I'd be more concerned if we were to lose Cook than Byram tbh - for two seasons
the conversation has been about what's wrong with Byram etc - maybe he's not as

My worry on seeing the line up was Bellusci. Now we all know why!

Not sure about the Botaka comment, but am sure that Bellusci is utter sh*te.
Bamba seems to play in roller blades half the time - surely wearing a decent

The lead article on the Leeds website has Rosler saying "we can't feel sorry

The club isn't good enough to even qualify as a joke anymore. As for that

Bellusci is bloody awful - he's in the Roque Jnr group for me. Unbelievably he
appears to believe he's quite good, but he's constantly out of position, always
moaning, and often plays terrible balls out of defence. We should ship him back

Hoping for the double now, a Gods win followed by England beating NZ.
We're letting Huddersfield have too much possession - 79 mins we should be
