Johnstone, McMeeken and Storton to Wakey so far,

Massive coup for Wakey. Johnston would have been brilliant for us, McMeeken too!

Can't blame them going for cash these days

Think Roberts is a very useful player after watching him closely first half vs Saints. Who knows if will be first choice, but will play plenty and not let anyone down…..

Not for mine he's a steady Eddie at best.

Roberts wont even be at Leeds in two years time given the young backs coming through. He’s a decent size body, but not actually that good a player even for his age and experience.

Bit harsh writing him off already Isn’t it? Why’s he getting picked then. Where are these much better young players?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Mar 16, 2024 9:24 am  

I don’t think it’s harsh, I think it’s honest. He’s not that great a prospect never mind player. We have Simpson, McCormack, Smith, Lumb all coming through that will be at least as good, probably a lot better and they are all younger than he is. Then behind this there is even more young talent. He’s filling a shirt whilst we don’t have better options right now, which is as a result of us neglecting the juniors for years, but in 2 years time he won’t be on a par with any of the above, so will be moved on.

Ok, you may be right. Not saying he’s a world beater, just pointing out that he was doing a good job as a young player and looks a big unit on wing!

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Mar 16, 2024 9:36 am  

He’s doing an OK job, he scored his first try of the season last night, but has made a number of costly mistakes. If we have aspirations of competing we need much more on the wing, compare him with Handley who is the right standard. He won’t ever reach that standard and that’s fine, but will mean he doesn’t have a long career at Leeds.
