Good number 7 and a good prop will make us significantly better next year. Whether we can make it happen is another question

Think we all know we need a cull, some players just not good enough or worst not trying hard enough this year, we need to bring in 3-4 more class players and promote a few young players, who do people think should go, some are obvious others juries out. I will start with the following.
JJB to retire anyway expect Ablett too to retire.

Ferres speaks for it self awful signing and never looked interested.

Singleton, championship standard at best.

Sutcliffe had enough time enough chances, his complete no show on Thursday last straw for me, time to ship out, another champion player a team best.

Myler, I have defended him before but just not doing enough, new half to partner lui needed.

Peteru, just not good enough and injury prone plus takes up Quota spot

Crosby, not played all season and nothing special anyway.

Both Briscoes, surely we can find a better winger than either of them, both liabilities under high ball and in defence and both make too many simple errors, we must have better options around than them.

Golding, clearly not wanted anyway, time we paid him out and released him if we do not want him.

Ward, plays 4-5 games a year in between being n the sick bed year after year, it's inevitable that he will only last 4-5 games next year again.


With mellors coming in, like to see Trout and particularly Walters who looks ready to step up already, oledsji and holroyd, Broadbent and Johnson all to get promoted to first team next year.

New half, one ready made super league standard winger, one more prop similar to Ava.

You know termination payments count under the salary cap, right?

If Wakefield go down we should sign Faifita

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Aug 18, 2019 8:53 am  

Yep agreed. Need someone like Peteru to go though. Whens cuthbo off contract?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Aug 18, 2019 9:21 am  

Without wishing any bad on Wakey, should they go down there are a number of players there that would really improve our squad.

Fifita, Johnstone, Ashurst, BJB to name just a few.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Aug 18, 2019 9:25 am  

Definitely. 3 of which wouldnt take up overseas. Would love Johnstone. Hes a Leeds lad as well I believe

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Aug 18, 2019 9:40 am  

Leeds need a top hooker. There is a few from Australia, but we have that same issue of the quota. They should be blowing whatever money it takes, to get the guy they should have got a few years back, Josh Hodgson. He’s as good as any out there, and covers a lot of the roles we require our hooker to fulfill. He is also non quota.

As we have seen with Tui and parcell, players can be moved on, we can trade these players for up grades if the right deal swaps come along, fact is several of those players mentioned are not up to scratch, and one eay or anither either beed moving on or dropping from the side full stop and told they will not be selected, and can look for new clubs. Sutcliffe lousey 1 carry 2 tackles 1 miss 1m gain is shocking effort, i would say its grose misconduct and sackable.

Although he only came off the bench mid way in the second half, those are terrible stats. Ward would certainly offer more - surely it's time to bring him back in?
