G Burgess banned for 9 games, ruling him out of Soutgs regular season.

Time for us to go in?

Not quota, wants to play at Leeds... would give our pack a different physical dimension.

Would happily swap a few prop squad players for him personally, especially with Holroyd and Dupree waiting in the wings.

George can't play more than 20 minutes a game now. He's done. He'd be a disastrous signing, on name only.

Whats to stop:

Out - JJB, Ablett, Ferres, Cuthbertson, Peteru, Handley, Crosby (?)


In - Thompson, Maloney, Evalds, AN Other Prop - promote Trout, Mustapha, Johnson, Holroyd

Only JJB and Ferres out of contract at the end of the season, the others are still in contract. I cannot see them trying to off load either of Handley or Peteru, have no idea regarding Cuthbertson (but he had is best game to date this season on Sunday). Ablett has another year left, regarding Crosby, I was advised that there is no way that Crosby will be leaving Leeds this year after what he has gone through. (I have absolutely no idea what this lad has either had or gone through and everyone has been tight lipped and rightly so). No other signings for this season are in the planning stage.

Abletts deal was a one year plus one year. I know announced as two, but it did have break clause on the first year to be renewed, which I believe was based on number of appearances and would have been automatic had he played. Not saying that means he is off, but it does give the club a choice.

More than happy to say goodbye to Ferres, Ablett and JJB and look at bringing in a prop and a halfback.
Stay with what we have until next season and go from there.

Am I right in thinking we actually have a quota place available? As Martin counts as NFT only?

NFT - Cuthbertson, Martin, Peteru, Hurrell
NFT OQ - Merrin, Seumanufagai, Lui
Exempt - Albert

Whilst we have an overseas quota spot available, we don’t have a non fed trained spot, so we wouldn’t be able to bring in a overseas quota player, unless we released an NFT player IE Cuthbertson or Peteru

How come Martin isn't an OQ player?

Ferres will be gone, very bad Pr for the club if he gets a new deal.

JJB retirement at end if season he has said all along this is his last year, i do hope he gets in the field one or two more times to get a fitting farewell.

PNG International and will hold a PNG passport which, under Kolpak, doesnt count on the quota.

Would it? For example, we could offer Cuthbertson a longer contract as coach to the women’s team on condition it was full time. The others we could tell them that their contracts will not be extended once they expire, and they are free to find other clubs now.

It would push most of them to move.

Not sure the in club would do that could be rather expensive but it is an option.The problem in telling players they won't get contract's renewed is if they can't find another club is the may down tools as I believe some did earlier in the season.
