I don't think Walker has much of a future at Leeds. He'll have Myler and Hardaker in front if him.

He'd help us out early next season if we ease Trueman back in.

I'm undecided on Simm, but think he'll stay as we were linked with him earlier in the season.

I wonder if Sam Halsall at Wigan could be available. Wigan are after a centre apparently and he was set to join us in loan for magic.

Agreed if you could guarantee an injury hit season then I think we would be ok with Longstaff signing, but think we need another backrower, unless Sao moves there, particularly if Evans keeps improving.

Problem is what we do if Smith plays really well the next few matchs.

I'd be loath to use a quota place on a utility signing.

A specialist second row, centre or hooker if Houghton leaves is more of a priority for me.

Houghton is an odd one. When he was decades younger we’d spell him with Heramia, now he’s older we play him for the full 80. His form woefully dropped off and he looked incapable of passing but his last couple of games he’s looked ok. Worry is I have a feeling some of our players undermine others.

Depends if we carry on with Connor as centre that can roam

Hoy
Swift
Connor
Carlos
Mcintosh
Smith
Trueman

gone quiet on the signings front/rumours....would like to think anyone else coming in is from a club contending the play offs and have asked for no announcements til their season is finished? (suttcliffe for example)

Proctor is linked to a SL club. Does anyone have a quota spot? Can you deregister quota players if they are out for the season?

Linked with Salford on the BBC website. Let them have him.

Just the type of player we should avoid. Past it. Need someone younger and more intelligent!

Has to be for next season as the signing deadline has passed.


I'd be amazed and disappointed if he signed for us, rather stick with what we have. Think the club, will be patient, see how Smith goes, if he isn't an option, could look at Tanginoa or Alvero, depending on who goes down

On another note Catalabs must be tight on the quota, signed 2 new non fed players rumoured to be after another and already have May, Drinkwater, Pearce, Langi and Napa. One of those must be leaving
