What has recent got to do with it?

The current CEO has been in charge since 1996, so Mears treatment is relevant.

I've already stated earlier that Leeds have a reputation for being malevolent, hostile, litigious, towards players who the club (The CEO) no longer see eye to eye with.

Far more malevolent, hostile and litigious than any other club I'm aware of.

Here's others who the club have treated poorly during the tenure of current management... Jamie Thackray, Ben Cross, Darrell Griffin, Paul Sterling, Nick Scruton, Paul McShane, Danny Ward, Lee Jackson, Mark Calderwood, Liam Hood.

I get it.

You don't like the CEO or the club being criticised.

This is a discussion forum with lots of differing views.

Get used to it.

The £250,000 asking price will be negotiable. I'm sure if Cronulla offer £100,000 and GH thinks that's the best offer we'll get he'll take it.

Cronulla won't be offering anything.

Nor will any other NRL club.

Just like the Bulldogs offered nothing for Eastwood apart from some vague close relationship in the future.

Well considering you wrote.... "Absolutely not, but what concerns me is the reputation the club has for retribution, recrimination, hostility, malevolence... etc... as is being displayed CURRENTLY by the ceo AND THE COACH, yet again!"

.....then a 2001 example that doesn't even involve the current coach you included in your criticism is rightly questioned.

Plenty on that list that had questionable attitudes/behaviour whilst here so hardly a one way thing!!
I'll happily question/criticise GH on a number of subjects but lets not hold every player on that list as holier than thou & blameless for their treatment/departures

And you're entitled to that opinion.

Unfortunately for the CEO, he no longer has a squad of players with a core group displaying leadership qualities who look remotely likely to bail him or his ego out anytime soon.

Now where's that Plan B?

I agree with that & thus far "plan B" has been a car crash the next 12/18mths will be crucial & show whether or not the CEO has reached his sell by date i do think his 2 biggest mistakes thus far wrt the transition has been recruitment & retaining this Coaching set up which doesn't bode well at all imo.

Karl Pratt.

I know that Karl Pratt had two years left on his contract when Leeds let him go and lost a tribunal at the RFL in to trying to get a transfer fee.

However

As for Pratt, Powell is reluctant to comment on his release, although he supported remarks made by Gary Hethertington on Thursday.

"Karl has been at the club four years and his level of commitment is way below the standard required," said the the Rhinos chief executive.

"Unless he changes his attitude and habits he will struggle wherever he plays."

What I don't know is whether Leeds paid out the remaining contract.

Don't forget the disgusting way we've treated Mitch Achurch.
