It is the last overseas signing this season, but we are looking at someone who can cover McGuire, and would be classed as home grown fwir.

So which of Kyle Briggs or Luke Gale is that then?

Re: New signing- Weller Hauraki : Fri Nov 19, 2010 1:34 pm  

So how would you have your pack next year? Oh, I think it's a good signing fwiw.

Bailey
Buderus
Peacock
Ablett
JJB
Sinfield

Leuluai
Cross
Lauitiiti
Hauraki

Burgess
Kirke
Clarkson
Pitts
Ambler
Amor
Stewart

IMO that's a pretty good pack, bench and set of reserves.

So who gets the nod to start the season ahead of Peacock out of that lot - Burgess, Ambler, Kirke or Amor?

Personally I'd go Ambler - doesn't have the upside of some of the others but neither does he have the glaring deficiencies.

Isn't Ambler on loan with Harlequins this year?

Burgess will probably be given a "last chance".

Ambler at Quins for the season so don't count him, Cross to cover Peacock until his return. Kirke or Burgess for the last spot on the bench.

That's a massive bench.

Actually it's just dawned on me. Amblers gone to Quins this year hasn't he. In that case I'd take Burgess. Also it Ablett to loose and Hauraki staring while Sinny covers 6. Clarkson on the bench.

I will be shocked if Leeds are not at least giving a trial in preseason to Paul Cooke. He's certainly proved himself to be a dipstick, but the talent is there. A preseason trial would not be a bad thing.
