from Cas i would put Gale, McShane, McKmeekan, Millington, Moors and Solomona in our 17.

Lets be honest guys.

I would agree with the exception of McShane to make our 19 this year and I would add Dorn who IMO is and was a far better and more intelligent attacking fullback than the much overrated Hardaker.

Whilst I agree he has been a better full back this year discounted him as he has retired now hasn't he

Yes you are correct Cas are now top dogs in West Yorkshire.

Whilst you're saying this to get a rise I hope you do continue to develop as a club and team as I miss the competitive Yorkshire games with Bradford being gone so long.

Agreed.

isn't it 3 in a row now too with two on the bounce at Headingley?

no doubt Cas are top dogs this neck of the woods right now, and they look on an upward trajectory. I'm glad they are competing and always enjoyed the Derby game with them.

You certainly were in 2016 and given our lack of recruitment (so far) looks every chance you might be in 2017 as well. Can you win trophies though????

I have no idea, i would hope we have a chance.
If we sign Hardaker and he is at his best next year his defense wins matches. Best defensive Fullback i have seen for a long time in SL maybe even the best.

Leeds is the only away day i do every year now. I did go to Wakey as well this year though as we didn't have them at magic.

Isn't it also 3 defeats on the bounce at Headingley and a drawn game before that?

There's some misplaced arrogance around on here. Having said that, the perpetrator on this occasion is well known for his 'Can Leeds go unbeaten all season' threads so we shouldn't be surprised.

If you can get his head on right he will be a big asset and I agree his defence can be top notch.

I'm not sure about you winning trophies next year, you often need to lose a couple to start winning. I would expect you to be in and around them though, probably more than we will be.

Re: Hardaker : Tue Oct 18, 2016 8:03 pm  

As good as their attack is to watch I think they'll have to be a big improvement in terms of their defence before they could win anything. Nobody, not even us, conceded more points in the opening 23 Rounds last year and you don't win trophies with that.

For all the talk about Powell, Orr and Sheridan leading them to be a good attacking side they could do with adding someone that tightens up their defence.
