With Hall’s departure confirmed and Moon and Parcell also likely to be leaving, that’s 3 of of our biggest names.

We need top quality replacements plus quality adding in other positions. I just can’t see it happening though.

Winger, Centre, Stand Off, Hooker plus strengthening the pack.

You have to prioritise. I would have thought Lolohea is earmarked for 6, with Walker full back and Golding backup anyway? Centre's far more important than winger, and hooker's probably more important than that. But without strengthening the engine room its all a bit moot, and our pack is clearly more than just one player short, even if everyone was fit.

Its all those years investing in projects like Yates, Ormonroyd, Achurch etc. One as a squadfiller maybe but theres been too many. Im sure leeds just see a lad of 6"5 and say 'yeah we'll have him!"

There's room for one of those stringbean props in your 17, mainly as a 13, but very few of those with that kind of build are capable of the really hard yards on their own line. Peacock was probably the exception that proved the rule. Thats why I'd be OK with Mullally staying but there's not much point in him plus Ormondroyd, so i'm glad they've started to make a call there.

Guess we'll see how much Thompson impresses from now till the end of the year. Same with Crosby.

Will both be in the 2019 squad?

[Frosties.]

No because Crosby has already signed elsewhere. I’d expect Thompson to be.
