It seems so quiet. Can't someone make up a rumour or sommat?

Or can't someone pretend they know something but say nothing? Actually I'll do it.

I've been told we've made a great signing. Will please a lot of Leeds fans. 3yr deal.

Is it a back or a forward?

Garbutt to leave and Kirke to come out of retirement and take back his old number 17 shirt.

Can't say. Sworn to secrecy.

There are only 5 possible games to go this season so surely the powers that be have some clue as to the make up of next years squad ?? So far we are all underwhelmed by our signings of two out of contract halves who weren't going to have their contracts renewed by their current clubs !!!
The money saved on McGuire/Burrow, surely the highest paid at the club, should really be better spent.
We have an ageing pack, Galloway's injury will just mean we will see him finish his last year plodding away. We still hve no news whether JJB is continuing ? what about Sutcliffe, we've tried half back,full back and Centre and he's not good enough for any, but my sense tells me that GH will want him at Centre, keep Moon at halfback which will save the club money. I cant guess what the club have in mind for next yer, maybe their hoping for a trophy which will then ease their recruitment problems. It would be nice to be kept informed though ???

I actually think that given a full off season - Sutcliffe could be a decent centre and that Myler / Moon could be a good half back partnership. Dwyer / Parcell will also be a good interchange. Agree the pack isn't good enough but other than that, I don't think the squad is too far away tbh. Get a decent prop in and a decent 2nd row to replace Ferres / Delaney or Ablett

We will have a similar squad to this year it seems. Myler is pretty much like for like for McGuire and it looks on the face of it we will be going with what we have again. We are a steady team, i'm not going to predict any massive demise and think we will still be comfortably in the 8's again next year but i think any successes moving forward will be dependant on our rivals and how they strengthen and perform as the squad is lacking in a lot of areas to be a dominant force.

The likes of Cas and Hull seem to be learning and improving each year. Saints now look to have a decent coach again and will only improve and Wigan will surely not have an injury list like they had most of this year. Warrington will be looking for massive improvement so that's 5 teams who have potential to be stronger than us. Then you have a few aspiring teams like Salford and Wakey lurking i think it will be tougher next year for sure if it's the same coach and similar squad.

would be great to see a couple of inspiring signings. a bulldozing, offloading back row and a controlling half should be top of the list but looking pretty unlikely for me.
