Signing a stand off marquee could be difficult.IF Eastmond isn't a success at 6 then i would try to sign Trueman providing we can afford the transfer.His salary wouldn't be cheap but maybe not at marquee level.

Trueman will go to Wire with Powell if he goes anywhere. Just don’t see why he would want to come to Leeds .

Not sure you can have any basis for that comment. You have a single game to judge him, with a massive injury list when he hasn’t played any game for a year and hasn’t played RL for about 9-10 years.

On top of that signing a Marquee stand off sounds great but a fair number of teams would like to do that. Signing somebody Marquee from the NRL doesn’t mean anything, good example Widdop

Apparently he smashes all their fitness/running tests. We might as well have Forest Gump reffing :D

Why pay marquee money to a stand off who will just stand at 1st receiver watching our 2 goons at hooker pass to a prop on the last or run aimlessly off a slow ruck? Might as well pay me 50 bob a week and i will stand there. Brad thanks for the pass but next time could you aim a foot in front of my belly button so i can run onto it rather than a foot behind my hip please? Joke.

Dont care if our stand off is marquee or not but from somewhere we need a top quality 6. This squad is crying out for one.

Lui has done the job he was brought in for, which at the time was to keep us up and steady the ship. His contract is up this year and its time to upgrade a vital position.

A top quality stand off and we are a contender again. Next season is the time to add one.

When Prior, Mik and Tetevano are around our pack is very good i hope Prior stays but we will see. Those are the 2 priorities for me.

He has no concept of the game. Worst ref in SL and least respected.

Surely, the taking it in on the 5th tackle was an Agar tactic rather than poor decision making from our hookers. If it was not a game tactic then I would be very criticial of the hookers.

It was very frustrating the amount of times we took it in on the 5th. I can understand why teams do it but surely it is better to go for repeat sets or challenge for tries than simply play it safe and score nothing?

Re: Chris Kendall : Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:45 am  
Being subjective he calls what he sees, he's super fit and usually in a good position to see clearly, applies the rules as he sees them and I don't think he has a bias to any team in particular, even if it does appear that way to both sets of fans at the time.
He does not make any team win or lose a game and if you put him in a position to make a call then you can't complain at what he sees.
Reffing is an unenviable job in any sport but we wouldn't have a game without them.
I'm as guilty as anyone at bagging them during a game but that's emotion and passion getting the better of me.
Give the guys a break, I honestly believe that they do the best job they can

...in spite of all that, Kendall is in my opinion not of the required standard.
