I think we're only 2 signings away from being very strong again. Jai Field would add speed which we are desperate for. Another Sollid prop and we are looking good

Outside backs look a bit lightweight with the exception of Koni. A speedster would be good but, in these days of reduced interchanges, another back with a bit of heft might be better (though it pains me to say it; quick players are a better watch IMO but are they what's needed most in the modern game?).

I'm conflicted on the possible signing of Field. On the one hand he does appear to have great speed, on the other he is primarily a half back, an area where we finally have some depth. If we sign him what kind of message does it send to Callum Mac? I know he can also cover full back, but does Walker really need a deputy who takes up a quota spot? The pack seems the most obvious of our weaknesses and another prop would still be where I would be inclined to spend our overseas money, if and when we ever do.

Cuthbertson is no longer the women's head coach.

Read into that what you will.

Without reading too much into Cuthbertson stepping down as women's coach , but maybe that's the first movement Leeds trying to offload him to open up another quota spot. Just read in YEP that he's doing a sports directorship in Salford university maybe Leeds let him go to a club like Salford and just say we'll pay his wages or a part of them so that it free's another quota spot. I can see either Cuthbertson or Lui getting forced out to bring in Jai Field and a overseas prop.

Agree but I think Cuthbo might be retiring he's 35 in a couple of weeks and injuries haven't been doing him any good in the past 2 seasons.
