Nasty injury. I did my ACL 3 times on the same knee. Hope the lad makes a full recovery.

Seems to be a strong rumour that Leeds have let Bailey and Kirke go releasing space for Lee Mossop. I wouldn't be happy about this. I thought we had first refusal.

Still think of him as our player. Even if his fitness is suspect I'd rather he come back than us sign Larne Patrick.

Alternately Leeds recent contract upgrade for Watkins, and rumours Hall is going to need one as well, means Leeds have to cut down else where?

i wouldn't have Mossop back. He would take up a fair chunk of the cap and spend most of his time on the sidelines. He wasn't really that good in his last season with us either. A shame as I really rated him circa '09

BJB also gone, and Clarkson off the cap for next season too. Hall signed a new contract recently anyway. Hardaker's contract runs out at the end of 2016, I'd imagine re-signing him is close to the top of the priority list.

I'd take Mossop, however his form and injury record have been terible the last couple of years, which makes the signing a gamble if it is true.

Leeds look pretty short in the front row and need a big signing there, especially as they will have to replace two more this time next season.

Mossop is a good player but would be high risk IMO, even more so if a fee was required.

Also signed Adam Cuthbertson from Newcastle Knights so that'll take up a bit of the "cap"

We were under the cap last season and we'll be under the cap again even with the Watkins upgrade and Cuthbertson signing.

Ian Kirke is a good signing for Wakey. He'll go well there I reckon. He's a big strong lad and very steady.

No doubt Leeds will be under the cap, it's more whether they are so far under the cap to find replacement(s) for the players that have gone this week
