Whitehead for next year on marquee

Is that a hope or a rumour, I'd definitely take him for a year, try to get him here this season if possible, exactly the type of forward we are missing.

I know Hall in Old, but I'd have been quote happy to sign him for a year, improves Leeds wing options and gives them a quota place to play with.

34 year old Tariq Sims...27 year old Okunbor, I know which one I'd rather have signed this season

I’d have even took 36 year old McQueen over him if he hadn’t retired.

But if we want to be at the top, then we're gonna have to make players of his calibre in our league.

Tom Johnstone, another one up for grabs, we could do with a quality winger. Are we going in for him or do we sit back and let our opposistion have him

Tom Johnstone heading back to Wakefield according to reports along with Minekin from the Dragons

Whitehead is exactly the type of player we need, an experienced head and most of all, a very good second rower.

Whitehead has only played 35 mins this season for Canberra.

Believe he copped a ban and has struggled with a pec injury, so he'd fit into our side perfectly

I think we do need some experienced heads around. We need to find a new Gareth Ellis type signing or a Mark Minnichello or a Frank Pritchard. Someone that not only brings something to the field but offers qualities off it too.

Missed the first few games, then came back for one and got a calf niggle. Could be back this week

Could definitely do with someone like Whiteheads experience in the camp, again, like Myler he has been at top clubs (Canberra and Catalan) for a long period, we well as playing 31 games for GB/England, nobody in our current squad comes close to that level of experience

Thought Whitehead was retiring
