Clubs are basically helpless when players start causing disharmony. Honestly better just to get rid, but you could write to GH and express your concerns if feeling that incensed!

I took your advice and wrote to GH he just said do you remember Iestyn Harris!

Let him go with a gift.
A Rhinos shirt with O'Connors name on or a mug,with Leeming's

Was Smith having a dig at Leeming in his after match comment, that O'Connor "plays for the name on the front of the shirt, not the one on the back"? A bit harsh if that was the case, but O'Connor is rightly the number 1 choice at hooker.

i didn't hear that, but sounds like it. Leeming clearly had a bit of an ego

Think some of you are being harsh on Leeming. Senior player and close to England 9 who has been put down the pecking order by a new coach, and from his point of view had the captaincy taken off him.

I happen to agree with Rohan on this but I wouldn’t expect Leeming to stay around if he doesn’t feel wanted, which is exactly how he will have felt.

Nit having a dig, no. Just praising Jarrod.

If his performances were up to the standard needed then I'm sure he would feel wanted. I'm sure Smith has made the call on captaincy and selection based on what's best for the team and Leeming not meeting those requirements. Not forgetting Smith didn't choose Leeming as captain.

His going hasn't really made much of a ripple tbh. No more than the likes of gale and sutty and probably less than Hardaker and Dwyer. Not only the coach unconvinced it seems.

Did anyone else see the (now deleted) comment on here written at half time? Someone saying we need to ditch our whole spine!
