What were the rumours about Walter's the other week? He can be seen in the background of the JJB pic halfway down this article training in the snow last week. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yorksh ... 0397%3famp

Dont think its reached its conclusion yet but there is no issue between Sam and the club.

Only decent NRL free agent left : Wed Jan 13, 2021 3:28 pm  

I know we'd prefer replacing Ava like for like, but if we can upgrade another position, we should do it, right?

I watched a lot of NRL during the first lockdown, and whilst I've supported Gold Coast since their introduction with Richie Mathers in 2007, I found a soft spot for Manly, and their never give up attitude.

They've released their Hooker Danny Levi. I think he's better than what we have and we've an overseas spot open.

I don't see O'Connor playing this year anyway, so comments!

Re: Only decent NRL free agent left : Wed Jan 13, 2021 4:43 pm  

Levi is a good player but not what we need would be a waste of a quota spot we already have 2 decent hookers imo with Leeming and Dwyer, are they James Roby or Daryl Clark level probably not but both still good Super League hookers and both got plenty of age and running legs left in them at the age of 25 and 27 respectively. Think the Leeming and Dwyer combo could be good for us we didn't really get to see full glimpse of if last season with Leeming missing start of year with injury and then the season being up and down due too covid. Hopefully when 2021 season kicks off their both fit to play and we can see them put in good performance for club. I'd definitely save our quota spot for the right player which should be a big prop if they come available or we can't find one on British soil.

Re: Only decent NRL free agent left : Wed Jan 13, 2021 4:50 pm  

Yes I'd be keeping our hookers. Want to see more from Leeming, but what he does bring is physical presence in the middle, and if we can get other big guys in there our pack will be pretty hard to handle.

Dwyer - I dunno. Rocks and diamonds isn't he? Brilliant when he's good, but distribution not good enough for a title-ambitious club like Leeds for me.

Having said that any hooker would benefit from us getting our additional prop sorted out!

Re: Only decent NRL free agent left : Wed Jan 13, 2021 5:21 pm  

Not for me as we have two 9's and Leeming I think will turn out to be a very good signing. It also doesn't make financial sense to have 3 players for one position. I would rather wait for a quality prop to become available.

Re: Only decent NRL free agent left : Wed Jan 13, 2021 5:28 pm  

No thanks for all those reasons above. The only position we should be looking to strengthen for this season is Prop. If we can’t find someone who is non Fed trained, then we need to get the cheque book out.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Wed Jan 13, 2021 6:15 pm  

Could be somethin in the Walters thing.
Walters in to second row with mellor
Rhyse Martin to loose
Prior to prop.

Mellor and Walters very similar body types

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Wed Jan 13, 2021 6:31 pm  

Ideally for me we'd start every game with two big props and prior/thompson at loose otherwise I think we lack the power and size we need.

He’s off to Salford by the sound of it.
