Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:06 pm  

Still slightly uneasy about next seasons squad.
Have we replaced JP and Kylie, well Garbutt has settled in already, and I like the look of Galloway. Two legends departing, but two astute signings with the potential to ease that loss.
Have we replaced Sinfield? Technically the rumours are Sutcliffe will be tasked with that, but who's taking up his role as backup halfback.
Have we replaced Aiton as frontline hooker and Ward as backup? Not yet.
I still always feel we're a bit light in the three quarters, in terms of depth.
I will have to bow to superior knowledge from others on here about how close some of the young FB, Wings, Centres, Halves and Hookers are to filling those squad gaps.

2015 - 2016
Peacock & Leuluai - Garbutt & Galloway
Aiton & Ward - ? & ?
Sinfield & Sutcliffe - Sutcliffe & ?

Generally more out than in, so some level of wages cleared off the books, got to wonder if those wages have been redistributed within the current squad or if there is room left for more than one signing (Aiton's replacement).

I still think we will bring in two signings for next season. One of Buttriss / Falloon and potentially Westerman.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:23 pm  

I think Falloon and Westerman to replace Aiton/Cover Ward, then Lilley will step up as regular halfback cover. To be fair, we have coped without Sutcliffe for a large chunk of the season.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:26 pm  

Wouldn't be fully against that.
Frontline hooker.
And in Westerman, a LF who can provide the extra distributor that we'd need with Sinfield gone (not comparing the two, but more like a need for a second pivot). Also as a back row option, freeing up Keinhorst, Ablett as centre cover.
Just need the backup hooker role nailing down, or do you think Lilley is capable?
How close are Golding and Handley to being genuine first team options, between them covering 1-5.

I do wonder if Achurch's departure and Westerman signing are linked.
In Mullally, Baldwinson, Minchella, Walters and Mulhern, we're pretty well covered for prop/2nd row outside of the usual suspects. Achurch going could be absorbed, and free up wages for Westerman.

I presume that will be Burrow, who has shown himself more than capable the last three weeks.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:18 pm  

Is Cameron Smith expected to be in the first team squad next year?

(Obviously I don't mean the one that would more than solve our hooker issue)

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:22 pm  

I'd hope that Lilley is given the chance to develop into the backup hooker.

The only must have signing for next year is hooker. If Achurch leaves then maybe a second row, but its nowhere near as important.

Lilley potentially is a quality 7 and imo when we sign another 9 that's where i personally want to see him given game time and a chance to take that shirt he has all the attributes long and short kicking game ,reads the game well can play off the cuff and has good hands.
If the Brierley signing is confirmed i have no problems with seeing Lilley-Brierley-Sutcliffe pivot combo.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Tue Oct 13, 2015 12:57 pm  

As the squad stands only a hooker is required.

Burrow / Lilley to cover 7 & 9
