Well if we continue to go for players such as Jordan Thompson instead of biting the bullet and paying the likes of Joe Greenwood what he wanted we will be lucky to have anyone represent us for a long time to come with the exception of Watkins that is and the lack of too many quality centres running around.

It is quite damming. That said, we all know Ward would be in the squad were he to ever stay fit and there is potential for Oledzki and Walker to be in there in the not too distant future. One thing is for sure, it's not a bad time to be a 16-18 year old in the Leeds juniors, if any of those lads have anything about them they don't have too much in front of them to shift right now to break through, hopefully a few can and will.

You mean the big, strong running 2nd rower Joe Greenwood who can braak tackles for fun and is exactly the type of forward we badly need???? Nah I'd rather of Thompson.......much cheaper. (sarcasm)

It won’t be Hastings as a big signing, he’s confirmed another year at Salford.

Well Marty. What u think of GHs email? He reckons he's making signings as opposed to promoting youth n keeping players so maybe he'll break the bank in order to sell season tickets.

Big signings? Yeh right!

He didn’t say instead of promoting youth, he implied instead of retaining.

I take it the big signing is the second row forward from the Cowboys?

From what I can gather, Shaun Fensom works his butt off in defence, offers nothing in attack, and is frequently out injured. Is he just a younger version of Brett Delaney? On the basis that he can't be everywhere on the pitch at the same time, if he's being brought in to stiffen up the defence, I'd simply attack the other side of the field if I were the opposition.
