Definitely not. Jordan Lilley was a good , skill full player, but way to slow for his size. Personally think the small players have to have a turn of pace. We’ll see….

Sinfield isn't particularly small.

He left because we didn't want to offer him a contract beyond 2017.

He was by GH - he wouldnt be playing so they insulted him with an offer and suggested he could work in corporate hospitality!!

Who had the last laugh?

Be careful what you wish for - if Smith goes JJB will be in there like a shot - no matter how Smith may be nobody wants that.

Schoey for me, Iestyn not bad either in his absolute pomp. We have been blessed with good Stand offs. We have not had anyone half as good as those or Mcguire last 6 seasons.

While I agree its a big shopping list all in one go.
I'd settle for a top grade FB and a proven organiser at 7.
A centre or winger if possible.
Getting a good 6 would be great,depends on what's available and SC etc

Schofield was a great centre - very average half back. Iestyn on the other hand - the greatest player I saw in a Leeds shirt in the SL era. His body swerve was a thing of beauty
