Jeferies is an average player, nothing special, whereas he may not be on much, hes an overseas player, do we look to the here and now or the future?
Whereas the reserve players may not be ready yet, when are they? If we resign jefferies its just another yr that they aint gonna get any game time, then another, then another, some reserve players are already wishing they didnt resign and was elsewhere, you gott athrow them in eventually.
When did wigan think that tomkins was ready, or ainscough, when did leeds think mcguire, hall kirke etc was ready, when did cas think westerman, shenton owen etc were ready, they same age as some of our reserves, if they aint gonna get any game time they may never be ready.

And who's going to replace Jeffries from the reserves? Before you say Sykes, he can do a job there but he is far better in the centres.

Colton wray, could step up, not all time, but with him, sykes and rinaldi it can be covered, crookes can cover centre if sykes at s/o, langley can go to hooker to give godwin a breather if rinaldi at s/o. Halley can jump into dummy half from wing etc.

As you can see I don't often post on here.

Prefer to read the usual sensible opinions of fellow fans.

This thread has a real sense of bad timing around it.

A few weeks ago is was all doom and gloom for good reason but seen as we have now won back to back games while played our best rugby of the year it seems like a pointless time to start talking about next year and who will be leaving.

However

If Lynch wants to go let him. He is still a great player for us but he turns the wrong side of 30 this year and I know we have high hopes for Crossley.

I though Tadulala was brilliant on Saturday. Looked good when ever he touched the ball.

Jefferies has really turned the corner this year and if he can keep it up will get a new contract.

Same with Newton and Cook.

Solomona is probably a goner.

As for Menzies and Morrison getting such long deals the guy is dreaming.

Give them both one more.

I think Menzies is looking at 1 yr to finish off and Morro with 2 yr to finish off.

Where did i say give them long term deals, i said for next year, not for future generations.

Oh looking back can see where u miss understood it..it meant overseas players ie nero 1, menzies 2, morro 3, rinaldi 4, not length of deals, how many overseas we have.

Ah my mistake.

Menzies said on Sat that he should be here next year as well, I hope Morrison stays as well.

Surely we would look to resign Newton and save that quota spot used on Rinaldi?

Won't be here next year.

Well then thats another one after crossley who they peed off my not playing them then.

Where's he off red?

I've heard Hunslet.

We're talking about the same person right?



Just to clear up, which player are you talking about

Who are you on about.

I thought you were talking about Halley.

Oh Wray? I see

I would have Lockyer for a season or two, to cover Stand off and FB.

Your completely deluded - I don't think you understand the game at all - u talk about these players like they are better then Ben Jeffries - I am beginning to wonder if your jokin

He isn't ready yet, cause he will b here next season u plonker, they don t spit the dummy out and just quite if they dont play

I will back you up fella. I have heard a lot from you in advance.

And the irony of !Ryan! saying anyone knows nothing about the game is not lost on me.

Even though I don't think SO is BJs natural position he was the best in MM weekend.

Can you read? I didnt say crossley wouldnt be here next season..reddie said wray wont be..crossley is peed off about not playing..if u knew him u`d know his brother..brothers talk..they talk to there coaches..coaches talk to each other..coaches talk to refs etc..seen as i used to coach and now ref of course i know what im on about..if i didnt i wouldnt be able to ref/coach.

Ask m.e if i know what im on about or rhinoms on leeds board etc..i told him about peacock resigning 2 months before it came out..and webb...matt101 knew about crossley as well..crossley was gonna leave over his deal before they upped it..i knew and told m.e...matt also knew..heck even tiger beer didnt know and she gets told everything by mr duffy.

Some people get told stuff and let a bit out now and then..others just see whats in front of them and think everythings rosy..now and then take ur head out of sand and sniff the air..u`d be surprised whats out there when u know where to sniff.

Oh right i miss read your post, i would be very shocked if crossley didn't sign a new deal

Lol, crossley signed a new deal last season, was promised he would be in 19man squad 3 times already this yr, but hasnt been, he`s aggrieved that if he had of gone to huddersfield etc instead where he was gonna go, then he would be playing consistently by now, he feels as though he`s been sold short as had loads of offers on tables but his heart was firstly playing rugby and secondly on bradford, he thought he could get that at bradford with maccas " I`ll only play players on form, fully fit" quote, but alas he hasnt and its affected his confidence badly, to point where he wishes he wasnt here anymore.
