Why was he "missed out on"?

I'm not concerned that we've not signed Flanagan.

I am concerned that Saints (and others) have already made numerous quality signings for next season and all Leeds have done is give new deals to existing players.

Few people mentioned his name when speaking about possible signings.

As far as I can see a lad with 11 1st team appearances at Wigan and mostly reserve grade appearances at Wests this year.

I fail to see we have missed out on anything especially with Clarkson, Ablett and JJB at the club.

I don't know why people keep thinking we're going to sign somebody.

Have people not noticed that we keep resigning the current players that are supposedly leaving? Given that we seem to be sticking with a completely inept coach to save a bit of brass, what possible indication is there that we're about to sign anybody of any caliber?

A second row version of Luke Burgess.

I'd be surprised if the features in the 13 for Saints that often next year, but he'll give them some squad cover.

Squad players who can play in the second row is the last kind of signing Leeds need to be making.

Sorry, I must have missed the news about Cross, Burgess and Senior re-signing.

The futures at the club of Bailey and Lauitiiti have yet to be decided (or announced).

I suspect Webb at least would have taken a pay-cut compared to his previous deal.

Ah right. Now you've put it like that, I expect us to announce Darius Boyd any minute now....
