He's not been able to deliver that talent on the field on anything like a consistent basis since he left Hull FC though Gotcha.

If he had, then that idea might have legs. I'm struggling to see how a move to Leeds would suddenly turn around a career that is in terminal decline.

That's a massive bench.



Haven't we just!

We have a mobile starting pack to tire out the opposition forwards and a strong set on the bench to punch holes in the 2nd part of the halfs. We also have depth to mix things around if needed.

Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?
Fletcher: No, Bradford.

It's fair enough, but that was why I said preseason rather than the actual season. It would then be up to him to prove himself again.

Just to clarify though, I don't like the guy and under different circumstances I would say stay well clear. But Leeds are obviously seeking a short term option and one preferably cheap enough. At the end of the day he's certainly proved himself a match winner before, so can he satisfy that option.

In terms of temperament, he's not the type of player we'd touch with a barge pole these days IMO.

Underwhelming.

Seems to be a trend with Leeds recently when it comes to overseas signings.


GH is a very clever man!

Just look at it this way, we won the league 3 years in a row without breaking the Salary Cap. We rely on our Rugby knowledge to sign good quality players. Not just signing the "Big Name" at the time we happen to be in the market.

It hasn't done us any harm at all signing what are considered to be "Underwhelming" "No Name" players. We're a squad, so we've signed a squad player. If we were a team built around a star, we'd have signed a star.

As mentioned elsewhere, he's not a "Bums on Seats" singing, but I think he's a great pick-up, and hopefully will be good value for money. I'm willing to put my whole trust and faith in GH & Co. as up to now, they've done nothing at all to suggest I should be doubting their ability to run our club.
