Who is to say he hasn't? Are you saying that this team are not capable of retaining the championship?

No I don't believe I would make such a ridiculous comment when I still fully expect Leeds to finish 1 or 2 this season. What I do say is that Leeds haven't successfully defended their WCC title and have also lost the 'virtual' Challenge Cup final with home advantage in their two target games so far this season.

Do you think we would of done with a fully fit squad???
I.e Webb who is 1 of our top drawer player's and buderus who would of added another dimension attacking wise.
Losing burrow was a massive blow aswell.

Again it's a case of finding the right player's on the right deals isn't it???

And again why are you concerning yourself with something that is the CEO's responsibility. He either does the job or he doesn't. Last season he didn't and that is why Leeds are understrength and undercap and under quota.

This squad isn't as strong as last seasons or do you have an issue with that statement as well?

It's all hypothetical.

Neither team were at full strength but the fact that Leeds lost such a game that is so obviously skewed in the UK's team favour is a missed opportunity for bragging rights over the St Helens, Wigans and Bradfords of this league.

None of those could lay claim to ever being back to back WCC and now sadly neither can Leeds.

I'm just pointing out that GH will sign the right player's on the right deals and if he doesn't sign player's IMHO it doesn't mean he's failed.

Why??
Isn't it as straight forward as that??
We have different opinion's is that a bad thing???
It's ok to say let's sign this player or that player but it's not that simple is it??

Is the squad stronger or weaker this season?

If it's stronger with Buderus and McShane added but without Toopi, Ellis, Scruton and Tansey then we'll have to agree to disagree over whether Hetherington failed or not.

Have you painted a "Sack the board" banner for Easter Monday?
