a mate who is a rhino's season ticket holder mentioned the rumour going round headingley friday nite was tony smith coming bk to coach you ???!!!!

No chance - he is going to Catalans if other rumours are true?

With the current situation at the Rhinos, the rumours will come thick and fast and eventually one of them might be true. But I can't see it being this one.

I thought Smith was going to HKR?

I'm sorry but I can't let you get away with this one.....Garbutt was rightly praised by many for his positive beefing up of the pack last season....and without a doubt was (and is) SL standard. Certainly he is of this season's SL standards: unquestionably.



How can you reconcile 'should never have been signed' with 'helped a tired side at the end of last season' ? Surely for that factor alone it was a 'very good, prudent signing' (as indeed most said at the time)?

Without the signing of Garbutt it would have been very much less likely Leeds would have won the treble ..or maybe indeed any silverware. As you say Garbutt came at the exact right time for a team that was on its knees in the forwards and sinking. How you can then go on to say he should not have been signed is a little contradictarily bizarre.

Garbutt isn't SL standard is a ridiculous statement. He was superb for the second half of last year and as Nantwich says, was probably the reason we were able to pull off the treble.He isn't playing to that level right now but quite frankly, who is?

Always though Brian Mac was massively overrated as a coach - how long until there's an SOS call to Sinfield?

Sal Paradise in "talking utter cr@p" shocker!

new coach never rated mc dermott anybody could have taken over leeds with the team that was in place and players coming through i think lowes had more idea

You can have James Lowes, please, take him!

Garbutt played a few games against tired opposition that didn't know his game. He was fresh given his lack of activity prior to coming here.



Now everything is on a level playing field his impact is non-existent. Can anyone on here seriously say he is having anymore impact than Galloway? No he isn't and his true quality is there for all to see.



Leeds needed a fresh pair of legs - it didn't matter than much who they were - it was the fresh pair of legs that made the difference not Garbutt.



The idea that he was the difference in winning the treble is ridiculous - comparing his impact to that of Ali is frankly laughable.

Sal nobody is making an impact it is why we are where we are.



And i never mentioned Ali so i don't know why you mentioned him.
