I've a sneaky feeling we will have Darryl Powell as coach, with Jackson Hastings and Luke Gale as our halves next year. If it isn't Darryl, then we'd have recruited someone by now.

Well my source has told me in cryptic fashion whoever we are signing is now done and not just one and to be announced in coming days. Ref Darryl Powell in the post above, he isn’t coming he has been at Leeds once and won’t do it again.

At least we know Pete Smith at the YEP isn’t your source as he’s saying today on social media that there are no signings iminent

So let’s hope your source knows more than him

We might get away with it this year without another signing or two, but it's flipping risky. It looks like we're basically duking it out with London at this point.
I genuinely feel sorry for Sinfield in this position, it must be a nightmare trying to dance over this broken glass he's inherited.

If Peter is correct then the club is playing with fire.. we have to bring someone in asap especially as theyve released Watkins early. It would be suicidal not to

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Jun 18, 2019 5:57 pm  

Agreed. To release Watkins and have no replacement already lined up seems beyond belief if true given our precarious league position.

At what point do we stop trusting in Kev??

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Jun 18, 2019 6:09 pm  

People are adding two plus two and getting five with Watkins going. Him going I don’t believe has absolutely anything to do with bringing someone in. That doesn’t mean to say we won’t, but the Watkins release is a business decision, and a different situation to incoming. His release of cap, also allows us to pay extra to pay off contracts that might have been in next year. Something else desperately needed.

we are desperate for a quality half. we now have cap space.
if we dont recruit its incompetence of the highest level

We are desperate, and need so bad. But we also need to get rid of some before next year too, or we rinse and repeat. Watkins salary freed gives us that flexibility.

We might have cap space but getting quality at this time of year in the position we are in isn’t going to be easy. I would rather get the right person rather than rushing and being stuck with some crap like tui. The problem with relegation it’s going to be difficult getting someone in when we might not be in the top flight next year
