Is Goudemamd any good, honestly can't say I've either really noticed him. What makes him such a god signing. Whilst Bentley has had his up and downs at Leeds, he shown at Saints to be an excellent player, maybe needs a change of clubs.

Only seen three full live games of him when playing in Perpignan last season.
He seemed fit,very stong and had a good defence.
If he plays second row at Leeds they will have a good second row with him and Martin.
Bentley will get a change of clubs as he is no longer required at Leeds.Too many ups and downs as you say but also he has an expensive contract

Well firstly the Bentley thing is a rumour from an unnamed source and secondly let's remember your reaction to the official announcement of the signing of Liam Sutcliffe last August.

As with any signing it's best not get too worked up either way until you've seen them play.

Not changed my mind about Sutcliffe.He has done ok but is hardly a strike centre which we need and has been helped out enormously by the excellent form of Swift on his outside and to a lesser extent Griffin who has really upped his workrate and defence in the last few games.
If we had a Leutele,Lafia or even Macdonald at Leeds, fans would be wetting themselves on here if they think Sutcliffe is that good.
Interesting to see how he goes next season without a class, fast, hard working wing on his outside especially if we end up playing the rookie from Leeds,then again for this season if Cam Scott gets a run in the first team at left centre and does well then Sutcliffe may have to wait to get back in unless there is an injury.

Changed your mind, you mean you where wrong?

Sutcliffe is a better centre than Mcdonald, better defensively and getting his winger away, I don't think it's any coincidence Swifts form has improved playing with Sutclidlffe. Mcdonald is a good winger though.

3 games

Have Leeds not offered Bentley a contract?

The issue with him, is that when he signed from Saints he was one of the best backrowers in SL, so will be on big money, I'm sure he won't get that now, certainly at Leeds.

one of those "ITK" pages on twitter has said we're signing Tyson frizell for next season, can't see that happening

Wests were sniffing around apparently. He'll get another gig in the NRL. Can't see Rovers after a SR either, not a big money one anyway

No, but did think he was slightly overrated by our fans.

I'd watched him more than 3 games to make that judgement too.

Let's be honest we could sign an Australian international forward and you would find something to complain about.
