That's why the existing relationship with Furner is key going forward - he must be content he can keep them fit and motivated, otherwise we'd surely have looked elsewhere.

Lolohea looked like that playing reserve grade at the end of the year. His lack of fitness may have been one of the reasons he didn't get picked by Wests even when he was available and they were down to 3rd/4th choice full back and halfbacks. It could just be suggestive that relations broke down with the club, so he may well put in the work in the off season. One thing's for sure he is a couple of stone above where he should be right now.

Martin Taupau the latest name to be linked to us on social media this morning I see.

I think we might see Callum mclellend feature quite a bit. It wouldn’t surprise me if he took the “14” bench spot

McLennend hasn't played a senior game of RL in his career - can see him playing a season at Featherstone.

I know that. And he may well spend a lot of time at fetherstone, however, from what I’ve heard he certainly hasn’t been brought in just to make up numbers. And by the end of the season it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw a lot more of him.

I think the outs will consist of Parcell, Garbutt, Golding, Walters, Ormondroyd, Mullally. I’m hoping that we are bringing a few in as were linked with Taupau, Young (Newcastle FB), Briscoe (permanent), O’Loughlin, Cunningham (London HK), Fensom.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Oct 22, 2018 9:45 am  

Shame about Garbutt and Parcell, good players. I'm guessing only being moved on to free up some overseas spots.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Oct 22, 2018 11:30 am  

The issue the club will have is these players are contracted and therefore don't have to go anywhere.

Golding was saying only last week that he is looking forward to pre-season with Leeds. Club can tell him he's free to find another club but if he doesn't want to there is nothing club can do and he can just sit on his contract until it expires. In Goldings case that's about 3 years still isn't it?
