I dunno, RS played his hand with Frawley, Mom, Croft, Ackers, Miller, plus a couple of re-signings and projects - and it hasn't worked.

If Arthur can be persuaded to stay, he'll have had a good look at the squad before pre-season with fresh eyes and high standards, and I think he and Blease can work out a plan. We do have talent waiting in the wings so I'd expect us to be more resilient next year. The actual first choice side might be quite similar though, which is a worry.

Whether we get 2x props or 1x prop and 1x back row I don't really mind as long as they're the right standard of player for Leeds. Will that be enough to turn this side into title contenders, with a different coaching and conditioning approach? Not convinced.

If we could bring Kal back in plus 2 good props I wouldn't hate on that. We are going to need another cull after next season though.

Indeed, I was thinking about this the other day.


Weve had coach after coach come in and harp on about culture and singing coombyya while burning twigs in fires and other "Woke Nonsense"


Arthur has come in immediately, seen the problems and told the players exactly what he wants and what level he expects, were now reaping the benefits of this.
All players know their roles, know what is expected and are acting professionally again under BA's watchful eye.

Interesting interview with Blease on SKY re Arthur's future. Decision to be nade one way or another in July. He seems quietly confident to me. I think BA will stay for another year.

Very interesting, if a little interrupted by adverts. It’s definitely a possibility and we will know soon enough now. Bleasey is a wily character, he’s one or two steps further down the path than he’s letting on…


Also interesting that he’s now turned most of the recruiting attention to the 2027 season and want’s to be ahead of the pack for that. Great news.

Not seen it yet, 2027 season... wow.. that must mean he's pretty much got 2026 lined up already then which is very good news. 


Be a huge shot in the arm if Arthur stays... i'd love him to sign a 2 year deal though, he could lead us to a major trophy in that time, but he needs more time to tweak the squad yet imo.

Blease could go down as one of the most import pieces of recruitment since we brought in JP in years to come. We will look back and say that was a huge huge moment.
