there is a lot of quality coming through the academy but its all 2/3/4 years away.
however all but the most deluded on here, and i'm not sure those two even believe what they say, must be worried about next season

And I'm only page 3.

Anyway, work to do.

Good thread though, I recommend reading through it. There's a ton of quality posts by the usual suspects.

It would be interesting if this smugness was in evidence this time last year?

Oh there's plenty of laughs to be had if you look through threads from earlier in the year. Hell even a few weeks back after the Cas Super 8's game I said we'd win the GF and pointed out our experience would help cancel out the fact we haven't beat Cas in 8 games one of the replies was this mocking effort

"Not according to Printer - our GF experience is all that matters - relative quality is immaterial the better side will lose because some of our players have been to OT before - go figure."

Go figure indeed

Love being called smug on a Leeds board, by Leeds fans, for celebrating Leeds success.

<edit>But to answer your question, no there wasn't. We had a terrible season but anyone with even half a brain knew why it had happened and were pretty confident of turning things around in 2017. We didn't call for the coach, captain, chief exec and various players' heads then predict the club to finish in the bottom 4 again.

Sad thing is, when we inevitably lose a few games next season they'll be at it again.

A few??? That's optimistic to think it'll take that long

OK then, one half.

One poor half is all it'll take.

In a pre-season friendly.

With barely any first teamers playing.

Against Hunslet.

I think GH likes to keep his feelings to himself on the public stage. He didn't look bored or disinterested when the scenes were shown of the team celebrating in the changing rooms after the match.
I don't side with anyone who tells blatant lies. I rather believe that he keeps his own counsel, preferring to remain silent in all but the most extreme circumstances, leaving others to interpret his silence or lack of confirmation.

He's told blatent lies plenty of times about potential signings,briscoe being one of the more recent ones. I dont mind it,he's a character. We'r lucky to have him.
