You'd assume with Myler,Olpherts gone and Donaldson + fusitua going we can afford what we need. More if Martin chooses to leave.

If we aren't already looking at a short list fir prop and wing then we aren't being prepared

Frawley made some poor moves but hardly alone in that.

Hes no world beater but I think given how little Sezar offered and how much will have been used to pay/ sign Croft, Ackers, Miller, Mom and upgrade Newman etc it's not surprising.
By the end of his deal Sinfield etc will hopefully be looking more prepared to take over

Part of Frawleys remit will be to mentor Sinfield, Apparently Frawley is really good at that and is predicted to be a decent head coach in the future.

I hope to be proved wrong on both players. I don’t think Momirosvki has played much of a part in Handleys tries. Maybe one where he passed to him.

There is still some chaff to be cut from the squad, and I think we are still 3 quality players short of a great side. A back and 2 forwards. Defo missing a quality replacement/ backup for Fusitua and a couple of hard running forwards.

I know as the pitches form up we should get better but you have to be good in all weathers.

Its the partnership that has helped handley, how they defend and attack together. I bet if you asked Ash hed credit Mom.

The squad was never going to fixed in one off season and I don’t think even the most miserable of Leeds fans can say we recruited badly in the off season.

Your talking mg as if we've been bad in the rubbish weather, we haven’t far from it.

I actually like parts of Frawley’s game; but I’m not sold on the “he wasn’t the only one” argument I’ve heard a couple of times recently. A Leeds #7 should be a really strong player in his own right, able to turn matches. I haven’t given up on Frawley like I said he has qualities; but he has to be finding better kicks out of hand if he’s going to be our main field kicker.

Sinfield big area for improvement is his D I think.

Problem is that most of our competitors in the top half of the table will get better on firmer grounds too.

A poor man's Lee Briers then who by the way of talent was streets ahead of Frawley and is doing the same as a coach and he's British.

The problem on here is some are over critical whilst others get a bit carried away , so far I can see a little in Frawley that will see him as far more consistent than Seizer whilst less talented , Mom has disappointed me so far but I am happy to give him time , he does seem to lack pace though .

We hear this ‘we’ll be ok on firmer grounds’ things a lot. Heard it last season. Were we? We need to perform now or we’ll be out of CC.

And we might win on Friday. You’re talking as if we’re playing like Hull FC.

Last two years weve had the worst possible draws in the first round of the CC if we lose it’s hardly like getting knocked out by Bradford

You need to get yourself to a game, Shabs. You went last season as I recall, and came away waxing lyrical about Sezer and Austin. Might help restore the faith that one televised match has so obviously obliterated. Another defeat and you'll be starting a "bring back Zak" petition.

we’d be a better team with Zak, Watkins, Hall in it now! Add Parcell off bench

Will be going to a few mate. I’ll enjoy it for sure, regardless of result!!!!

Good for you.

Bring back Segeyaro was Shabs’ best

You are clueless mate, but we love the optimism and fact it gets you away from the mad world for a while

Am pleased to have a good laugh on here mate. We’re a good bunch. Not enough traffic on this site imho. How about this, I’ll let you know when I’m coming and will buy you a half time pint?

You have a fantastically messed up view of the world if you think how NRL clubs rated them is a useful way of judging a player coming from there to Leeds. Based on the last 30 years it's almost an inverse correlation.
