We already had space before this Eastwood situation. As expressed by GH before season started. Enough to sign a quality player if he becomes available through the season.

By that judgement you must have been looking at something up to £100k. With Eastwoods money now not been used, and the potential that Smith could be released early, we must be looking at upwards to £250k available on the cap.

We already have a better fullback, that some on here are happy to see go unless he accepts peanuts for pay. So why pay for him for much more.

Let's get the rumour mill really wound up.


Sam Burgess for me!!!!

That's the spirit NSF straight in with the big guns and i'll add westerman into the mix!!

We’ve got the world best fullback playing for Leeds TYVM!

hunt can play in many positions

I don't think we actually need him this season.

The emergence of Kirke as a very good player, and the current form of Ablett means we have more than adequate cover in that position should we need it. You can also stick Worral there when he's fit, he's steady away IMO.

And as I aluded to on the other thread. Who of them covers prop when we are short?

As a stop gap (ie a couple of games) Kirke could slot in there, he's a big lad who runs and hits well.

What if its more? all ifs and buts I know, but typical of the modern game these days.

Probably the most sensible contribution to the thread to date.

The days of 18 stone monsters at prop who can do 15 minute spells are numbered. Modern forwards have to be interchangeable, and Sam Burgess is the perfect example.
