Are we really gaining massively by playing Walker over Shaul?
Just doing Leeds a favour by freeing up their salary cap so they can make a signing and overtake us in the league.

Can’t understand why Hodgson doesn’t bring Bowden back at this moment either? Can’t offer less than Taylor, but he’s intent on freezing him out.

All seems shambolic to me.

Attitude and effort, and a splash of professionalism.

I hope all 3 loan signings are to replace the senior shirkers

Raynor and Carvell weren’t signed on loan though.

I don’t have a problem with bringing others in, just query the sense in bringing Walker in, when Shaul although not great, can still do a job for now. The cap space could have been spent elsewhere, maybe to help out the burden on Sao and Satae.

Walker "promising" can barely get a game at a average leeds side

Myler is OK at full back but nothing special

Yeah, imagine not being good enough to play for Leeds while you are out for a year with a torn hamstring and a broken foot.

I dont think we should be signing anyone who can't outperform Richie Myler while on crutches.

I'd certainly feel more confident with Jack Walker at full back than Shaul or McIntosh. Has looked promising when I've seen him for Leeds.

I take IH's point though. If it's just for a couple of weeks just give Litten a game instead.

So much for Pearsons article today in HDM backing Hull Fc youth Players
As you say if its only for a couple of weeks then give the Hull lads a game
Shows how desperate the club is for a win on Saturday.
Another big score loss and Pearson will definitely do the after match interview a la Radford

Halsall is a physical thing. He may be seen as more ready than chucking Litten/Barron in for 6 weeks.

Barron is a big lad 6ft 3" and fast.Could do to bulk out a bit more but we need a lot more speed in this team rather than incredible hulks

Barron was poor for Whitehaven, how is he gonna be stepping to a Derby at Magic Weekend?

I'd assume that Walker is going to be for the rest of the season. Leeds have Myler and Hardaker and I reckon they will be looking to add a player.

With Connor out and Shaul not being up to the job it makes sense to sign long term cover. Litten could play a couple of games but it would be a big ask for him to do all of them. Walker is a good signing. Hard to admit that any Leeds player is decent but he has impressed me in the past.

HDM says Halsall isn't coming. But Simm to cover centre would be a bit of a blow to Walker. I thought he would be a due an outing soon.

You thought that Halsall and Simm are more physically developed than Barron?

Which is why they are being brought in

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Tue Jul 05, 2022 2:34 pm  

Dear oh dear we are trying our best to bring in players to help us out. Maybe just maybe some not all our youngsters not ready to take the step up. Just a thought

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Tue Jul 05, 2022 2:41 pm  

We need players that are SL ready now for the next month or so, not potentially might be ok for SL, correct decision by the club IMO
