Great singing for us plenty of selection next season just hope we can land a decent and experience half back for next season or 2017. Well done Leeds

If we get lucky next year and have less long term injuries / can get 1-17 out most games I think we will be a fun team to watch and a hard one to beat.

Anyone who as a 19 year-old takes a swing at then Kangaroo prop Jason Ryles deserves a bit of credit for having guts if nothing else

Rubbish,according to one "expert" on TRL.

Much better signing than I was thinking we'd get. Maybe those oft-criticised trips to Australia by Hetherington are actually worth it after all.

As mentioned only the halves need looking at now but the way McGuire is playing this year there's no reason we can't get another couple of years out of him. If the rumours about Brierley are true then it seems Uncle Gary is well and truly back on form.

Now that is a signing - 100% effort guy you have to congratulate Gary on a very good piece of business.

Mac was asked if this was a Marquee signing he said No

Was actually hoping we were going to sign one more forward. We went with a small squad this year and have barely been able to name a 19 at times so addressing one of our issues from this year (squad size/depth) is spot on. Yates and Walters seem to get picked in the 17 not because of the coach wanting to play them but because he doesn't really have anyone else to pick.

It seems almost inevitable nowadays that teams will have decent sized injury lists for a chunk of the year so let's have plenty to pick from. Also means you can rotate one guy out easiler when you want to rest him.

If the Widdop (or even the Brierly) rumour became true then we'd really be looking in great shape.

thats 4 props signed in not much more than a season, garbutt mullaly cuthbertson and now galloway. like for like thats pretty good for peacock Kylie kirke and bailey over that period. Peacock was always going to be all but impossible to replace but were having a pretty good stab at it. The back row is looking good and Keinhorsts emergence in the back row is a nice bonus - I think hell be asked to bulk up a little in the off season. add one halfback which I'm guessing where the marquee budget is going (wink) and our squad will look as good as it has for a long time.

Brilliant signing for you guys. You've got yourself a very good set of props for 2016.

You don't have a small squad, you might not have 25 international class players, but no team does. All teams have had to blood youngsters or average players - Saints, Wigan, Wire, Hudds are no different. That's what the salary cap does.

I'd agree with that.

You're right we can't look for a "replacement" for Peacock, he's a one-off who've been lucky to have at our club for so long.
But I think the balance of the 2016 4 props of Galloway, Cuthbertson, Singleton & Garbutt is at least equal if not better than the 2014 4 props of Peacock, Leuluai, Kirke & Bailey.

Having said that, Peacock and Leuluai have both been outstanding for Leeds over the years. Peacock with his huge, high quality efforts and Leuluai for his huge runs and hits.

Galloway and garbutt at prop and cuthbetson at LF means we can go with two wide running second rows, ward and keinhorst, with Achurch able to play wide as well. Leaves Delaney singo and mullally bench cover

Yates has signed for Wakefield until the end of next season

Yates gone to Wakey wish him well but i would have been surprised had he been retained.

why do you hate Ablett?

Given the amount of beards in the Leeds pack, do I forsee a market for 'Life Of Brian' style fake beards next season?

yes, he hasn't let us down on his rare run outs for us but with the signings we have made, Baldwinson to return, and Mulhern also looking ready for game time it would be hard to see an opening for him barring a big injury crisis.

Wonder if this move of an average British player moving to wakey and blocking their great production line, rather than an NRL one will incite the Pro licencing brigade

I don't he's a class player. The comments were just generalising the we can use our second rows out wider with a stronger front row, ablett obviously fits in to the wider runner cat, and baring injuries is probably a starter.

Indeed a vid to lift the spirits.

As has been said already....optimistic exciting times ahead.

Credit to all involved. Next year's pack is looking healthy with a nice blend of formidable and skilfull. Cuthbo to LF of course.

Again all those with supposed entreated 'inside info' have been broadsided !!!

Roll on the signing of Jonathan Thurston (or [ithat other slightly better known[/i Cameron Smith)

Saints have signed a guy called Dominique Peyroux from the NZ Warriors.

Those of you on here who follow the NRL closely, is it a good signing for them or a bit of a 'meh' addition?

He's not somebody I've seen too much of.

Without a doubt!

I reckon there are a couple of guys on the other side of the Pennines who will be feeling the wrath of Big Red's mongrel attitude.

Certainly looked impressive in that vid, and having two ball handling props will suit our style of play down to the ground
