Oh that's right! I forgot the Rhinos have played really dower rugby for over a decade winning those trophies.

I love the defensive side of the game. Watching Cas play tig n pass ever week is not my idea of a good time and why your season was over in August.

Leeds defence before the split (for the most part) was embarrassing. It was still better than Cas.

Powell has come up with a philosophy that wins games despite being the underdogs. Shaun Wane has done likewise. I know which team I would rather watch.

I'm not sure Wigan are underdogs all that often though I agree with the principle. I'd rather have McD for ten more years than wane for 1.

Someone at the club has told me Hardaker to Cas on one year loan with Cas only responsible for a small part of his cost. Review at the end of the year. Personally, I'm not sure he is worth the risk given it's only 6 miles to the Warwick estate.

So we free up very little of his salary and consequently cannot afford to bring in a decent player with any sort of quality

The full cap value of a loaned player counts on the loaning teams cap, regardless of who is actually paying his wage.

Cas have announced their 34 man squad is complete. Denny remains and no Zak. Surely he stays at Leeds ?

Re: Hardaker : Thu Oct 20, 2016 4:11 pm  

Powell stated the squad is complete. No Zak.

I recon Hudds with Leeds getting Brough or Brierly.

I did wonder about brierly. Seems he isn't wanted at hudds, reminds me a bit of a younger mags with his pace, support and eye for the try line.

Problem is, he isn't what we need at the moment. I wouldn't be adverse to having him in the squad but we still need a halfback who can organise.
