Jordan Lilley : Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:03 am  

Out on loan to Leigh for a month.His face just doesnt seem to fit at Headingley even when they have a few injuries.

Re: Jordan Lilley : Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:08 am  

And yet they gave him a new contract last year.

All very odd.

Re: Jordan Lilley : Wed Mar 07, 2018 11:26 am  

Best thing he can do is leave. He needs to be playing regularly, and a loan here, and a loan there is no good for his development, particularly in his position. If he can't get in after Mcguire & Burrow have retired, when will he get in?

Re: Jordan Lilley : Wed Mar 07, 2018 11:57 am  

would be a super buy for the future for us...

Re: Jordan Lilley : Wed Mar 07, 2018 12:26 pm  

He must surely realise now that he doesn't have a long term future with Leeds. They are playing Joel Moon out of position rather than him in his own specialist position!

He's a bit like Jordan Baldwinson - going out on loan year after year, coming back for the odd game, then going back out on loan - until eventually he has to leave anyway.

The best thing he could do is to ask to leave on a permanent deal and make a fresh start.

Yep, I'd say it's actually detrimental to his playing career staying at Leeds.
He needs to go somewhere where he can play regularly at as high a standard as he can.

I don't think we should be after him though. Keyes isn't that much older and is the better player imo.

Probably at Wakey.

Before this season, I wouldn't have said so. He was learning from likes of McGuire & Burrow, so game time wasn't necessarily the priority. However I can't see he's going to be learning too much from Moon & Myler now and he's surely getting to an age where he needs to be playing more.

It says a lot when one of the halves is injured, they prefer to play Sutcliffe there, who I honestly have never understood how he gets picked week in, week out, never mind in such a pivotal position. He's considered first choice left centre and I don't even think he's the best one at Leeds, Keinhorst looks better to me.

I always thought this season would be the year he finally breaks into the Leeds team and becomes a regular feature. Obviously not at this stage. I'm sure Jordan will use his time at Leigh as another learning opportunity. Leeds must be playing the long game with him. He's still only 21 so there is still plenty of time for him to break into the first team.

If they're not bothered, I'd happily have him back at Odsal.

He isn`t good enough for Wakefield. I am surprised Leigh wanted him on Loan tbh, he would not get in at Fev.
