Put Newman, McDonald, and a quality 9 into that team and it would be revolutionary……..
Next year looking very promising…..

There’s no 9 around, anywhere, who’d do a job with a set of passive halves. Danny McGuire could still do a better job.

Derell Olpherts signed sealed and soon to be delivered .

Olpherts is Briscoe's replacement.

Interestingly, Myler was at dummy for the last set and Leeming ran off
If Hardaker is staying and we can't move Walker on could Myler fill it at 9?

No, not by my way of thinking.
Fwiw, walker supposedly watched the hull derby yesterday before heading off for a mad Monday in Liverpool if rumours are correct

Not sure I buy that.
Why would he leave Cas where he's guaranteed to play, to join us where he will be third choice?

And before anyone says "money"....
Why would we pay loads for a third choice winger.

I reckon Fusitua is going back home.

I don't think I have ever been so less disappointed losing to Leeds. It was dreadful, what I expected a Radford team to stump up. I was fearing what would happen next week, whereas I don't think you can play that bad again & it wouldn't surprise me if you beat Cats.

I'd fancy Leeds with a full strength side, however, I am not confident if we are missing Handley, Fusitua, Newman, Austin and Dwyer.
