Clifford had a bit of a stinker this morning, maybe he'll come back

Leeds starting 17 look on a different level to what we've got.

Amazing what bringing in 3 top players does, plus trusting the youth system.

Would 4/5 good signings make a different?

Let's say Carlos, Hoy, Mcintosh, Lane and Houghton leave.

We sign an English centre, I'd target Corey Hall or Jack Broadbent.

An overseas 7 (Clifford, Hawkins, Volkman etc)

A UK backrower, or prop (Mcmeeken)

NRL loose forward like Anista

Walker
Tindall
Hall
Sutcliffe
Martin
Trueman
Hawkins
Ese'ese
Brown
Sao
Okunbor
Mcmeeken
NRL LF

Pele
Ashworth
Balmforth
Fash/Brown

Wouldn't take that much money, need to make smart signings.

Watched York last week, liked the look of Oli Field (ex Leeds academy), definitely worth keeping an eye on.

If available I'd also take a risk on Abdul, play him 13, give us another quota spot to play with.

He won't come back to FC mate. He left the City to sort his head out and get away from stuff.

Why would McMeeken sign for Hull? It's likely he could have the pick of every club. I also doubt that Clifford would come back to the UK.

Probably not, but he is 30, if we offered him a 3 year deal on marquee money (I know we probably wont) then we have a chance.

Depends on how Clifford goes, one year deal, but probably someone like him.

Can't see Nu Brown staying past this year, only a 1 Yr deal and I'm pretty sure none of his family came across.

Probably right, but if he can't get an NRL contract, then he might stay, if he doesn't we have another non fed spot to play with to get a hooker.

Hopefully Balmforth will get a decent amount of gametime this season and will show he's ready to be playing first team every week, the last thing we need is another Litten situation where a player gets frustrated with a lack of playing time and leaves.
