Can imagine after having a pretty good year, and then Leeds signing a young player right in front of him and giving them the 9 shirt, he might not be best pleased?

I’m a bit old-fashioned and don’t see why the “impact hooker” is a necessity. Some of the best players ever were 80 minute hookers.

Not having to carry a hooker on the bench every game gives some flexibility elsewhere.

Clearly still some chopping and changing to come.

Plus Agar has said Myler will play multiple roles for the team so where does this leave Dywer..Cant have both on the bench?

On reflection I'd rather have Dwyer playing against us than for us.

Dwyer would be behind Powell and tommy L, however if the Hastings rumours are true, those 2 may be needed more in the halves.

We all know about Dwyer strengths and weaknesses but at least he can inject some pace into the game off the bench. Myler as back up hooker sounds like another weird project to me. Guess it would free up even more cap though and hopefully get another top overseas forward in

Martin's passport is obviously holding things up and by the sound of it the club have no idea how long this is going to take.

Dwyer is best utilised off the bench where he can make a real impact. I hope he stays with us.

Not to fussed either way.Not convinced he would be getting a contract extension with Johnson waiting in the wings

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Mon Dec 09, 2019 1:04 pm  

rather Johnson got bench time. never rated dwyer

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Mon Dec 09, 2019 1:22 pm  

Dwyer I think is also good for dressing room moral

He may well do. What I suspect may be the case is that Leeds have told him there's no guarantee that his contract here will be extended and have told him he's free to negotiate a longer deal elsewhere, should he wish to do so. In other words, a year's grace to sort something out for a player who's clearly given it his all - as opposed to the quick out-the-door shown to players who maybe haven't.

Powell, so Dwyer would be an upgrade.

Dwyer is no upgrade on Powell.

Ive been Dwyers biggest critic and for the longest time on here but i cant see us letting him go to be honest. He can serve as a decent impact sub for this year while Corey develops at Fev and gets half a dozen or so games of SL before letting Dwyer go at end of next season.

If Wigan offer him a longer term deal and he wants to take them up on it by all means let him go. I would hope no transfer fee would be involved. I hate us to pay them something for taking him lol.
