He`s out-of-contract at the end of the season. As Builth Wells Wire has pointed out, Morgan Smith will be our interchange hooker, for the near future.

Brad needs to focus on his future, good luck to the lad, wherever he ends up playing.

For his own sake he needs to focus on being able to play for longer periods of the game, & improve his fitness.

Genuine gamechanger. A Dwyer firing on all cylinders is a big loss to us, but his head isn't in it anymore, so a move away is best for both player and club.

Best of luck to him. When he came back from London when Higham left, he really lifted the team. Know I wouldn't want to be 10/20 minutes a game for rest of career so only makes sense.

The "Rugby League Mole", who many on here would trust with their house, said this morning that Smith is "in trouble".

Tony or Morgan?

Smith is a common name

For as long as ive casually looked at his ramblings he's got nothing right.....

last year we were definitely sigining "one or the other" from either Jorge Tafua or Kevin Naiquama.... we signed neither....

he should have kept his powder dry as they are both off contract this year... I would have found it more believable then.....

I guess the mole whoever he is is a bit like that ex Manchester evening news reporter he used to go on Salfords board spouting nonsense.

He was comedy gold. I think it is just the Australian effect. You could stick a kangaroos badge on Hemel Stags and folk would described it as the greatest test side of all time!

I think I've had better prediction form than moley and I've been way off recently.

Recently

Brad Dwyer is a great signing for us
I can't believe you've made Morgan Smith into a back up 9,he was always a HB IMO

With his job or with the Police or with his wife?

Nobody has said we've made him our back-up 9. We might sign someone in the Winter

If you say so. lets see if you feel the same way next year.

I read today that Sam Thaiday is not being offered another contract by Wayne Bennett. He's always come across as a tough player and certainly would bring a lot of experience with him, nice fella as well whenever I've seen him interviewed.
At 32 not overly aged we could do worse for a few years.

Thoughts

Jack.

JP I have come to the conclusion that we should assume that any foreign import will take a year to settle in (any less is a bonus) and therefore age is crucial.

Joe Philbin has been very good this year,he could be outstanding next year & with age on his side. Mike Cooper may be much improved next year after his year to settle in.

S...really! he is as average as they come. Great signing...you need to take more water with it chin.

Jamie Peacock was a great signing.

I'm afraid I don't agree. Before he 'fell out' over contract negotiations or whatever it was he was terrific, sometimes better than Daryl Clark for spells. If he rediscovers that form we will miss him.

If "great"= "good" then Chinny has a point.

Michael Monaghan was a great hooker
Mickey Higham was a good hooker
Daryl Clarke can be a great hooker, and is a good hooker.

Brad Dywer is an average hooker.

Well Clark is only 24 so we are not looking for a 'player in waiting', and I don't think Dwyer has that ability. He is a good bench hooker but I wouldn't see him as first choice. So presumably Dwyer has not been re-signed because his wage demands were too high or we thought Morgan Smith was a better option. Either way, is there much to choose between Smith and Dwyer ? Presumably we cant keep them both.

Dwyer is a reasonable interchange hooker with a bit of pace and great defence. His decision making is suspect though. Overall it's not one that has me too disappointed.

Was great in an anytime try scorer acca last year! 4/1 a lot of time and was getting over regularly. Shame to see him dip think a change will be good for him

To clarify, I was saying he was a good signing, as in he will do a job for Leeds as I think a change of scene will do him good.
