Me personally wouldn't have made a move for him

"Club X have signed Player Y
Is he any good?
Why weren't we in for him? What are Leeds playing at?"

Copy/paste.

Average at best don't need to be wasting cap space on him. 3 young props (2 now baldwinson has gone on loan) cuthbertson in and Yates with a shot for this year, need to save cap space and plan to replace JP as best we can no point wasting it on a squad player

I am really getting concerned about next season, every other club is strenghtening, what are we doing!!!. We lost two props who have between them I believe have 10 Grand Final Rings and signed nobody. The side was getting old last year and not good enough. A very poor season ahead I fear.

For me another massive over reaction. Be fearful for 2016 season with so many main stars and half backs finishing or diminishing. This year the props are not a major issue. We have got rid of kirke and bailey, yes they have ten winners rings but they have been gash for some time now. And I assume you missed the signing of cuthbertson. And then we have Yates who seems to be a forgotten man, cuthbertson should be more than an adequate replacement for both bails and kirke

This.

I don't think we'll be brilliant next year but 2016 is the one that worries me unless a completely different approach is taken to player recruitment. Placing all your eggs in the youth system basket is a very dangerous game to play and just because its paid dividends in the past doesn't necessarily mean it is a winning formula ever time.

Just think of how many are going be leaving by 2016 .Its not a longtime and it's scaring me.

Yates is forgotten man because you will not notice him when he takes the field - a signing by GH to try and justify the dual registration fiasco. A poor man's Amour who will make Kirke look like Matt Scott

There will only be 2 leaving for the 2016 season Peacock and Kylie - I can see Peacock signing a one year extension

Maybe, but would prefer to judge him after seeing him play at this level rather than just writing him off before he has even started. Even so cuthbertson signing and the youngsters is a upgrade on kirke and bailey

I also see that McDermott is going to be helping out at Yorkshire Carnegie now that Mercer has been sacked.
So not only does our coach have little support at the Rhinos.
He now takes on extra responsibilities at YC.

Depends Cuthbertson could be another Ben Cross? On Yates I saw him a few times at Hunslet - I rest my case.

Much hype on here about him - I haven't seen anything to justify that, most on here are desperately clinging on to some hope that he is the real deal. We don't appear to have much depth outside of two 37 years, an unknown Aussies and a youngster who has yet to really deliver.

Imagine getting sacked after a run of eight games with two wins.

I suppose this time of year its mostly conditioning work so McDermott will have some free time - shows how seriously GH takes YC!!

I think appointing Mercer in the first place shows that.

Probably struggled to find anyone who wanted to take it on for the money he wanted to play.

I meant the end of 2016 .I should have said who will be here for the start of 2017?

Two years is a long time - a poor season in 2015 and I would feel sure the necessary changes in coaching and players will be in place for 2016. Not to make the top four in 2015 should see some changes in key positions.

I will mean at least 4 5 places to fill and probably more

I can't see Peacock signing. He's already said himself he's retiring, the club have agreed a testimonial match vs Bradford for him, and have agreed to have a patch on the bottom of the home shirt for him.

Didn't we do the same for Barrie McDermotts final season?

Leeds players out of contract at end of the season are L Briscoe, Peacock, Leuluai, Yates, Mulhern, Burrow, McGuire.

burrows and Maguire to Bradford .watch this space

But what about Burrow & McGuire?

How strong is the Featherstone squad? Are Minns, Baldwinson, Foster and Tonks likley to be in the match day 17 week in week out?

Josh McGuire has just been followed by the club Twitter, aswell as him following them back.

24 year old forward, played 111 games for Brisbane.
