Hopefully we can sort something out then.

What are our SR options atm?

Savelio, Lane, Scott, Griffin, Lovodua, Sao?

If we don't suffer many injuries in pre season and Savelio is for for game 1, then I think we are good to go, it will be later in the season, but hopefully after a pre season the likes of Severs will be ready for a few games.

I still think we will bring in a new forward at some point, it might not be before the season starts, but expect movement as the season develops.

I still think there is a player in both Griffn (awaits certain poster) and Taylor, new coach and last year of contract might bring the best out of them both.

I agree with you to an extent as up until his injury Griffin was one of the better performers in the squad. I do think that a combination of his injury and the way BH operated has certainly had an impact on not just Griffin but the team as a whole. As for Taylor I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank so to speak as since carrying our go forward like he did for a couple of seasons he's been pretty poor and not had a decent injury free run for quite some time now.

Hopefully TS can reinvigorate and rejuvenate the players that seemingly lost their mojo under BH of which there were quite a few.

Lane and Savelio is a decent partnership. I think we'd all like a 3rd option.

Not a massive fan of moving Ligi to SR, but if we signed someone like English that could be an option.

I've been told things about Griffin and how he was towards Hodgson, it's not a great look for him. Hopefully he can find some form if he is staying. Agree that him and Taylor can be good squad players, but I wouldn't be in a rush to renew either of them for 2024

Really surprised that Griffin is still at the club to be honest. The sponsor guy i know told me that Pearson had really had enough of him and his attitude towards the end of last season.

Good move by Leeds to encourage Prior to retire a year early, shame we can't do that with one of our players.

The more you hear about last season and the attitudes within the camp its clear that BH had no authority or control and shows the poor professionalism of some of the squad members.

The best way I had it described to me was that the environment was like a classroom when you had a supply teacher.

For all his faults Reynolds was right when he asked BH to give the squad the 'hairdryer treatment'.
