To be fair hes only 27

How many games did tom Johnstone (hes the same age) play in the last two years? If fusi can stay fit like Johnson has it’s a good move


Online says 28, 29 mid October this year.

If he can stay fit we'd have struggled to recruit better.

So many IFs.

My worry is that with both Fusitua and Newman having injury issues we could end up next year having Olpherts/ Roberts or Martin squished in the backs for half a season.

Austin’s retention doesn’t look promising based off his interview vs Rohan’s. We need to keep Austin as we will struggle to replace 6&7 properly in one off season

Thought Fusi was superb tonight. Ran hard and fast. If he stays fit he’s amongst best wingers in SL.

Austin’s calling out GH to sit down about a new deal was interesting! I like that from him tbh. Wants to play for the club

You'd like to think that GH and Smith will reevaluating their recruitment after Austins performances, hes been unplayable these last 2 weeks but hes also been one of the better players all season, he always puts 100% effort in and he clearly wants to play for the club. Surely he should get the extra year he wants.

I'd also be happy for Sezer to stay if he keeps playing like he is but that comes with risks.

Well on current form there are not many better in SL at the moment in Austin's position.
So If he does leave who do we replace him with.

Hetherington has mentioned before that Leads have to have 10,500 just to break even.

Did anyone else see GH chatting to Austin and Sezer in the changing rooms after the match?

I suspect a deal might be done at some point.

Personally I would offer Austin one year with an option for a second. Still not sure if two years is too long; a lot can change with a player's form.

We don't know who (if anyone) Leeds have lined up to refresh our spine. It looks good when all the first choice players are fit, but I'm nervous with Myler, Sezer and Austin all well into their 30s and prone to spending time on the sidelines. It's a risky proposition to build a more sustainable title bid.

If there's a way to keep Sezer for another year I might be tempted, if he keeps playing regularly and as directly as we've seen in the last two games. Keeping him around for continuity's sake, perhaps on reduced terms, could be very shrewd.

If the team manage to carry on playing more consistently, too many wholesale changes to the squad could be detrimental to next season. If you had the 'pleasure' of supporting Leeds through the Laughton, Bell and Lance years you'll know what I mean - basically the 'Warrington way' since 2006 or so.
