Glad you’re both going; my lad is riddled with chicken pox so we’re in quarantine unfortunately. Enjoy the day boys - hope we don’t get battered and can make a game of it.

I think you had the better end of the deal watching at home with the chicken pox

I really miss the days when I was a season ticket holder but living miles away (and age, possibly) mean that the Leeds performance doesn't make or break my weekend anymore.

There needs to be some massive signings for me to consider renewing our season tickets.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Sep 09, 2023 4:55 pm  

I imagine we will have at least 2 additional signings maybe more

You'd hope so, on the face of it Miller, Goudemand and Frawley close the gap today by 20pts at most. In my head of course.

We've not actually got many out injured, they've just left!

Myler, Sezer, Bentley, Tetavano and Sangare missing along with Austin leaving and MacDonald awol.
That`s a fair slice of our first team squad missing today.
Having said that the liklihood is Myler, Bentley and Sangare will be the only ones in the squad for next season.
Our signings so far are never going to get us in the top 4 and if we do not recruit at least 6 or 7 more with at least 3 of quality we are going to be where we are now.
I`m still waiting for Johnson to develop into the class hooker everyone says he is going to be.
I doubt we are going to sign a hooker of the Buderus ilk and I know many Wigan fans do not rate Powell.
But I think he could do a job for us next season only on the basis we are unlikely to get anyone of class coming in.

By the time we’ve paid Miller and Frawley and Goudemand and retained Bentley, we might be able to get a centre and a 7 but there won’t be much more room? You can want 7 signings all you want but not going to happen: we can’t retain everyone including stacking up six back rowers and have room left for other positions.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Sep 09, 2023 6:58 pm  

Give over… we must have a tonne of cap space left. We’ve lost some big earners. Leeming Tetevano Austin Sezer. Lost Walters. Then likely to lose macdonald. The signings so far won’t be on mega bucks

I doubt we will have increased Bentleys salary, so that won't increase our cap from this season. We should have plenty of space for more signings.
