If Bentley gets an NRL offer he will leave.
They have so much more money that a few teams might take a punt.

I wouldn't mind it if he stayed,we have enough to replace without losing more young British talent

Yes I fear you are right doesn't fit the model/criteria don't think he'll be the last either.

If not fitting the criteria is playing like a headless chicken and refusing to learn from many lessons he'll almost certainly be on his way. Not to the NRL but to another SL team who are winning to play over the odds for a hot head. I've seen him have some very good matches for Leeds, but not many. I have seen him play with a complete lack of control on many occasions. Looking at it logically we should be offering him a reduced deal if we are thinking about retaining him.

Bentley had a good last half to last season so there’s definitely a player in there.
My money is that he will be off to the Dolphin’s where he can work with his old St’s coach.
If he was staying he would be signed by now.

Tindall and Walters barely play now so are clearly not good enough as it stands and you cant miss players that rarely play anyway.

I think its absolutely right that Leeds should not be held to ransom.

I dont think the club made bad decisons by not resiging either Dwyer or Sutcliffe last season either. Both have done little.

Disagree with Sutcliffe, he has been excellent for us

He should have been pretty fresh for the second half of last year,he spent the first half banned repeatedly

That had a lot to do with over zealous officiating but he has declined since he was asked to fill in as hooker there is also a trend to binn off British rather than over paid Antipodeans

Gildart, whose name cropped up upthread, is HKR bound. Thankfully.

Are we actually linked with anyone players seem to be leaving but no one coming in

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Thu Jun 01, 2023 8:27 pm  

We were linked to Fitzgibbon but nothing of import.
