As of yet not replacing scruton hasn't proved that costly and we still don't know if the like's of ambler and l.brown will make an impact this year if they get selected.
The squad has plenty of versatility imo and who know's we may end up with another "anselme" as a short term stop gap plus worrall to come back into contention.

Why have prices gone up at Headingley when the product on offer has reduced in quality?

When injuries arise to one or more of the four dedicated props it will be too late to question the squad depth for this season. This is where (IMO) Eastwood came in but as he won't be here this season someone is going to have to fill the breach. 5th prop was done by Burgess last season, it looks like Ian Kirke will now get the job this season. That's a pity for Leeds as he was shaping up in the Lauitiiti's wide impact runner role from the bench as Lauitiiti's fitness continues to hit and miss.



Aye we may that and neither of them are what you'd term SL standard outside of the also rans and dregs.

He did a job when we were short.
Worrall will improve again this year imo and like i keep saying IF the right player is out there i'm sure we'll get him.
Missing out on eastwood was a blow but i don't think it's a crisis.

Ask the board!!!
You know that if your not happy paying you don't have to go don't you?
Plus we need the extra dosh for sam burgess' 5 yr deal.

Sam will be 30+ by time Leeds sign him

It will be another JP situation, we will get one good season out of him if were lucky

Worrall is what he is, cheap and cheerful cannon fodder, only now with a dodgy shoulder to recover from. Even before the injury he wasn't big enough, strong enough or explosive enough. I won't be holding out for much of an improvement in those deficiencies in a 24 year old.

Could do a job for the likes of Salford perhaps.

I thought he did a reasonable job tvoc tbh.
Age shouldn't matter afterall look how old the like's of kirke and raleigh were when they made the step up to SL and both have improved a great deal.

Look at the natural physique's that came with Kirke and Raleigh and then get back to me with regards Worrall.

So you have to be huge to be decent then???
I'd prefer to see how worrall come's back after his 1st season at 1st team level before writing the lad off mate.

No but if you are a forward, it helps...
