Leeds have given permission for Ben Cross to talk to other clubs too. Looks like they are having a clear out for a big front row signing.

I'm very disappointed about this because prior to Cross and Perry coming over here I was really looking forward to those two getting into it but they've been a right pair of pasties.

Griffin is miles better than Burgess. Burgess would be worth a punt as a try-it-and-see sort of signing, whereas Griffin would be a major signing in my book.

I'm not sure he'd be a major signing, but he's better than Burgess.

Never really seen that much in Luke Burgess to be honest. He lives off Sam's name I think, yet he's nowhere near as good.

I have. For instance he scored a winner against us at KR a few season s back and that game we had with a bit of biff, when Maurie got concussed, Burgess really stepped up a gear when the going got tough.

But those big performances, combined with the fact he struggles to cement a place must mean there's some big holes in his game somewhere. I think I recall a Leeds fans critisising his defence in some way.

Wasn't Baloo seen in the same light? not a lot of minute per game when at Bradford, came to Saints changed his game and was brilliant. (best kicker we have had )
