The whole team is not fit at the moment
I wont pick apart youre whole post because it would take me all day. However this comment is complete rubbish.
Do you have a short memory? The side went to the UK, without any game time under their belts, and managed to stick it out for the full 80 in what was basically a game of touch football (speed wise) and came away with a win.
How do you come up with a lack of fitness from that?

Hey dicklickers. I didn't know that your now had an e on the end of it?Â
Big deal we beat a team from the Uk which consists of blokes who wouldn't get a run for south's reserve grade. Â Gee that was really a big test of our ability. Â Not!
I suggest that you actually watch a few of the ESL games to see that the standard is piss poor and even fat old bastards like yourself could play and be a superstar.
Have a look at the list of players over there at the moment:  Scott Donald, James stosic, Sam Obst, Todd Byrne, Michael Dobson. Daniel Fitzhenry, Michael Vella, Like Dorn (you will get half a woody at that name), Matt Gafa, Chad Randall, Ryan McGoldrick, Ragi Chase, Michael korkidis, George Carmont, Cameron Phelps. They should plick the Australian team from that lot of superstars. Â
Thie list goes on. Â It is nothing more than a reserve grade competition. Â We could have beaten them the day after the grand final when our players were still drunk.Â
I suggest you watch the replay of Sundays game again and see what i mean. Â The warriors are not known as the fastest and fittest team around yet they made quite a few of our players look like slugs.
Watch the first half again and see Mattai be run around half a dozen times and see how slow he is when he turns and tries to chase them.
The same with Glenn Stewart in the seond half. He tried to run and chase a couple of warrriors players but didn't have the legs.Â
Why does Des persist with drawford kicking from restarts? He can't kick 20 metres FFS.

It must be so easy, if we were the first team since the Roosters to win it.
I can see how an unfit team could do something that only 1 other team has managed to do in the past 10 years!!!
That makes complete sense to me.
F**khead.

The standard of ESL has dropped in the past year or two plus the other clubs treated it like a holiday and not a serious game.
Also Leeds had injuries leading up to the game and are probably the weakest ESL team to play against the Ok champions.
