Only just turned 21 Volkmann, some pressure for a young lad to travel to the other side of the world and turn Leeds fortunes around in the halves and would need the other half of that combination to bring some quality and experience.

I'm pretty sure Myler is earmarked for 1 half back slot Rohan saying.

What’s odd about Frawley, is why not offer Austin another deal for a player who is clearly significantly worse. Now I think it’s good sezer and Austin are going, but the idea should be to bring in superior players to them. Miller, Austin and Myler in the spine looks better than that spine with Frawley.

I’m wondering whether RS just can’t handle big personalities. Leeming was clearly a big influence on the group, Austin seemed to be too. Walters also appears quite sure of himself. Is a players/personality of Frawleys calibre easier for RS to manage and coach?

Maybe on to something there he might not like BIG personalities he maybe jealous as he is lacking in that department.

I posted on here after the Storm game Wishart is the type of player we need and would go well in SL.
I do think Smith sees his HB`s and Hookers to move the ball on rather than run with the ball and create something.
Might be wrong.

It sounds more like its the other way round doesn't it?

Leeming threw his toys out of the pram after being dropped as captain and not starting.

Austin has come out and said that there was/is no bad blood at all between Leeds and himself, apparently it was Widdop who gave him a call to try pursued him to help the Tigers out not a falling out with RS.

Sounds off does that, like something that should be investigated. An out of contract player for next season fair enough, but calling your mate up to hand in a request to cut your contract short. Can't be right, says even more about Austin.

I'd be alarmed is any coach just wanted their halves to shift the ball on, you're not creating any space that way.

Why do you constantly make things up that you think Rohan Smith has said?

You said Smith saw Handley as long term full back aswell hich is plainly a lie

It dies sound dodgy but Austin does seem the sort of guy that wouldn’t be shy about saying if there was an issue with the club.

I agree it says a lot about him if true

Doesn’t this stem from JJB saying Smith likes Hookers that lool to pass rather than run. I think Smith actually likes running halves thats why he wants the ball to them not the the hooker running

That's wrong. There's a big difference between saying that Myler is an option there (what Smith said) and saying he is earmarked to play 6 and 7.
