I think we need new blood in the forwards sooner rather than later so would not be against muti player swap plus cash for Aiton and Kirmond.

Isn't kirmond a backrower?

For the love of god we need a prop.

Reading the interviews from GH and the Coach both saying they have told Bjb on more than 1 occasion they WANT him to stay indicates imo he will be off!

It indicates he isn't happy. If a deal was already struck (like we heard back in April) then it probably would've been announced. The season is already over and Wire have announced Penny to return in the backs and a Featherstone forward to arrive.......yet no announcement on BJB.....it might still happen but clearly it isn't as clear cut as some made out it to be 5 months ago.

Haggling over his release terms between the clubs??

Isn't there a picture on the leeds rhinos Facebook page showing kirmond sat at a table with Brian noble at Salford ?

Yeah the undertones are that BJB wants to play full-back.

For me he's a much stronger winger than fullback.

Considering Huddersfield have been pretty proactive in strengthening a team that already finished top of the regular rounds last year, I am surprised there have been no enquiries from them for BJB, especially considering fullback is their main glaring weakness for me.

I remain unconvinced by Murphy, so wouldn't be that much of a surprise.

i remain unconvinced by Grix also. A poor mans Richie Mathers.

Heard this happened a while ago.....goes to show that signing and announcing are two seperate events....so lets wait and see what else comes around..... Chisholm should have got at least a couple of 1st team games last year....replacing a backpacking winger.!

Agreed. Been saying it all season, Huddersfield desperately need a genuine fullback.

Could not agree more......perhaps Leeds could exchange BJB for Lunt?

Now that suggestion I do like.
Not often that I agree with NE's musings but on this occasion I do.

If BJB wants to leave if he can play fullback then GH has a strong hand in a player exchange deal. Lunt would be good but what about the exchange for Paul Aiton? I read on twitter that Poore is homesick and is talking to a couple of Ausi clubs so I assume will not be joining us!

I fail to see many similarities. Grix plays to the full extent of his limited capabilities, Mathers plays well within his extensive talents. A waste of a potentially great player.

Jamel Chisholm had two things holding him back from being a SL winger.

Can't catch and can't tackle.

Apart from that, he's got everything you need. He'll go well in a team that is one of the best at that level.

I don't follow your logic. He's obviously not deemed good enough for SL, so why should he have been given a few games.

And Vickery was.....just saying would have been good to see him given a couple games that is all, but thanks for your feedback

BJB for Aiton + a lot more......these two don't compare in value to a team, BJB is proven top level, Aiton no

I'd much rather we offered BJB to Huddersfield in exchange for Lunt.

The problem with the "exchange BJB for Lunt" thing is, nobody knows if Hudds even want a FB. This only came about because Gotcha said he remains unconvinced by Grix, Anderson may well be very happy with his current FB.

And that is what might hamper a move away from Headingley for BJB, his insistence to play FB. If he was happy to play wing then I'm sure others would be more than happy to bid for him......BJB as FB though, if I was a coach in SL I wouldn't be as sure about that.

Big of a convoluted tale but my mate said he was speaking to someone who has a very good source close to the team who said BJB is speaking to Salford. Not nailed on but speaking to them got it 3rd hand at least but you never know. Milk mr cukash for some big bucks and buy a quality hooker.

Aiton is worth far more to Wakefield than BJB is. Aiton could be deadly in a team like Leeds but to let one of our toughest, hardest tackler and one of the best attacking asset we have by a country mile go in exchange for BJB would be silly from a Wakey perspective.

We don't have much in the way of classy players at wakefield and worth some coin but in Collis, Aiton and Kirmond we have players that would add to any team in SL.
