We have no guarantee of a win in the next 5 games, the next 5 games the opposition will also note that playing Leeds is a game they can win. Last night we had little or no idea, we were way off the pace, 5 try’s to none and they bombed another 3/4 try’s. Clueless.
Am I correct in saying that Furner, ( like him or not) said we need to get rid of the shi#e so they got rid of him. No one could make up this crap. The rebuilding of the team continues for the seventh year, and we are no further forward, in fact we are going backwards at an alarming rate.

Re: SL RD 7 | St Helens (H) : Sat Apr 02, 2022 12:09 pm  

We do have some good players. Sadly some of our best are injured, and its just highlighted how awful some of the others are. The new coach needs to identify those just not up to it, and also those who are just toxic, and look to move them on as soon as possible. Sadly we can't buy our way out of this mess, so we'll have to milk the garbage along for some time. But cards need to be marked and no more second chances, or re-signing "good lads" or players who have just been around a long time.
