Maybe Dagger has told his agent that he doesn’t want to stay here.

He only played tonight after being jabbed up as Lino pulled out yesterday.

With the greatest respect, I'd need more than a random anonymous post to believe that Dagger 'won't talk to us'

I don’t think I’d be overly bothered if he did. He would be more utility/cover. He’s be decent at Championship level ofcourse but I don’t think I’d be too upset if he didn’t sign.

After tonight I think I’d be looking to sign Smith and Pratt for a few years. Lads went well tonight and could be the future of the club.

Although Croft and Kershaw didn’t have the best night I’d be hoping we can sign them both up.

We absolutely need some quality bringing in at halfback, hooker and 13 for next season. A pacey winger who can score try’s would be welcome too.

I thought Croft was awful tonight but even when he plays well he has a similar weakness to Reece Lynne. They're both built like brick sh*****ses but get treated like rag dolls.
Kershaw can go for me and if Shudds are really interested in him I reckon there's still enough in Jermaine McGillvary to take him as a swap for the Championship.

I thought salabio ran hard and I think he’d be worth keeping.
Also, the young forward who came in (schofield) ran in hard - quite impressed with him for a young lad!

I think Schofield is 22/23? So not really young but I agree he went well in the middle. One for some squad depth for 2023 perhaps.

I just don’t know about Salabio. Just not seen enough of him.

Salabio is robust and energetic but also always on the edge of a penalty.
I think he'll go well in Championship.

Schofield looks OK but he's got some development to go. Worth keeping but he isn't quite Eseh yet. But then neither was Eseh before he had a year in Championship.

I'd hardly say Eseh's been amazing this season, quite error prone but certainly has potential.

For his first season as a young prop he was solid. Eseh in his early-mid 20s could be a cracking prop if he develops more physically and continues to improve. Prop is the hardest position for a young lad to break through.

Schofields played 2 years in championship for Dewsbury and has massively improved on the back of it, think he’s a got fit for 2024

Croft and Kershaw’s side had a mare of a night. Not sure who was second row with them but it went to pot. Unopposed almost. Didn’t think our centres were big enough to cope. Just a view

Tanginoa was a bit all over the place.
I know he's a destructive wide runner but while his defense is like this he'll end up playing prop where he can defend straight on.

Not a rumour, but considering the appointing of Powell, and having seen that he is being made available, We could do worse than lure Greg Eden across the common. He's done more individual damage against Trinity in the past few years than any body.

I dont think powells a big fan of eden remember the half time starehe gave him. He then didnt pick him for a while.

I can't count the number of clubs he's been linked with

Do you honestly think that the powers that be would allow Leeds to go down, Slim?

He was clearly playing injured esp the 2nd half where he could not tackle . Like most the key is for him to remain fit.

Seems to be regarded as a done deal that Eden has signed for Fev for next season.

I hear we are after this guy. Looks good...... https://youtu.be/LPuKYps7nSE?si=n-7fttDSbTYsuNiv

Assuming finances allow Personally think we should sign plenty of quota players for 2024 as there are no limits in the championship. Then pick the best of them if we get promoted - worked very well for Leigh

Good shout. They did very well out of that.

Mata'utia, Thornley and McGillvary look like potential new recruits according to Mathew Shaw.

Agree with your post K.We don't just need a team for the Championship,but one that can compete when/if we return to SL.Leigh seem to have laid out the blueprint for just that scenario.

Need to make sure we don’t end up with too many 30-somethings. Need the right balance.
