Didn't we say that about Hastings? Keep him for 1 more year and then we'll be able to get a top replacement long-term.

Yeah, and that replacement became available and we couldn’t get the deal done but I know what your saying, certainly no guarantee a top half will be available in 12 months time.

Don’t think Leeds fans would mind you signing Gale. Just doesn’t play enough games since his Achilles went....
I wouldn’t even mind us signing Tommy L for a season. We need a hooker that can pass! You can have Dwyer too...

There's a bit of a difference between Leuluai and Roby

I’m not looking for an argument but the point still stands . Two great players playing on perhaps one more year than they should one in a good team and one in a struggling team.

Is Leuluai a great player though? I'd say he used to be a good player, now he's a below average player. Roby was world class, and is still a great player. Leuluai has been a great servant to the club but is not, and never has been, on a level with Roby. If we had Roby I would absolutely want another year out of him.

We’re talking about the club captain. If he continues to be part of the playing group, and retains captaincy i can’t see him being used sparingly.

Have to agree with you if he’s staying on and he’s fit he will play non of this reduced games nonsense,which is worrying to say the least

Tommy May play a reduced amount of games as a backup for Powell and the 2 half’s . Sensible decision if he’s on reasonable money plus we need as much leadership as we can get . I think we will be better next season .

I hear he's one one of our highest paid players.

Thats a very vague statement

One of?
One of how many?
One of the top 3, top 5, top 10, top 15?

And "You've heard"
Whoever told you, can you ask them to just give us the top 10 earners please and their yearly salary ?

Cheers

If TL is going round again it should be as a 9, no way is he a starting halfback these days

Our captain/starting halfback being one of our highest paid players? Surely not.
