So we are paying for George Flanagan to sit on the sidelines?

It's a waste of the budget having 3 hookers.

In that case dont sign any more players then as we have cover everywhere.

Looks like all foir signings are promising Leeds former Academy players who are now in the 1st tesm squad. All look very handy. Think Leeds would like them playing Chsmpionship rugby rather than reserves.

If it is those 4, honestly think all 4 would be regulars in our 17 and really strengthen our squad.

If they're not in or around 1st team what is the point of them signing.

Effectively we're almost a second dual reg club for leeds alongside Fev. you would expect Leeds will expect us to play their players to get them match fitness as that's their stated reason for sending them out so this could be pretty disruptive to our squad if the 3/4 leeds players are effectively guaranteed a spot irrespective of form.. Also notice they wont be made available to us until late in pre-season so not much chance to integrate them either.

Sounds like the usual dual reg type of merry go round. Hopefully Leeds will be injury free and we get these lads for a longer run. The challenge is for our fully signed up players to keep them out of the side. I'm looking at this deal as something that adds a bit of depth. What positions are O'Connor, Edwards and Johnson?

Can't see Broadbent staying for long with us.

O’Connor is a loose, Edwards a second row and Johnson a hooker
