Forgetting about the cup for a second, once Lilley is available I really hope we put Smith in for Mendeika at centre.

Would be really happy with

Oledzki (if we get him back) or Walker if not




Is Lumb injured?

wasnt walker on a 4 week trial like moore? I'd assumed since we havent heard anything, that trial had ended and we hadnt signed him?.

His stock might've gone up but Leeds don't usually rush young props into the first team, they'll be happy to let him play at Bradford providing we have enough available forwards.

Indeed look how long its taken Baldwinson to get a start after showing up so well at Fev

I hope McDermott decides Oledzki needs a full season with us. The other young props at Leeds have taken their time to come through so this is very much on the cards.

Re: Leeds Loan Players : Wed Mar 15, 2017 5:56 pm  

Anyone know how long Ormondroyd is injured for?
I suspect that once Garbutt and Ormondroyd are back fit, Oledzki will come back to us.

Thats my hope. Using Baldwinson as an example Leeds fans have been going nuts he hasnt had a shot for last couple of years. The same goes for Singleton coming through too

Re: Leeds Loan Players : Wed Mar 15, 2017 7:38 pm  

Oledski to play this week, take his chance and not look back. His physical development is way beyond anything his age + 2 years. He is one of those specimens that don't come around so often can handle games at top level despite his their young age.

Re: Leeds Loan Players : Wed Mar 15, 2017 9:55 pm  

I honestly don't think they will play Oledzki. If he is in their 19 he will most likely be 18th/19th man. Miss this week anyway as he was due to and be back with us next week or the week after.

I played against Baldwinson when I was younger and even then he was destined for SL. Same with Naughton. Yet Baldwinson seems to have taken a very long route to 1st team. He he been part of the Leeds set up in 1999 he would have been in the first team since he was 17. Very much like Chev Walker was at 16. But now people won't put players in young out of fear.

Re: Leeds Loan Players : Thu Mar 16, 2017 7:52 am  

I think we may get him back. If not, then it looks like throwing a teenager into the Bulls side for 3-4 weeks and they are all of a sudden SL quality. He looks great for us but playing against SL players is a different thing and McDermot will know that.
I suspect he would like him to stay with us for the season and give him the odd bench game with them to build him up slowly. What is the point of recalling him and letting him sit in the stand for months on end. I don't think we have seen the back of him but it also doesn't help us if he is now in and out at short notice.

Hopefully, this visa problem is sorted soon and there are a number of signings done but not yet announced.

Can't see this being the case.
Look at how far back we announced the Phoenix signing and his visa still isn't done.
I don't think there are any signings waiting to be announced but that doesn't mean we can't make some going forward.

Sadly, that does seem to be the most likely.

We are getting to the point in the season where clubs may be looking to 'lose' someone in order to bring someone else in, so it does open up more chances of loans or even a proper signing, assuming we've got the cash.
