I’m not hating on the Frawley signing; we clearly need an experienced head and someone to tie us together bc we are an absolute shambles at times.

It all depends on how his signing looks alongside the others.

Clearly this is a very tough recruitment market.

He played 2 seasons for us, 2020 and 2021

This is triggering me.

That is not a squad to get excited about sadly... looking at the top 4 teams currently, not sure who would get a spot in their 17.. and that is the yardstick we should be measuring the squad by.

Having watched this club for 43 years and experienced the bad times (90's especially) to the recent(ish) good years, the way the current club is recruiting is not upto par... a root and branch change is probably needed but won't happen.

Oledzki.

There’s one that would definitely get in the squad of one of the current top 4, because he’s in one of them

not as yet he isn't...

He’s played 95 games for them

He is lucky to get Leeds' starting 17 the way he ha played this season.

I wonder if he needs more surgery or something, he’s been Mr Consistent for years before this season.

Either that or they’ve got his conditioning wrong, or his head isn’t screwed on.

We could do with him rediscovering his England form again next year.

He’s still young for a prop, im sure he’ll regain his form

You would like to think so.

Donaldson and Goudemand...small for backrowers shouldnt be played at prop. It's no wonder we cant get a good platform for the backs when we persist with stupidity.

Goudemand has played prop for us?

To be fair Donno hasn’t played much prop for us at all this year

Only because we had Tet,Walters and Holroyd/Oledski didnt get any big injuries.

I hate the "middles" at prop,it's stupid

Jrrrhinos list had him at prop. That's a silly idea.

You know what im getting at.

I know versatility and cover is important but I always feel that specialist players should play their best position.

I do not know as many Leeds fans as i used to , but i know 6 who will no longer be season ticket holders next year due to this seasons debacle and the recruitment for next season

So what are you on about us persisting with it when it hasn’t been happening?

Being a bit pedantic. My post was about Jrrrhino listing him as a prop and Donaldson being mentioned as back up.
We have in the past been forced into it. we shouldnt be using it as a starting plan

I agree

Fair weather supporters?

Make no mistake, this is a truly diabolical signing, but like others have said, he's here now. Let's see how he goes.

Though the bar is incredibly low, surely he can only be better than what the majority of us think.
