Yes, that and the fact that he's got another year left on his contract

Yes Frawley has had 3 decent games all season so lets stick with him

Is that what I said?

Hastings has been poor to average this year, and wasn't much better last year. His lack of pace holds him back in the NRL more than it might in SL, but I don't see much point in replacing one slow halfback with another. I'd rather stick with Frawley and plan to get Sinfield more game time next season.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Jul 29, 2024 10:59 pm  

Would be an odd one given Frawley has a year left and we have Sinfield to try give game time to.

Not for me to much baggage, don’t particularly want Frawley but he has improved since Smith’s departure.
We could always get Brad Arthur’s son and hope his dad stays to coach him.

He's still 28, but he seems unsettled at Newcastle. It would be a bit brutal on Frawley especially given his recent form, but Blease has been brought in to make tough unsentimental calls. Still won't quite believe it till I see it.

The only team Hastings has been settled at is Salford. There he was topdog and bossed the team, got everything he wanted, all of which made Hastings look special.

Before then and since then he was stunk out the clubs he's been at with a very toxic personality that demands to be centre of attention. Wigan got rid because of this, as have West's and now he's yet again unsettled at Newcastle.

If Leeds need players to create a positive/successful enviroment then Hastings really isn't your man.

Sounds like its not happening anyway and was just speculation off the back of him struggling currently at Newcastle. Losing Martin is a shame but at least there is clarity now around the cap and available quota space and Leeds can plan recruitment properly for next year.
Clearly we need 2 big forwards either 2 props or 1 and a big back row and at least one of them needs to be able to play big minutes and match Oledski numbers. If we can add that and another high impact type to spell Lisone we would look more like in the pack. We have at least one spare marquee spot available as well

There may be a plan somewhere but i do not trust the club to get it right , we have been here for 7 years , the club just drifts along and are losing supporters . The away following is shocking and can anyone blame people for giving up on the club .

2nd rate signings and no team spirit , a coach who was allowed to drift along even when a layman could see it was not working .

i am not a jonny come lately so i have seen it all but even in the dark days we were playing attractive Rugby , we are not even capable of that now .

Who has played well this season .

Most games , Martin and Handley

Some games, Croft and Oledzski

Very occasionally , The rest

Ill be sad to see Rhyse go but if KR are willing to throw silly money at him, which will probably be his last deal then he goes with my best wishes.

We can’t be held hostage to paying big wages.

The 3 same comments when losing a player to another team in super league (mainly Leeds fans)

1. ‘If their offering silly money they can have him’ wrong you offered him the same deal

2. ‘He’s past it anyways looking for one last payday’ he’s going to be 32 in march 2025 not exactly old

3.’we’re bigger than them why is he going there’ Leeds are not a big club anymore in terms of league position etc you’re middle table dwellers, you all say it every week after a loss but when another fan says it it’s suddenly different

until the dinosaur that is gary hethrington goes you'll get nowhere, he got gifted a golden generation and now hes had to dip into the market every year he's failed

no doubt hes keeping blease on a tight leash

You are totally correct in all you say except of course we do not know how much money he has been offered at either club
