Mat Peet is obviously a very good coach and maybe even a great one, but he's been immensely fortunate to inherit two lightening quick game breakers in Field and French. Parachute him into the Leeds job and the current squad and, just like Arthur, he'd be picking the likes of Frawley and Ackers until such time as they could be upgraded. If we haven't learned by now that chucking in 18/19 year olds from the academy leads to long term injuries we never will.
Very true, but Peet seems to be getting a lot more out of 'the likes of Leeming' than Leeds did. Dwyer is also going better now at Leigh too, broadbent seems well liked at KR and progressing well, Sezer did relatively well at wests and now at Hull, and Corey Hall even looks like hes coming on. I'm sure I've missed a few there too.
What is the perpetual problem at Leeds...
Sounds like an exam question for a masters degree. Discuss in no more than 10 thousand words. My feeling is that we've let things slip through a number of unambitious and unspired coach appointments at all levels of the club. Blease and Arthur were a huge leap in the right direction and despite the mixed start to 25 I think things are changing for the better. You posted somewhere about being worried about recruitment given the uncertainty around Arthur's future. I couldn't reply because the site is very wobbly, but my view is that whether he stays or not we should commit to the intensley physical style he wants us to play and recruit players with that in mind. Any potential incoming coach could make a choice on that basis.
