| Callum moved from Cas to RU last season for a decent fee.
Cas were open to taking him back as he’s highly rated by Powell. However, his agent met with Jon Wells and asked for the kind of money you’d expect to pay a proven SL player. Both us and Warrington told him where to go.

| Really excellent prospect with all the stand off skills. Can put others into space and can go the length of the field to score himself. Was England RL junior captain and has since played for Scotland RU U/20s at fly half. I don’t think he kicks goals but has fair out of hand kicking game.

McLellland was very highly rated by Powell and Pete Riding (who is now at Warrington). Harrison thought he could play on this to ask for silly money.
No doubt that he’s a very exciting young player. But he’s not in a position to demand the kind of money he was asking (yet). He also wouldn’t get near Gale or Trueman at the moment and at the age he’s at, with no reserve team, I’m not sure where he’d play other than on dual reg or loan.

The big difference is that both Cas and Warrington do not need another stand off. We are desperate for one. I think he started as a 7 so could cover both half back positions for us.

| I certainly wouldn't want to bet everything on a kid who's never played first grade. But if he is good enough he'll get into the team, and this year has shown every team needs at least three who are capable there. This year we've had one and a bunch of numpties.

Warrington told him nothing of the sort, and were very very keen. Not heard on the Cas stance, so can’t comment.

| I wouldn't be surprised if he's had better coaching in skills in RU than he would have if he'd stayed in RL. We used to be way ahead in basic skills as a sport, now I'm not so sure.

He learnt his basic skills in mini junior RU then joined Lock Lane around 13 and then Cas Academy. In RU the fly half is the key pivotal position so he will have good experience of game management. We needed cover at halfback and this lad can develop into a star of the near future

When you talk about junior RU though, it really doesn’t teach that great, more about togetherness. When you talk about someone only looking good at juniors because they are big, never is this more true than union juniors. They play out of their own age groups, and can actually play and do, below age.
That said this kid got his skills somewhere, because skills wise he is quite an exciting player, with a good brain.

Have to disagree with you. Union mini and junior development is usually well planned and structured and concentrates on basic skills with no contact in the early years. It is well financed and brings large numbers of kids into the world of rugby. Of course it is not without its faults but in my experience age groups are well policed at least in England.
I do agree with you about this youngster who looks to have the class to make it to the top and would not be out of place in our first team right now.

I believe so yes, can McLelland still play academy rugby? If not we’d better hope Featherstone will play him or he’s going to be unable to play any Rugby League.

I have a hunch that Lolohea will start at full back

According to some. one fullback is crap and not Leeds standard, the other is probable 1-2 years of being good enough to be a regular starter and needs spelling more and is injury prone.

How is walker not good enough for the first team standard when this year he has probably been consistently one of the stronger/ more dangerous players in the team?

No he did not. He played RL from a lot younger than this. He did have a spell in RU but after he had started in RL. He was also a very good footballer.
Good signing for Leeds as he was regarded very highly in Scottish RU.

So why is he leaving - his earning potential is much higher in RU than it ever will be in RL.
Is he managed by SMTM?
