dont think whitehead will be signing.

Why?

He can't spell his name.

Sporting Life are now strongly linking Chase to Wigan. Hope Rhinos sill have a chance (despite what Middleton Rhino says!) www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... Chase.html

If the Bulls go into admin, all bets are off unless they are immediately sold on as a pre-pack. The administrators will have a duty to get the best deal for the creditors, including realising any saleable assets (e.g. players)

We don't need him and wouldn't address the issues needing to be sorted out in the pack. He would fair no better than what we have already. Behind a beaten pack. Watched SOO today wouldn't mind the NSW props!

The best chance Leeds have with Bradford players is if any players want to stay Yorkshire based. Like Yorkshire teams had an advantage in the chase for Gareth Ellis because that was his preference for family reasons it was rumoured. We won't outbid or offer more salary-wise than a Warrington.

As for Chase, now Wigan know they'll be without both Leuluai AND Finch next season i expect they'll make a much stronger push to sign him than Leeds would, that's if we are considering it all.

Agree....especially about the NSW props

Wouldn't want Chase and i certainly wouldn't pay 300k+ to sign him.
For me we need a destructive prop under 30 without 10yrs slog on his legs and acreative BR ala Big Ali.
Also some structure and definate positions would be greatly welcomed i.e Burrow (7) ,Sinfield(13) ,Mcguire(6) also Webbs replacement should be identified by now and IF he's already at the club get him in the FB shirt NOW.

Agree Rhinoms, they would be my preference of players. BR and prop. Although I would like some of our youth particulary singleton get some game time and dan smith looks a BIG unit.

I think the next 3/4 weeks we will get a indication about our full back for next year.

If you think we will get an indication in next 3/4 weeks who do you think will be our fullback in 2013 ?

I don't know.
I do believe we will promote from within the team, and realisitcally between BJB, Hardaker and smith. I think with Webb out they all may get a shot but I think it's almost like a audition for the part.

So the rumour of us signing David Williams could be accurate
due to a knock on effect from say BJB getting the role?

Could be, although my preference would be Chisholm filling the void left by BJB.
Would quite like hardaker myself to move to the one spot, but just because he moves there he still needs the ability to pass left

It might be tough on Chisholm and maybe 1/2 others but I think we need a combination of a bit of experience plus some youngsters with potential so I would not be against Williams signing. We are world champions and I want us to stay at the top! I agree with your sugggestion of an experienced new prop and second row

Room for Wlliams and Chisholm on the wings IF

we move Hall inside to centre (Hardaker to FB; BJB as the Smith-like-cover at FB/wing and Smith to HKR

)

You do sometimes need experience as well as youth I just feel buying a winger is one of the least important positions on the field, and you can get away more with playing a younger inexperienced winger.
Someone somewhere mentioned Williams might be a good full back also.

I like your suggestion, do we know whether Hull KR would be interested in Smith?

We might need to change his name by deed poll to Greg Ingliss maybe.....

That could be the way we go ferdy should Williams arrive but i'm firmly in the Chisolm camp if we move Bjb to FB.
It might even be an idea to put Zak at 1 with Abbo alternating with Keinhorst at LC until the young lad is settled there if we can't sign anyone else with Roche getting a run in the BR or Ward staying there.
I do believe we have some good options within the squad/Acadamy but like i posted el;sewhere i'd like 2 added to the pack with Kylie ,Hauraki ,Kirke leaving this year and possibly JP depending on the quality of a new signing.

I agree, would prefer Chisholm

I'm a David Williams supporter and think his qualities and experience through internationals and NRL finals will help are young players. Chisolm will get his chance. Gary H is astute and would not be signing Williams if he did not see it improving the team as a whole. Having said that I do agree that a good prop and Ali type second rower are important as well. When's GH going to announce anything?

Signing an average Aussie like Williams would be the end of Chisholm at Leeds. With Hall, Smith and Jones-Bishop already in front of him, adding another to the queue would force him to look elsewhere.
