Hiya,
This is rather lazy of me, but to save me time could someone sum up the general response on this board to Leeds' "calamitous" start to the season for me.

In particular I need to know:

Have we questioned Bluey's coaching credentials yet?
Who is this seasons scapegoat?
Would I be better off supporting Wire (TS walks on water, dontcha know)
Is anyone ready to hand back their season ticket, cos the players obviously don't want to know?

Thanks
MM

Meh.

Fancy buying two tickets for Leeds vs Melbourne?

Well this seasons scapegoat is quite obviously either Donald or JJB.

I think most people aren't panicking yet and realise its a long season and if we want to win all 4 trophies on offer we have to peak at the right times and the first 2 games of the season don't matter that much

Or Eastwood as a bunch of morons were wailing about in the pub after.

Correctamundo.

A bit early for it to be calamitous I would say. If we go on to win the WCC would you then be sayin its calamitous. I think not.

Lets see if this season is calamitous come October

I'd forgotten about Eastwood! We have such a large squad this season that we need 3 scapegoats. Francis Cummins and Chev Walker have been relieved of their duties.

Seriously if anyone has a bad thing to say about Eastwoods performnce then they really don't understand the game and definately should stop watching.

My mate slagged Eastwood off big time after the Cas defeat. I told him to keep a closer eye on him this week. Lets just say his opinion has changed by quite a bit!

I thought the scapegoat this year was Buderus.
It can`t be Delaney as he is injured. Then again had we not bought some crock from Oz we would have won all our games with Smithy at centre.

As fans we've panicked alot nearer the business end of the season than this and had our fingers burned for not believing. I would gauge my reaction as 'slightly concerned', but to be honest that's more to do with the WCC coming up, I don't want us to take a kicking in that which on present form is a distinct possibility IMHO.

My major concern with the form, is that since we've gone back to 2 hookers, we look exactly the same as we did when we had 2 hookers in the 17 - disjointed. I don't know whether it is coincidence or not, but after Buderus' injury last season we looked alot better team than before it, despite IMO Buderus being up there as our player of the season up until that point (Behind Senior and Sinny possibly).

Wow - I was expecting a summary that smelt of knee-jerk negativity, but alas I have been presented with something bordering on positivity. Nice!

BTW - 'Calamitous' was tongue-in-cheek, sorry for the confusion southstander4life!
