He one of the highest paid players at the club aswell as a OQ quota spot.

It's too early at this for week in week out but I'm a big fan of Corey and he is the answer to out number 9 issues long term.

Super young player.

That's a year

Is Fensom still happening?

A decent write up of Konrad Hurrell by Andew Voss in one of this week's trades papers. The new Barba of SL apparently

Any link?

League express still believe it’s a done deal. Pete Smith thinks otherwise.

It’s almost as if somebody’s made it up for attention

This is what off-seasons should be like - wild speculation fuelled by gossip being presented as facts. I've missed chaotic off seasons.

Just on the 1,6 7 roles, assuming Myler is 7 and Lolohea gets properly fit, it will all come down to which of Walker and McClelland take their chances and which combination worlks best. Lolohea was probably signed as the new 6, but things change, and Furner will have his own views. At least the signing of Hurrell has quieted the idea of playing Lolohea in the centres.

Interestingly, when walker was stalling on signing a contract last year want that partly because the club saw him as a future halfback, and he saw himself as a fullback. Maybe he's being groomed for that role and may switch in there at points in a game or over the season

Whether its Walker from full back or McClelland from 6 we'll need someone else to help out in the playmaking/game management side of things (and kicking probably). Its not a strength of Myler or Lolohea.

On the YouTube videos of McClelland his agents (showmethemoney) list him as a halfback or hooker...so that may be another option at 9

With the permanent edition of Crosby. Currently looking going by rumours at Cuthbertson, Singleton, Crosby, Oledzki, Peteru, ????. With Holroyd, Smith, Dupree, McConnell, Mustapha backing up.

Expect to see the signing of Drinkwater within 48 hours, he's signed for you lot.

How do you know this ?

Not if Furner is no longer coming he isn’t.

IMO we’ve no need for him even if Furner comes. Not for the reported money he’s after

I may just have been baited but this rumour is sticking around.

I just don't see why we would sign another Hb when we have already signed two and are in need of forwards.

Just don't see this happening.

I can see the point of Drinkwater as we still need a game manager. His signing turned around the season for Catalan and together with Myler and with the play maker skills of McLelland as cover and we should make a bad full of chances for Lolohea, Hurrell and Watkins every game.

Lolohea has pace, great feet and a good oddload and is a really good addition but he is not a play maker and the lack of one has been our greatest problem since Sinfield left.

Lolohea also plays fullback where he could make the same impact on SL as Barba did for Saints and this would take the pressure off Walker who can still get some game time as he matures physically.

I think that would be a good plan.
Having good cover for full back and half back next year would make a nice change.

Just hope we have another prop coming in if Garbutt leaves

Lolohea speficially said in his interviews that he was coming to Leeds because his chances at halves were limited and was excited at the prospect of playing more in the halves. I just don’t get the signing of Drinkwater at all, if it happens

Is myler leaving ? XD

Lolohea may want to play in the halves, but he's not a game manager. Neither is Myler. There's a reason he never got a game there for the Tigers and was playing full back in reserve grade (his lack of fitness helps explain why he didn't get a first grade game there either).

It is understood several current first team squad members – including Ashton Golding, Adam Cuthbertson, Matt Parcell, Anthony Mullally, Mitch Garbutt, Jack Ormondroyd and Josh Walters – would be allowed to leave if another club came in for them.

So Mullally, Walters and Ormondroyd do have new deals then.

Yet more none news or 'news' with little basis.

Of course we are looking to offload players. We were rubbish last season and changes are needed.

I would suggest 75% of our squad are probably available if people are interested. Those names mentioned are just plucked off the wider Twitter/Facebook rumour mill.

It's fine to speculate, it's fun, but just don't believe it until Leeds confirm it.
