Sounds like Ward struggling getting over the concussion. Unfortunately he just seems to take forever to recover from injuries. Fingers crossed hes good

You've got to question our medical staff putting him back on for the second half. Concussion cannot be rushed. I presume Stevie is still doing his strength and conditioning so should be even better when he comes back.

Wonder if Greenwood has been brought in to give Mellor a fee up?

If Greenwood had Donaldsons heart and bottle, he would be in the Adrien Morley mould or a Gareth Ellis, he’s not even a Carl Ablett.
I'm not impressed at all, people on here where critical of us not signing him first instead of Wigan, but done nothing there and cannot get in side/not wanted. I will be happy to be proved wrong, could be a shrewd mother be on a player with a point to prove, but see nothing more than Similar ilk to Wellington Albert, Jordan Thompson. For once Think we have better in the reserves in A Sutcliffe, Walters, Mustapha, give then a few 20 minutes in Super league to fill the gaps.

Joe Greenwood is an England international who has olayed in the NRL to put him in the same category as Jordan Thompson is silly, hes not gone great at Wigan (although he played 21 times last year and scored a few trys) and we haven’t handed him a contract

Weve pretty much nothing to lose with this deal

Iv'e played rugby to a good standard and have lots of heart and bottle. Never made me good enough to pull on a Leeds jersey sadly. Sorry but never seeing it with Donaldson but each to their own.

Agree jury is obviously out on Greenwood but he has shown plenty of quality in the past if we can get that out of him it will be good business.

Donaldson doesn't do spectacular things but is an excellent off the bench player who won't take up much cap space the lad gives a breather to the other players runs hard and will tackle anything that moves he's the exact kind of attitude you need around your squad too think he deserves a little more credit tbh

Donaldson is an excellent squad player who gives 100% and has a great attitude, he is exactly the type of player every squad needs IMO

If i played for Leeds i would give it everything i had and id have a great attitude. Doesnt mean i should play though. Great tackler makes 5 metres a game.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Feb 25, 2020 4:25 pm  

With fans like you lot who needs enemies Donaldson works hard tackles like a machine and doesn't let the squad down which the same can't be said for some of his higher paid team mates who throw out abit of magic once in a blue moon and some think the sun shines out of their hoohaa
