to many lately have been cheap, and sadly, low quality. we are where we are for a reason
If Leeds are committed to this squad then I can't see how they have the cap space to sign the quality of player they need.
I get Printer's point about the pre-season/injuries but by now this team should be red hot and it is decidedly tepid.
Segayro looks OK but only because we haven't had a proper hooker for so long. He looks a little one dimensional to me - it could be he needs more time. He doesn't look in the Roby/Clark quality and the number of forward passes he throws is a worry but that could just his team mates getting used to him.
The biggest thing for me would be a new coach - it will not happen for next year - the brand of rugby under McDermott in the main has always been turgid and has relied on off the cuff stuff that is not of his making. I struggle to see what he is bringing to the party. I get he is the most successful coach ever in the world but that is question of circumstance IMO
