I'd like to think we are after a controlling halfback as well. James Maloney would be great for a couple of years. Wonder if Cuthbo will be offered to remain as the coach of the women's team with the same pay he has now but will retire at the end of the season?

Cuthbo is contracted until 2020 so doubt he'll retire.

Wasn’t Delaney in the same situation?

Delaney body was broken I seem to recall Cuthbertson saying earlier in the year on speculation of his Leeds future that he still had two years left and was going nowhere.

Still hearing strong rumours that several currently contracted players for 2020 and beyond are being touted to other clubs and that they would be released if they could get longer term deals elsewhere.

IMO the club have identified the players currently under contract that they deem surplus to requirements and that it would be in their interests long term to move on rather than run their contracts down at the club (could be reason as to why our side is not performing as players know that they are on the way out?)

If you had a shopping list that was realistic for 2020 then who would you like the club to sign?

I would sign Jackson Hastings and George Burgess as my first choices

James Maloney from Penrith would be also worth a shout for 2020 if we couldn't get Hastings,but I would imagine that he will want Mega Bucks to sign (Wigan signing IMO)

No wonder half of squad aren't given their all for the club if that's true.

I agree, Hastings and George Burgess would be my main targets. Then I'd like that Jones from Salford with the big back rower from Manly (Thompson?) Weve been linked with. Both wingers over the next couple of years need upgrading.

6 or 7 signings needed for me to get us back into playoff contenders

We need second rowers more than another prop IMO, but at least one decent halfback has to be top of the list.

There are rumours we’re looking at Josh Jones. Not sure what to make to be honest. Has looked good on occasions, not on others, but then I’ve not been watching him specifically.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Mon May 06, 2019 7:47 pm  

George would be a JP like signing without a doubt. If hes available we should do everything in our power to make it happen. Imo it would give the club a huge lift. But yes a couple of quality halves is also a massive priority

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Mon May 06, 2019 8:49 pm  

Let's all get realistic we are not going to sign all of these players.J.Thompson and J Jones are the most important for me.Why is G.Burgess being let go and can Hastings be a big fish in a big pond,not sure.
