I think it`s a no brainer we should be offering Austin 2 years especially when you consider some are touting 30+ Aussies from the NRL me included if its Shaun Johnson!
Losing both Austin and Sezer would be a concern.
And how good is Walters looking.
Rohan Smith mentioned how keen the younger players wanted to get their contracts sorted early and I reckon he meant Walters.
Had Walters waited until now and realised how much game time he was getting he could have decided to stay.

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.


Yes saw that picture! Austin wasn’t looking particularly happy though but it’s hard to tell from a snapshot.

Had the pleasure of seeing those years at Leeds and know what you mean

Austin has earned the two years,if that's the only way we can keep him.

I still think keeping Fusi and Sezar is a mistake.

I agree about Sezer.
Looks like Fusitua is about to extend his contract with us.
Good news if he stays injury free.

The Fusitua decision is a real gamble in my opinion, not because he's not an excellent player - he clearly is - but because his time at the club has been so blighted by injury. Can only assume that is new contract is on much favourable terms to the club, and that medical staff are satisfied that there is no underlying physical weakness. If he is staying I'd like to think we can execute a gameplan that will put the ball in his hands in try scoring positions more often. When we do he makes it look really easy.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Fri Jun 30, 2023 2:44 pm  
The thought of going into next season with the same spine ( but a year older ), two injury prone outside backs whose only cover will be Olpherts and Roberts fills me with ... meh? I guess.

*IF* we get lucky I'm sure it will work,if not we will be top 10 at best again.

What concerns me is we put off the big recruitment this year then end up with too many that need replacing in one go ( which happened with golden generation) so we just live in this state of meh for another 2-3 years.

But then you could also buy new players who either dont perform or are injury prone, an you're still in the same situation.

This is the risk you take with every recruitment and retention.

If we can get a good quality half in place of sezer we should. If one isn't gettable til next year we wait. We need to be looking at a prop too. Centre has been an issue but I can't see us looking there with simpson back and we won't bring in someone higher in the pecking order when fit than newman and macdonald. We'd be looking at a centre outside the 17 with martin, Roberts and simpson I can't see it.

What's available has to be the determing factor. Agree with you that Myler is a solid full back, but if a truly game changing one is available I think you have to strike while you have the cap (and crucially) the quota spaces available. The fact is that none of the players who might be leaving are bad players, in fact on their day they are all very good. The problem is that they have had two seasons together and really struggled to crack the top six both times. If we could get a scrum half ( assuming Austin stays) and a full back as our marquee type signings it would give us a better chance of competing for trophies, in my opinion. I'd be looking a domestic prop rather than in the NRL. One thing is for sure - I'm glad it's not me who is doing the recruitment.
