Surely Hudson is not a major signing although I must admit I know nothing about him.

If we could just manage another hard hitting beasty prop, in addition to Hudson, I'd be prepared to lose a couple of other fringe players to make room...

I expect Mik, Tom, Sam and Justin to play well next season but I do think we'd look much better with another metre-making awkward thing down the middle. In fact to the point where I'd be feeling quite cocky about our chances in 2024.

Our second rowers tend to be mobile grafters so our props need to provide mass.

Said it already but I really think this signing spree represents Leeds finally turning the corner. We need some luck with injuries like anyone, but this squad now has a vein of quality running through it again. I reckon we just need one or two graduating from the academy system each year and we're looking pretty rosy again. Quality breeds quality: we're already seeing how much more attractive Leeds is to players as soon as we look like we're competitive again. That feeds through into the young players too, being around top class players.

Surely we don't have enough cap space for another major signing.So I would think it has to be Hudson.

Don’t know what all the fuss is about Donaldson. In a strong team /squad you always needs players that are not stars. Donaldson is a great professional. He knows he is not a star and will not start every week. In fact not likely to start much at all and probably not even on the bench but when needed puts his head down and will do a job without complaining.
Don’t forget it’s a salary cap sport. We will probably have to wait until 2025 and I for one can do that.

Should have said.
Wait until 2025 for another big line busting prop

The team we have now should be able to compete in the top half of the table I’d say. Whether we have enough to challenge the top depends on lots of variables, including how RS can organise the side.

Some players need to work on their conditioning hard in pre-season but to be fair, several players didn’t get much of a pre-season last year due to carrying injuries/surgery.

A lot of players were also playing in the world cup last year which didn’t help with pre season.

Will be interesting to see when all the OS signings arrive

Croft is also going back to Aus for a break, not sure when he’s due back though.

I reckon GH will want a strong team out for Boxing Day to get a decent crowd in, I wonder if we’ll still be playing Wakey?
