Pardon me for asking but where is Oledzki theses days. Simpleton is a shadow of his form self at the moment and we could do with a bit of Size against Catalan...?

I think his form dropped a little and its a lot of pressure to put on a young and relatively inexperienced prop, maybe they are keeping him out of the firing line?

Has he been playing elsewhere?

I like Oledski he’s probably still a bit raw and tries too hard sometimes,
however given the chance he may well turn out to be a much better player than Singleton who has never really fulfilled his early promise.
Let’s get Oledski back in the side soon.

Oledski lacks some aggression on the pitch, given his size. He also has the odd blunder in him. He is extremely young for a first grade prop still though and has plenty of time on his side.

I imagine he’ll make another appearance this year but even so should come back improved for next season.

What would be brilliant is if we could secure safety before the last couple of rounds, and then play some of the young lads who will be pivotal next year, once the pressure is off.

Hope London keep losing, no offence to them.

I would really like to get it wrapped up in the next two games, which is possible. This is for two reasons, 1. My blood pressure and being able to enjoy a few games at the back end of the season. 2. Id like to see some young kids get a run especially Mclleland

yes it would be nice to relax for end of season ,its not the same kind of tension as when we were challenging . I will relieved when season is over

just watched the Catalan v Wire fiasco , how the hell can you blame Child for it. Look carefully and you will see the main culprits, Kenny Edwards who has a screw loose I think ( inciting the crowd ) and Chris Hill trying to referee the game ( also the most undisciplined SL captain ) and the usual grubs Tomkins and McIlorum .Bans for all of them, show some balls RFL for once.

Not the same at all, the tension when challenging for honours is an excited nervous, this is just nervous

its been reported that hes signed for hull kr next year

Link?

His agent says it ain’t so though; we’ll see. Would imagine McLelland will either play for Fev next year or be in our new reserves.

No matter who Catalans get banned, we need to turn up with the right attitude here. I feel with the new signings, we should be able to take the game away from sides like Catalans at home now, if we just turn up and want it enough.

McLelland to Hull KR? they do come out with such rubbish at times do Hull KR fans. They are sat on possibly the best potential half back in the northern hemisphere, and don't even seem to want to push his development. But they believe they will go for ours.

The McLelland to HKR story was put up by Nosey Parker in League Weekly and thus needed to be taken with more than a pinch of salt even before Craig Harrison said he hadn't spoken to HKR.

That fountain of knowledge in reality is a fountain of poop.

Trawl a few sites, put 2 + 2 together to make 9 then add in a splash of made up nonsense and hallelujah a few "rumours" job done.

Confirmed Mclelland 12 month loan only to Hull kr for 2020. seems its a a case of lets see what you can do week in week out for 12 months, if he cannot force himself into the Hull KR side then he is probably finished at Leeds.

Interesting one that, I was looking forward to seeing him get a run - have these season long loans ever worked out for us?

But it must mean we have another half lined up.

Richie Mathers at Warrington, Nick scuton paul mcshane at hull. Mard calderwood went somewhere. so yeah no they have not. suspect he is not developing as we hoped and a year long loan to try and force his way into HUll kr side will tell us if he is good enough or not.

None of those players were on season long loans, which is what he said. They were all on normal loans, and in the case of Mathers and McShane they were not even in the first team squad at the time. I don't think Calderwood was a loan anywhere, but Ablett was a season long loan I think at London and would have been the best example to use.

Where is this confirmed anyway? still have my doubts.

Confirmed where? Link?

Luke Thompson is on 150 games since 18, the Burgess twins have been playing NRL since 20. If big Mick is gonna kick on and be one of our main props we need to play him.

Well he has Tony Smith and Danny McGuire to mentor him ,I think they will bring him on

I get what people are saying if Callum is loaned to HKR about coaching, but what that really says to me is that we believe more in another clubs coaches than in ours when it comes to player development...

Or more likely that he just won't get to platy enough with Leeds. I still think its odd even if we bring in another halfback unless Lui/Myler are willing to play reserve grade.

Briscoe gone for the season with an ACL injury, shame as he's been going OK, the other Briscoe will probably cover for tge rest of the Season, Konrad also a doubt for Friday which is a bigger loss.

RFL disciplinary must have had a busy day as they have usually announced their findings before now, will be interesting how many get cited but Tomkins and McLlorem must surely be out?
