do we spend the full cap? GH says he always has room for a mid season signing so how can we spend the full cap?

The sooner ZH is confirmed a Cas player the better we need to move on & also time for GH to cut the BS excuses this squad needs quality adding asap.

Is it really? He definitely squeezes players on salary but still we spend up to the cap each year. And Leeds are one of the very few clubs who are still willing to pay sizeable transfer fees when required.

Well right now it's required

Re: Hardaker : Mon Oct 17, 2016 6:20 pm  
If we dont sign a quality HB we are simply planning for another spell in the middle 8s. McGuires not getting any younger or fitter and I cnat see him being any more influential than this season. Lilley hasnt totally convinced me yet either but were risking damaging him by making him carry the team on his own. My fear is that all finances are being focused off the pitch and into the SS development to the detriment of the team. As to Hardaker a fit focused and levelled headed 2015 version would add to any team. The 2016 disruptive influence version will be detrimental to any team in the league

Fact is if Cas do sign Hardaker , their halves and fullback will be vastly superior to anything Leeds can offer , whether Leeds fans want to admit it or not .

Even if you ignore potential off field stuff I don't think Zak is good fit for Cas, completely different style/skill set to Dorn who they've had much success with.

It's really split Cas fans this topic
On one side of the fence will Powell bring that form back that made him into the player you folks got and then brought on further
Or will it be as a few posters have stated upset the culture and ethos Daryl and the coaching staff created.
Many Tigers fans have also thought about Benny Roberts at fullback so he can have a free role. His defending is strong plus he's a left footed kicker or even at 13 so we'd have Gale Chase Roberts and Hardaker going forward
IF Hardaker does come to Cas I've no doubt he'll have more clauses in his contract about behaviour off the field than you can shake a stick at.

Plenty of food for thought

If we don't sign a Half to compensate then I don't think you would find many on here disagreeing with your statement.

Hardaker is a different type of full back to Dorn. However our options at 1 at the moment are Ben Roberts (who was very poor playing there in 2015) and Greg Eden (say no more). Hardaker would be a vast improvement on either of these two at full-back if he can get anywhere near his form before 2016.
I would imagine Ben Roberts will come off the bench and play as our impact hooker and create competition in the halves to keep Chase on his toes. Given Leeds' lack of options in the halves, it wouldn't surprise me to see Roberts move to Leeds in exchange for Hardaker.
However, at the moment it's all rumours - he'll probably sign for Leigh tomorrow.
