Dont think we can be serious contenders with a starting pack like that, with Hurrell and Lolohea signed we need to sign two forwards, prop and second row or 2 second rows for me, ward to 13 injury free of course.

L.Briscoe should be given a run outside Hurrell, Hurrell should create some space for him and tie in defenders, the concern could be defence, a savvy attack would try to get Hurrell to bite at a big hit and have a stronger winger hitting Briscoes inside shoulder, but that would take a decent couple of players to execute

This a good signing, I just hope he can stay fit and out of trouble.

He's going to be in for a shock on boxing day

Garbutt would be my first prop on the team sheet.if only he could stay fit he makes a massive difference. Our other props are average at best though, Oledzki will be a top quality player but a few seasons off yet. Back row is old and past it, Ward apart who is class but is in the same boat as Garbutt in that we can't rely on him playing most of a season.

Our greatest problem in the forwards is at prop. Garbutt cannot be relied upon to complete a full season at his weight. None of the others can make sufficient metres and break tackles. Peteru and Oledski show promise but we need another metre maker in the front row.

However I am still not sure who is going to be our playmaker as Myler cannot do it on his own.

We need a few in the pack.

I'd love to see

Peteru Parcell New prop
Ablett new back row
Ward

Then Garbutt,cuthbo,Ferres/ jjb and then Dwyer or utility back on the bench.

I would suggest he is going to have to be that man with Loloheia likely to start with him in the halves and i don't believe he offers a great deal beyond a running threat. It is not beyond him as we saw what he can do playing behind a confident team going forward most of the time in the first few months of the year.I'm hoping he gets the nod for England see how he handles that role at the highest level but playing behind a pack that will give him a chance.

Cuthbertson and Singleton as a starting front row is awful. Zero impact running the ball. Whilst it might cause gnashing of teeth amongst some fans I wouldn't be at all upset if Cuthbertson didn't see out his two year deal and we got a proper, no nonsense forward instead.

Singleton, Parcell, Garbutt
Peteru, New Singning
Ward

Cuthberson, Dwyer, Oledski/ new prop and Smith

Singleton shouldn't be above criticism either. He's 25 and played over 150 games. Like a few others he needs to step up to be in the first choice prop rotation or he'll find himself tumbling down the leagues.

Hurrell will be a great signing. It will mean Liam Sutcliffe will need to beef up and move to the back row if he is to stand any chance of getting in the team.

I’d like us to sign a prop next, has it been announced whether Crosby is staying or leaving? He’s ok but someone better would be ideal if we are to be contenders.

I'm probably in the minority, but I quite like Crosby.

Crosby at Wigan was a pretty decent prop, regularly won collisions and was a solid defender. What happened after that is tragic for him, and I hope he can recapture his previous form. If we believe he can we should give him another year, otherwise we need to be looking for a better replacement.

His attitude whilst on the field has given me enough hope that the better player is still in there, we just need to find him.

I agree.
Worth a punt next season. Not saying he should be 1st choice but definitely would have him in the squad and probably make the 17.

better 4th prop than mullally

Re Hurrell, reading the interview with the Titans coach makes it clear he didn't want him to leave, but also that the whole thing has been done in the last couple of weeks. Given that he was under contract at the Titans I can only think Furner has been directly involved.

Whilst hurrell might not be the most talented player in terms of passing, he'll add to the general level of entertainment for Leeds and Sl as a whole. I hope Lolohea can do the same. Will you get to see the Aus-Tonga test in England?

Yes it’s on sky Saturday morning. Can’t wait to see our new signings!

Now we have two international centres, it’s really interesting what will happen with Sutcliffe. He’s got to be BR bound hasn’t he ?

Hopefully he's nothing more than a squad player or we let him leave

Me too,if he can get back to his 2015 form then he will be very good for us.
I'd definately take Crosby over Mullally

Crosby is a decent prop, he's obviously had a rough time of it over the last few years but it looks like he is wanting to try and kick on from that, I would be more than happy to keep him, seems to have a bit of mongrel about him which we need.

As a neutral I really wasn't happy with his inclusion Wednesday. I know he won't get another go in the England first team but I cannot believe how far backwards he has gone, or should I say hit a wall and not developed. When we had him for a month at the Bulls when we were relegated he was evasive and created plenty from 6. Maybe this utility value has held him back too not being able to nail a spot down. Probably needs to leave Leeds if he has any chance of salvaging a top career

Said it before.

This is a make or break season for sutty. He hasn't nailed down a place in any position he has been tried at.

Furner is Greg chance for him but if he can't nail down a place this season then I think it's best for all that he leaves. He can then find a club at the right level for him and we can promote a promising youngster into the squad in his place.

For the record, I hope next season is the making of him as the constant switching of position has not been helpful for his overall development.

Whikst i agree he hasn't kicked on he has been shifted all over through no fault of his own. Furner needs to either release him or pick him for 1 position & give him at least a full season in that 1 slot.

Agree Mark but then when i think i can't find a slot for him.too small for SR/lock imo and he has a tendency to fall off tackles at times , centres look sown up now as is FB no way he gets a half slot and he has proved to be no more than a stop gap there.i do Furner can find a proper role for him but think he may have to move on at some point soon if he is to kick on in his career.

i have a funny feeling hurrel will start at centre with sutcliffe coming off the bench and Hurrel have some spells in the back row and eventually moving into the back row fulltime at some point during his 3 year stint.

On what basis?
