Whats going on?

1 - Waiting for season ticket sales?
2 - Faffing?
3 - GH unable to fall on sword to release and pay off deadweight?
4 - All of the above?

3 mags/burrow/jjb/delaney to name just four. Thanks for the memories but we need to move on. No pace no creatvity and another boring non-event of a season looms. I speak with dozens of rhinos fans weekly and every one of them is thoroughly pi88ed off with lack of recruitment and the constant crap that GH spouts. Just waiting for best squad ever from him now!

Apart from all that the great southstand farewell party should more than make up for any lack of signings

Post game pressers the usual" any injuries ?" " yes Delaney has had a knock on his " whatever" don't know how long he'll be out"

Lucky for us, I get the feeling that we'll have numerous "Last ever game" nights in the SS over the course of the season.

So we lacked leaders last year, and to solve this you want to get rid of all our senior players



Im sure your one of the people who thinks we can bring in Cameron Smith (Aussie one) to be captain or something

No I want rid of the injury rid has-beens. Thank you!

If you think JJB is a has been then I would seriously question what you watched last year. Was one of if not the best, certainly in the pack.

And if your suggesting we should look at more than one year in terms of injury and form etc I'd suggest that theory doesn't work for McGuire, who was excellent in 2015 and then obviously dreadful this year.

Yes the squad needs changes, but IMO a whole squad overhaul would take us nowhere fast, it might work long term, a la Wire, but there will still be growing pains.

Does anyone know if any players have gone in for operations since end of season? In particular thinking of the ones who looked to be playing patched up like Ablett, Delaney, Cuthbertson and McGuire.

signed from sheffield eagles, half back

Leeds have signed Cory Aston from Sheffield on a two year deal.

Anyone seen him play?

Was a tough season last year for Sheffield, had no strong forward pack to play off but he did well, his speed will suit Super League far better than the Championship, developing into a great kicker as well

Is he Mark Aston`s son?

Yes he is so - his father was a pretty good player if the son is of a similar quality then Leeds have signed a good addition to the squad

No way good enough for super league,,
Looks a bit petulant to me as well.
And I really hope you don't loan him to us the name Aston should never be on a fev team sheet again.

bargain bin dipping

Could be a bit of a project signing, but we will see, some good half backs in super league stepped up from championship. Still only 21 and with lilley 19 and sutcliffe 20 these could be our starting halfs for years to come.

We have had an eye on him for a while and so have others, good prospect, there just aren't enough good English halves around so looking at championship is no bad thing.

He looks a similar build to Brierley.
Cheaper option maybe?
Rumour of Zak heading to Giants btw.
Does that mean we go with McGuire and Burrow/Lilley/Aston next year?
If so I think it leaves us weak in defence with nobody moving the team around the park.

Updated for Cory Aston joining the club. Means we now have 25 man squad for SL but Lilley and Hallas remain unsigned (or unannounced).

talking of half backs, we have taken Jack Wray from you guys. Any of you seen him play? Strengths/weaknesses etc?

fair enough mate, we will see.

Ormondroyd, Aston, Wood...can't say i'm all that pumped by the transfer activity thus far.

He's a Hull lad so I guess he's going back home.

Maybe we are bringing him in as cover so we can allow Lilly to go on a full year loan, which would probably develop him more than being in and out of 2 different teams with dual reg
