Seen a few quotes from Brad Dywer where he was quite open about moving on in 2023. Clearly he wants to stay, but obviously feels like he's going to have a real fight to get in the 17 next year and beyond.

Wakefield but near to Leeds!

If Johnson lives up to the expectation then Dwyer is probably right.

Thing is that Leeds needs to change into a slick team.

We need to be an organism rather than a collection of individuals with the odd standout player.

For me that begins at 9 and unfortunately Dwyer isn’t that player. He’s devastating against tired middles but the price is a disjointed team behind him.

If Johnson kicks on next season I can see Dwyer's first team selections limited. There are several who are off contract that may move on. We have to lose of them as the younger players we keep will get upgrades and we still need a bust the line prop and he who ever he is won't come cheap.Lots of tough decisions will have to be made during next season. 14 players off contract and we certainly can't keep them all.

Big if with Johnson, believe it when I see it, all the hype but reckon he has not got the bottle for it, typical big lad (proverbial) at junior level, not got it at Open age/super league level. See also Cameron Smith, Jason Netherton, Marcus Vass, Jamie Field etc.
Happy to be proven wrong.

Cameron Smith has been top class for the last 2 seasons how anyone can say he hasn’t been up to Super League level is beyond me. His development stalled when Brian Mac decided to try and turn him into a front rower

Hmm not sure about the bottle or big lad tag. From what I've read he fell out of love with the game. Cam Smith really he's been playing well and for mine should be out starting 13.

"Look, I'd never use injuries as an excuse..." Daryl Powell

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumouour Thread V3 : Mon Oct 25, 2021 4:52 am  
Smith's still a work in progress imo. Happily the bad games are increasingly outnumbered by the good. Still the odd horror show thrown in though

The only twist I could see happening still is if maybe Gale decides to go elsewhere and the club lets him; or we get a serious bout of homesickness with one of the NRL players.

Other than that we are looking set as a squad for next year. It's not the ideal situation without another big body prop, but I do think we should be better as a team, and then if we can do better with injuries our season should look much improved.

We do have a nice mix of youth and experience now, we have come a long way from the dark years and it seems impossible that we would be in any danger of finishing towards the bottom this year.

Whether we have quite enough to take the title... injuries will play their part and a bit of luck. We shouldn't be without hope though.

Don’t believe anything from SARL.
