Sign everybody off contract up first. Even the ones with lesser ability. Then plug the gaps with other signings/youngsters. Don't register Purtell yet. Sammut/Gale as halfbacks with Southernwood as backup. Stranger/Diskin/O'Brien/Windley as hookers. Need some forwards so we have Manuokafoa, Scruton, McAvoy and Joseph but I would push Langley to prop this year. Bateman/Donaldson at LF. Olbison/Whitehead/Bateman/Murphy at 2nd Row.

Buy Murrell and Fielden. Possibly Adamson who has SL experience.

Windley has been released mate with the whole u19s thing

Re: Rumours 2013 : Fri Sep 14, 2012 3:05 pm  

Is this releasing of players 19 and over a whole SL thing, or just the Bulls.
Did we have any in the U20's or whatever it was really capable of stepping up?

According to the MEN we are linked with Luke Adamson from Salford.

Wouldn't he be non fed trained? We don't have a space (provided Lulia, Purtell, Kearney, L'Estrange and Manuakafoa are signed up).

Luke is English. I have heard nothing about an player coming in. Last rumour i heard was Gale to Castleford. Fielden back to the Bulls seems like something that could happen.

Not finishing bottom looks like the goal for 2013.

I was told Leeds have released all players over 19 without a squad number. There's only a u19 comp next year if i remember right.

Whole of super league. I'm not sure how many over age can play though. If you're not good enough to sign full-time by 19 then you're out...Shocking

Yes, although as a game we have to cut our cloth accordingly.

Curt better get signed up to 19's. Best young fullback at the club tbh. He'll be the sucessor to Kearney I rekon.

Re: Rumours 2013 : Fri Sep 14, 2012 3:24 pm  

Just for the avoidance of doubt - Luke Gale isn't going anywhere.

Omar and Gerry see him as the key pivot to build the side around and also realise that we have a distinct lack of British Super League quality halves to adequately replace, compensate the team with.

Hope that remains the case!
