Think people are getting carried away. I read it as he is saying he is fit and ready to play again next year. Just putting himself in the shop window. Won't be a Leeds player next season.

I wouldn't be so sure, he seems well liked by everyone at the club. Not saying he should be kept just that I think he will.

Hope you're wrong, in the nicest possible way.

Next season we will have Merrin, ward and Martin as about first choice with mellor, Sutcliffe and cuthbo as back up. Hopefully Donaldson will stay on as well with Trout either out on loan or playing reserves. Just don't see what ferres adds to that for the wage he would likely want not to mention that we need to strengthen elsewhere.

Hoping sinfield is smarter than this.

The thing is that every £ of cap is important. Having some in the bank can really make a difference if a player becomes available unexpectedly, or if an NRL club comes sniffing round your youth talent.

Ferres has his moments but if he doesn’t take the club forward then the money should be kept for other purposes.

Agree. I don’t think he’s been quite as bad as some have said he’s been this season but I still wouldn’t keep him on. I don’t think he brings anything that can’t be got from our other options and he offers absolutely nothing in attack.

So, JJB and Ablett are retiring.

Ferres and Albert probably going too.

Not sure if we will retain Lunt.

Golding presumably still wanted out.

I suspect we also want to get rid of Cuthbertson, Singleton and possibly Myler, but these players are all under contract.

With only Mellor signing I hope this means others will be announced soon, in addition to some academy promotions etc.

Id keep Lunt and Cuthbertson, Lunt will help the progree of Johnson and Cuthbertson has gone OK this season

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:48 am  

Unless we are getting a decent 9, I would keep Lunt, he adds experience and structure around the rook and young Johnson can learn from that rather the headless chicken move.
I’m in two minds about Cuthbo, I like the bloke but is it a business move, Peteru hasn’t lived up to his size and I would cut our losses and get another big NRL prop.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Sep 11, 2019 9:21 am  

Keep Lunt? No thanks time to start rotating Johnson into the Team
Id also realease Albert Ferres Cuthbertson Singleton Petaru Donaldson & if we can get takers Golding Myler & L.Briscoe.
Ps Yes Chris he's a big unit we are desperately short of.

You'd sign a prop who's only played one game all year? Jeez.
