Immediate affect.

Three out - must be room in the cap now...?

Surely got to be an incoming any day soon?

We've released 3, but we also brought in Crosby and Donaldson, so we probably need to get ride of one or two more in order to bring in an upgraded prop.

The three were released after Crosby and Donaldson signed. With a live cap, we must have been under the cap before the 3 players were released, so have plenty of space now. The only problem is anyone available?

Depends what they were on. Can't imagine ormonroyd was on much but Walters had just signed a new contract and mullally will have been on a few quid. Not sure how much that really adds up to. Also depends how far under we were before those 3 left.

Does feel like a new signing is coming though. I assume we all think it will be a prop

yes its a prop from H.K.R

A former Leeds player?

We could always get another back rower to play prop, or get Sutcliffe to gain 3 stone and try him in another position?

Just Handley to go.....

Is Sutcliffe going to play wing and prop?

Mullally was far from our worst player last year. He was a solid, cheap, hard working squad filler who was clearly a McDermott project but was also a Grand Final winner.

There's little indication so far that the players who have come in and replaced him are any better and his contribution is worthy of acknowledgement.

I posted previously that Brian Mac would be after his favoured signings that were out of favour at the Rhinos once he landed in Canada
Mullally is the first I wouldn't be surprised if he came in for Golding

He may not have been the worst but definitely the most stupid. Repeat bans for use of the knee during a period in which our pack was on its ar$e injury wise was unforgivable. Good decision.

Exactly. Coincidentally I was re-watching the 2017 GF this aft and thinking what a good contribution he made in that game. Not MOTM but in no way out of place or out of his depth. Never really kicked on after that but then again, which of the silver generation has?

Would be good back up as a squad player for quality frontline props. Unfortunately we don’t have quality frontline props.

I don’t even know what front line props are but I wanted to put it in.

Fair play to him for taking the new opportunity. It's a Shame he didn't kick on, I thought he could have been a decent player for us.

I'd expect a new face to come in now the squad has been trimmed

Just Handley to get rid of and that's some good squad trimming.

Will stand out as a good prop in the championship imo and BM knows all about him good luck to him.

Here's hoping something is in the works regarding a prop coming in.

You would think there has to be otherwise why not keep the likes of Mullally as back up even if he plays for Fev most weeks.

As long as they are quality. We already have the squad props really; it’s a starting prop or two we need, ideally in the Walmsley/Hill mould. Or a fit Garbutt.
If we got one decent quality player in this season it would help, maybe another one using Cuthbertson and Parcell’s salary next year...

I’d like to see Parcell perform playing with decent props again. It’d be a shame to have a quality front row but no Parcell. Cuthbertson’s getting on, If one of the two were to go, logic says it’d be him

Yes i agree. Highly unlikely we get a Walmesley Hill type but we are woefully short in the engine room and we certainly need a prop who can churn out some big metres for us. More likely a Garbutt type but that would do for me and i could see us looking a far better team for it.

Agree 100%.

We miss his ability to win penalties from the opposition holding down in the ruck, and his nose for the odd close-range try. I'm disappointed it didn't work for him, and I think he's come under some unfair criticism on this message board too, but perhaps I'm in the minority here. Sure, he didn't produce the goods often enough last year, but I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between him and someone like Singleton. As for the knees in the tackle, it never did Stuart Fielden any harm.

Perhaps they feel he's too much of a distraction with the Vegan cafe stuff, or he didn't impress Sinfield enough at the back end of last season? If Garbutt was shown the door first, it really was only a matter of time for Mullally... Hope it works out for him at Toronto.

I would be expecting a signing soon now - otherwise it's a bit daft to cut the squad back so far at this point in the season. Let's hope it's not another second-rower masquerading as a prop!

I reckon the emergence of Johnson this year (hopefully) into the first team will ease any potential loss of Parcell at season end.

Won’t be surprised if Parcell leaves and King comes in from Featherstone. Lower wage package and I think he’ll be at Leeds next season anyway. I think we will get a big name prop signing.
