Top bloke Dave Furner... Was a VERY bleak day when he left... I don't think we have been the same since... If i'm correct i don't think he really wanted to leave, perhaps someone can help me with this.

Are you the only person who doesn't know why he left?

Thats what i was thinking.

Furner and Farrell are huge mates and it was the poop*est rumour ever!

So, our likely signings if any for next season are:

Brough & Griffin based on rumours.

Both would improve what we have.

Likely coaching targets could really be anyone but seems to be:

McGuire / Fairleigh / Lam.

The only one I could see unseating Noble would be McGuire, surely Lam or Fairleigh would only get an assistant role alongside Wane with Noble in charge.

I was out around Wigan chatting to Dave Furner the day Maurice told him he wasnt going to offer him another deal, he was devastated and it certainly made Leeds a better side and us weaker.

Lenagan has said we'll be signing nobody but we can only hope thats not true. We don't need major additions but we don need a solid prop as a minimum and if possible a halfback with a decent kicking game.

I'd be happy enough with Griffin and Brough.
