Yep great news.
Puts the Wakey dreamers back in their box.

Really hope Gannon and Holroyd can stay fit.
That could make a big difference to how competitive our pack is.

Strange comment really, we offered him a deal, I believe he was close to signing with us or Wigan, or potentially that was his agent just trying to get him a better deal, he decided to stay with Leeds. For what it`s worth I would of had him in a heartbeat, a lot of fans weren`t keen.

The days of Wakey "Dreaming" of signing decent players are over, I`m not sure for instance there is much difference in terms of quality and pedigree between Oledski and Mckmeekan, who Catalan tried there best to keep. We might still have some work still to do to entice players to the club but money isn`t really an issue.

Wish you all the best mate. It would give me great pleasure to see Wakey leaving Cas etc in their rear view mirrors... it will be good for SL to see a club with vastly improved finances progress.

I think it`s like most agents to tout their player to most clubs in order to see what`s on offer.
Agent and player then go to preferred club or clubs and say this is what I can get at Wakefield for example and preferred club then says we can match it or beat that offer and both agent and player walk away happy. I`m sure Wakefield and HKR were at least 2 of the clubs offering him a deal. I also agree that the signings of Makmeekan and Johnstone wouldn`t be cheap and shows real ambition from your club. I think that you possibly need 3 or 4 decent signings and you could be challenging the mid 3rd of the table as opposed to the bottom 3rd going forward.

Would we take Abdull?

Why?

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:04 pm  

Too unprofessional with his weight and has been a bit injury prone recently. So no.

Would love Sneyd though.

Because he’s better than Frawley?
