Whether its Walker from full back or McClelland from 6 we'll need someone else to help out in the playmaking/game management side of things (and kicking probably). Its not a strength of Myler or Lolohea.

On the YouTube videos of McClelland his agents (showmethemoney) list him as a halfback or hooker...so that may be another option at 9

With the permanent edition of Crosby. Currently looking going by rumours at Cuthbertson, Singleton, Crosby, Oledzki, Peteru, ????. With Holroyd, Smith, Dupree, McConnell, Mustapha backing up.

Expect to see the signing of Drinkwater within 48 hours, he's signed for you lot.

Not if Furner is no longer coming he isn’t.

IMO we’ve no need for him even if Furner comes. Not for the reported money he’s after

I may just have been baited but this rumour is sticking around.

I just don't see why we would sign another Hb when we have already signed two and are in need of forwards.

Just don't see this happening.

I can see the point of Drinkwater as we still need a game manager. His signing turned around the season for Catalan and together with Myler and with the play maker skills of McLelland as cover and we should make a bad full of chances for Lolohea, Hurrell and Watkins every game.

Lolohea has pace, great feet and a good oddload and is a really good addition but he is not a play maker and the lack of one has been our greatest problem since Sinfield left.

Lolohea also plays fullback where he could make the same impact on SL as Barba did for Saints and this would take the pressure off Walker who can still get some game time as he matures physically.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Wed Oct 24, 2018 10:25 pm  

I think that would be a good plan.
Having good cover for full back and half back next year would make a nice change.

Just hope we have another prop coming in if Garbutt leaves

Lolohea speficially said in his interviews that he was coming to Leeds because his chances at halves were limited and was excited at the prospect of playing more in the halves. I just don’t get the signing of Drinkwater at all, if it happens
