Also playing next to Croft, with a decent sized pack moving forwards and some strike out wide should make him look better. Sinfield and Croft could work on style, sinfield and Frawley is a horrible mix.
Harry smith is the type of model Sinfield should be looking at. Kick, kick and kick, pick the right pass most the time and half decent in defence.

With regards to how clubs handle players transfers, either when they come to re signing current players or choosing not to renew their contracts, as they have had a far higher offer from elsewhere

I have just watched the James Graham bye round with the Penrith Panthers CEO which is a brilliant watch

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

I’m about 40 mins in on that at the moment, agree it’s fantastic. Just shows how far off we had slipped before IB arrived.

So, are Leeds done for new signings now with Sivo finally confirmed?

While none of the incoming players are likely to be cheap, it seems that we've had a lot more get cut from the squad. I guess the quota is full so we'll be confined to British and French players.

Looking at the squad, we're a bit thin at centre with only Connor and Newman in that position. I can still remember Handley at centre and full-back and would rather he just played on the wing, but maybe he's okay as back-up. I guess there's Simpson too...

We're looking better up front but second row is hardly thrilling with Martin gone, and there's a lot less depth than before. I'm not sure we can expect too much from Gannon until he's got a string of games under his belt again. Bentley and McDonnell aren't a top 4 pairing IMO.

Ned McCormack didn’t look out of place last year in the centre. I agree with other people who think that Handley would play there which makes sense given we have more depth on the wing. I assume Max Simpson might be somewhere near at some point too.

The back row does look light on depth and arguably quality, and I still think we’re a prop short.

I'd forgotten McCormack. He did look promising.

Much better to have a pathway for promising youngsters than having squadfillers that are never going to achieve the required standard like we have done the last few years. If the pack goes well its easier to blood young players in the backs. Agree if the money is there we need another big forward but happy to see the likes of Lumb McCormack Edgill and Simpson get game time in the backs!

Again to be fair to Smith we just didn't have many good young players around when he joined, which is why he started signing 'squad' players. We signed too many no doubt, and retained a bunch of players we shouldn't have, but our first 17 was/is a bigger problem. Not that he did a great job there, in the forwards at least....
