'We' has only been running the club since 2019, and in that time made the finals four straight years with Arthur coaching, and only missed out by a single win last year despite the injuries and suspensions. So this is the first losing season since they took over the club. They definitely think they can do better than their 58% win rate since 2019. Let's see if they're right.Yeah the Leeds Rhinos accept mid table finishes.
There the Man U or Chelsea of the SL.
There one of the biggest and 2nd most successful clubs in the super league.
Unlike a lot of the clubs based in Manchester and Liverpool. Leeds have the own town to themselves and demand success. It's just as big a Rugby League town as football with Leeds United.
Only 4 teams have managed to win it since 96. St Helens, Leeds, Wigan and Bradford
Rohan Smith got punted with a 51% winning record.
They were 7 wins 8 losses when he got the flick.
We plodded along for 11 years with a bloke who had 52% winning record.
According to Joey Johns this morning on Channel 9 he is a fullback and will accordingly be poached by another club.Also, this Fletcher Sharpe kid can PLAY! Extremely fast and versatile. IMO offers WAY more than Ponga.
What's his situation?
He extended back in May for another 6 years.Cant help but AJ Brimsom is RIPE for poaching. He came on today with 10minutes to go as they simply cant find a spot for him. He would slot in very nicely just about anywhere for us.
Yep peeps need to jump on the NRL signing tracker.He extended back in May for another 6 years.
Des has sold him a vision somewhere otherwise why would he commit to another 6 years after des was appointed and been coaching them for about 10 games.
It is a gamble but no more than going to an ordinary NRL club.If he has a poor year next year his stocks go down its a gamble going over there.

Clearly you’ve never worked for me. I believe in delegating or “empowering” people to tell me.Yep peeps need to jump on the NRL signing tracker.
No chance he is leaving Dessie has that soft touch

2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Holmes joins Dragons

Clearly you’ve never worked for me. I believe in delegating or “empowering” people to tell me.
Screw Brimson, we have Izzy now.Brimson is good but his injury rate makes him nearly unemployable
Oh it’s gold baby!I am going to use that "empowering"

If Parramatta sign him they would have learnt nothing from the Josh Hodgson debacle signing blokes with shot knees after multiple ACLsMy little birds tell me that Parra is deep in discussions with an international back who has played 1, 4 and 6 in NRL. This player is contracted to his current club until the end of 2025 but his club would not stand in his way if he wanted to sign with Parramatta for 2025. Discussions are ongoing.
Penrith can have Talagi. Friday night I didn't see him complete a single tackle. Missed the lot. For every try he scores he costs three. Keeper my arse.I think this new Penrith kid that we have bought has had better development and less wind blown up his arse than Blaize.
He’s also taller and faster. Not that it’s our problem but I reckon Talagi will be exposed more in the line playing 6 at Penrith. They also won’t cop any subpar performances as they are bursting at the seams with talent coming through.
I wish the little turncoat the worst.

If Adam D. At the right price he’d do a job. Can play, if he can stay on the field.You missed 2/7
Would this player have played for Lebanon
