Best tackle technique at the club.

Yeh agree with that.
His technique is superb.

He’s a good lad and a real trier and his leg tackling would have been ideal in the 70’s where many sides had mobile, hard grafting fairly small second row forwards.
However, when he makes a one man tackle round the legs he has to release immediately, resulting in a very quick play the ball and often leaving him on the ground and helps get the opposition rolling.

I can’t stand all the wrestling stuff but in the modern game I just think he’s too small and limited to be very effective.

As many others have said he’s a good role model and all that and good luck to him but for mine we need others to outplay him this year and claim a regular spot in the 17.

Absolutely. 3-4 years each i would say

L Sutcliffe signed new deal a few weeks ago.
Mclelland is done no way we sign Eastmond if we think Mclelland will make the grade.

Krisleeds is saying no to A Sutcliffe.

I’m expecting big deals for Holroyd and probably Walters. 3-4 years you would think.

Apologies if i misunderstood
A Sutcliffe usss CJ a strange one, looks a useful squad player with utility value, and probably to progress his own career may need to go elsewhere to get a regular starting spot.

For me doesn't look big enough for second row and is probably 5th choice centre. I can see him moving on.

Reminds me alot of Jimmy Keinhorst. Very useful player, but probably just not for us......

Having someone like Donno at the club lifts training standards, and that makes a massive difference too....

I need to see more of A Sutcliffe to form an opinion but I can see Broadbent coming past him into the centres this season, and we are stacked in the back row already. He is a very good defender though - maybe a Donaldson apprentice, who knows.

Broadbent has to do more pace better hands and feet. I just hope Broadbent gets a decent chance at centre. Hurrell from I've read could be out for a few weeks. Apparently he has torn his calf. The article said he's been struggling preseason with it but doesn't say when he tore it. If it's a grade 1 tear then 1 to 2 weeks, grade 2 to 4 to 6 weeks grade 3 to 4 months.

Hurrell's size and conditioning makes this no surprise sadly..

Surely anyone can tear a hamstring regardless of conditioning. Jai Field mightve torn his last night and hes hardly a fatwhack.

Weve certainly had a bad start with the numbers we have out. Hopefully it gives an opportunity to Broadbent but i wouldnt be suprised to see Briscoe and Sutcliffe boys today if halves are Eastmond and Gale.

Cmon Leeds.

Would be a bit odd reading a team sheet with three quarters of Briscoe, Sutcliffe, Sutcliffe, Briscoe...

Odd and worrying.....

Can you see those four up against Grace, Naiqama, Percival and Makinson?

I would think a minimum of 2 years but hopefully longer both should be pack regulars for years.

Yeah true, but increased chances of you are carrying too much timber, and longer recovery times.....

Naiqama was pish v Salford & Percival is biscuit boned.

Only 150k counts but they have to be paid more than 175k, I am fairly sure that if its a home grown player only 100k would count instead of the 150k, for example Sinfield in his playing days

75K according to the Salary cap regulations for home trained.

The resigning of Hurrell is a complex conundrum according to Leeds Live. I like Hurrell but is he a luxury we now don't need. When he signed we were desperate for a centre but now we have Sutcliffe Newman Broadbent and A Sutcliffe. I doubt very much he'll be offered the same big money deal he's on. I am also sure they will be plenty of interest from other clubs as he his box office. It will be interesting to see what Agar and Sinfield decide.

I agree 100%.
