Are we gonna pay him in midget gems? Almost said peanuts, but in the modern world I was not sure how that would be interpreted!

So far Leeds have said Walker "could" miss the entire season which would mean we couldnt spply cap exemption as he may return later in the season.

Releasing Iwan Stephens was a big mistake in my opinion, he was far better than Liam Tindall.

Yeah ive seen that

We managed for most of last season without Walker and I seem to think he missed a slice of the season before that.
I would keep Myler at FB as he was woeful in the halves and hope McLelland is fit to partner someone like Sutcliffe which is not ideal but only means one player out of position based on last years performance.
Ironically Golding who was deemed inferior to Walker is also going to miss a few months of the season at Huddersfield.
It`s a shame for Lui too as I was hoping for a big season from him this year after he lost some weight and looks to be fitter.

Jason Davidson reckons Gale and Newman will be fit for round one, he then says don't hold me to it but says both coming on nicely. He says they won't rush Newman but Gale knows his body and is flying.Interview Leeds Live.

Some encouraging news after some bad news last week.
With Eastmond signing too, will be a very interesting season.....

Incredible work from the S&C staff to get them to this point.

I think we will have to expect a fairly disjointed feel to the side early doors. With Gale limited in skills training (I assume) and Eastmond returning from RU, it may take our halves a month or so to begin to click.

I'm assuming Myler will be at fullback from the start of the season?

Players like Gale will slot straight back in, no problem. Experienced enough and knows what systems we play. Will bring Eastmond or Mclelland along no end too....
