Tindall 21 appearances in SL scored two tries. Not exactly prolific so far.

And nobody has said he is, but his addition would add to the squad, you can't have world beaters in every position and you can only play 17 each week. In a salary cap sport it's about maximising the cap and getting value which is what the clubs that have been successful have done well.

We haven't got any world beaters in any position.

Don’t agree with ashworth but sadly think club will see him as necessary evil

Not many domestic talent available, missed out on trout and walters and we need quite a few big bodies.

Guess it’s over to him to come over, be a model professional and try win us over. Better be no longer than 2 years

Think he’ll go well but is no way the finished article. Hopefully he’ll keep developing, especially his decision making.

He’s a bit of a selfish player

Seems to be a flaw with Leeds players except Sir Kev

Plus if Tony Smith thinks he can improve him as a player and get him to a level good enough for our team then that is good enough for me

Love singings like Tindall. Looked exciting when he broke through and could become a right player. I don't care at all about his top flight try scoring record when he's 21. I'd care if we was signing 29yo + wingers that are only going to go backwards. Watch us do that next! Decent teams are almost always teams that become a sum greater than their parts, rather than recruiting shed loads of mercenaries. We've followed that recruitment strategy for too long.

If the rumours of what he’s like as a person I wouldn’t want us signing him. I’d have a no scumbag policy

He punched a wall not his girlfriend. Went to court took it on the chin. He who is without sin, cast the first stone and no one did. He’s the sort of prop we could do with, I’m sure everything will be built into his contract. In TS we trust, AP does.

Have we even got a top super league player barring Clifford ?

We need to start adding quality not squad fillers

Sims,Vete, BT showed that Smith was not altogether successful in identifying so called first 13 players never mind potential and squad players.
