The majority on here seem to be settled with our BR options, but for me we are short of quality there. Especially now Merrin has left. Hopefully some young players can use this as a chance to break through.

Walters A Suttcliffe and Muizzi are the young ones we have.If we have injuries im hoping we give these kids a go.Morley broke into the team young I don't see any reason why Walters shouldn't get a go next season.

Jeez, no optimism on here then!
Personally I think we are already miles better off than than this time last year. With a classy centre and another second row for cover think we should be looking to make a final this year.
We spend too cap and are the best supported team with best stadium in SL too. We gotta be aiming for some silverware next year. The standard of SL isn't very high, doesn't take much to turn things around.......

I’m sorry but you keep going about a centre? Newman has a very bright future and he needs to keep playing. If Hurrell has cut out a lot of the errors and stop coming in on defence he will easily be the best centre in super league. Things will go different this year with better support and Gale and Lui providing better passing options and with Martin the attacker he is, centres should have an easier job.

Wait till we get Jai Field, possibly.

Cuthbertson came good towards the back end of last season. No way he doesn't get one of the four prop spots. Even more likely if you play a prop at Loose Forward.

Cuthbertson was excellent in the second half of the year, he has said that was down to Agar coming in and letting him play his natural game. I think Furner vexed quite a few players off in one way or another

Cuthbo has spent a fair bit of time with niggling injuries and out for form (for various reasons) over the last couple of years for me. When he's good he's very good. Not necessarily a prop for me still though. Certainly not without more direct. big impact bodies around him anyway.

Would imagine this will be his last playing season at Leeds in any case.

I wouldn't be surprised if Muizz, Holroyd, McLelland made an impact on first grade this year. I know people want to sign and solve problems now, but actually if we're patient one or two more seasons we do have a very strong team developing here.

Wellington Albert has been announced as joining Fev on loan from Jan 3rd, for an unspecified period (so presumably recall possible at any time after the 1st month).
Don't think this will surprise anyone, he'd be miles off the Leeds starting 17 you'd think barring a rash of injuries, he did pretty well for Fev late last season and it enables Leeds to keep an eye on him.
