There are some more big changes afoot at Headingley for 2020, although I guess our current relegation threat isn't helping contract negotiations.
Linked again with Joel Thompson after losing out (?) on bid for Westerman. I do like the look of Thompson, and Ferres also quoted today as suspecting this might be his final year at Leeds.
Parcell rumoured to be en route also, which makes me wonder whether we really do plan to run with Dwyer next year and Johnson as back up - seems risky.
Hastings - if he does want the rumoured get-out clause for NRL, I'm not sure that's such a terrible thing. If he's busting a gut to get himself in the shop window, even for a year or two, it's still a big upgrade on what we have now? As long as everything's open book so we can replace him if he goes. Maloney is the wrong side of 30 and carrying a career of injuries, so is that the better play really...?
Still nothing on the impact prop I think we still need though. Ava looks okay but we need another senior book end while Oledski and Holroyd in particular are coming through.
