I'm as disappointed in Sezer as I've been with any other Leeds signing. Used to enjoy watching hum play for Canberra. Didn't necessarily do the spectacular stuff but controlled a top NRL team. His first season at Hudds he looked good, but he's completely fallen off. I thought coming to Leeds would invigorate him, then working with Smith. But he just looks like a player who has lost 'it'. Austin gives it everything and maybe with a 7 who controls the team, he'd be able make more impact

We’ve got two very good half backs. Service from dummy half is abysmal most of the time, especially when Leeming on. They’ve probably given up calling for the ball at crucial times….

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Feb 25, 2023 9:55 am  
All our spine players are not good enough, they all need replacing next off season.

Myler has never been much of a defender and is now losing the pace he had (he was never FB quick to start with) so we're left with a FB who can't tackle, is iffy under the high ball and isn't going to score himself from distance. Hooley may or may not be better, let's hope he's a late bloomer.

Austin is game but as slow as a carthorse and is prone to brain farts. He has a fair kicking game, particularly bombs, but doesn't command the game.

Sezer, I'm not really sure why he came to Leeds, he clearly doesn't want to be here and drifts around the park doing virtually nothing with the ball and offering the occasional head shot without it.

Leeming is frustrating, he has most of the skills but his decision making is really poor and whilst he is a good impact player he's too weak defensively to start games particularly against a big pack.

That's the key starters in all 4 spine positions that need to be replaced. It wont happen though, perhaps we will replace two of them.

I don’t think hooker will change next year but I think we’ll see a new 1,6 & 7

There’s not mch Smith could have done for this year

If the pack holds its own all these players will look a lot better.

Out of the spine fullback could be our biggest problem, although Myler could come back into some form (its funny though cos some people got annoyed when I suggested last year he shouldn't be talking about a contract extension until we get through this year and a way into next year, but hey ho). Hardaker would have been more solid in defence but not add a lot in attack. Maybe Hooley will come good, but it seems a gamble. Given the shortage of quality halfbacks likely to be available I'd focus on a quality attacking fullback first.

If the club see Sinfield Jr as the long-term 6 that would leave 7 and 9. Nine I'm less worried about yet as O'Connor and Johnson might keep improving.

I'd be surprised if we replaced our entire spine in the off season, available HBs are especially hard to come by, even in Australia

I can see us giving Austin another year but I think Sezer will be gone unless he turns round his form

Who do you replace him, or any of our pivots with?

I agree. I think Austin will likely get another year.
We need to focus on 1 and 9.
We need a young, fast FB. Neither Myler or Hardaker are the answer, both the wrong side of 30.
We also need a controlling, dynamic hooker, who is a leader (probably from the NRL).
O'Connor is steady, but I don't see him as the main 9. Leeming is not good enough. And time looks to be passing Johnson by.
