With Farah in the side, we'd never get slack. In fact, we could make great strides.

I agree hooker does not appear to be a priority, but was it a 'priority' when Buderus was signed ? And does anybody now regret his signing ?

If quality is available on a long term basis and it is better ( key word ) than what is presently available, then of course he should be signed.

Would anybody turn down Ingliss and Thurston even if risked upsetting Smith and McGuire ?

I think whilst regret is maybe a bit strong, I think that many would still question the wisdom of his signing.

I agree about improving the squad we should take the opportunity if it arrives, however, as has been pointed out above, signing foreign players is one of the reasons we have a smaller player pool over here

Well done sir!

The loss of one player who was exempt from the overseas/non-fed rules in Lauitiiti and the probable loss of two more at the end of 2012 - Webb and Leuluai - means Leeds need to be concentrating their overseas recruitment on areas of need. Hooker - IMO - isn't one of them.

Re: Robbie Farah : Fri Nov 25, 2011 2:18 pm  

Farah would make a fantastic acquisition.

It therefore goes without saying the chance of it happening at Leeds are close to zero.

it would be easier to sign benji marshal than robbie farah away from the west tigers as they both love the tigers club and i can never see them leaving. farah restaurant liechart tiger is named after them..

As good as Farah is, McShane deserves a chance now.
