Only making the point that Leeds unlike Wigan and St Helens are not replacing as many players in their squad of home produced quality like they have done in the past from their Academy and have increased the number of players from down under as a result. And if you have not noticed all clubs promote young players on their books, perhaps more so at Wigan when we have so many more of quality than other clubs.butt monkey wrote:You two should get a room with your little "love-ins"Whelley Warrior wrote:Thank you TBW and glad to see that you realise what I was getting at in regard to the Leeds replacements which due to not producing as many quality academy players in recent seasons have resorted to signing more players from down under.

Leeds have lost 4 quality SL players and replaced them with players that are yet to prove any quality in SL! That is all WW was saying, so I ask again why was it ridiculous? I think you have walked into a few trees by the sounds of it!!
Not that hard is it!
Neither of you read but write utter shi7e to attempt to make a point. Read what I put and then read your own reply back
Sinfield - who could they sign to replace their club captain and talisman? IMO they got Cuthbertson to fulfil that but depends how you look at their signings, Leeds planned ahead is my opinion
Peacock - one of the World's best props still even at 37. Please suggest who they possibly could have signed to replace him? None from over here that is for sure
Aiton - Leeds attempted to sign McIlorum. If you are not happy with that they signed an overseas hooker after that fell though. How good he is and is he better than who they had in reserve that we will see in the coming season
Leuluai - How many rated him when Leeds signed him? Never a vaunted signing and a player who at times appeared to struggle in the first team. Yet on his departure some regard him as "irreplaceable"
Well I am telling you this, Leeds HAVE attempted to replace these players. Does it matter if they came from Timbuktoo? Not if Leeds maintain their stature in the game
The point I made and you both pertinently ignore is that Leeds DID sign someone. Time will tell if they made the right signings but what I can tell you both is the opposite end of what Leeds have done is Wigan. We have simply had the attitude that no matter who leaves we can always put 13 on the field even if they have to play out of position.
Before I end attempting to make a point to people too ignorant (or arrogant) to understand. Are you both fully happy with our recruitment for next season?
If Flower leaves (as this thread IS about) are you happy for us to play Greg Burke at prop (or whomever)?. Do you not think we as a team need to recruit and not simply promote juniors who may not be ready or good enough at the time of them being thrown into the first team?
And where does Burke having to play at Prop come in to it when Flower apart, we have Crosby, Clubb, Mossop, Sutton, Tautai and Bretherton.
As for Flower, has the rumour only started because someone down under has said that a prop forward from England is going there and with Flower putting his house for sale, we get the usual suspects assuming things.
And if you are not happy with the strength of the present Wigan squad, perhaps you should make your opinions known to the club instead of like one or two others, for ever moaning about it on a website.
As for me and TBW having a love relationship, you must be joking!
p.s. And there is no need to resort to being the worse type of Wiganer with the language!
