I thought him and Ormandroyd had already signed for Salford?

McLelland wasnt ready to step up early but hes got better as the season has gone on. Hes a talented kid can defend, and is a better half when taking the line on than any of our other halves.

I repeat our future is bright.

I think McLelland is bright too - we often don’t put enough emphasis on that. One point Leigh made an error passing backwards, and as the Fev line advanced you could just see McLelland marshalling a line rather than darting out alone - little touches but great to see. Smart game management too.

Agar is smart too and he also knows a good (and bad) half back. I’m sure he’s a fan of Callum, as he is of the other young lads at the club.

Yes I was thinking that too

All the Leeds lads made a huge contribution last night - Fev dominated the game and play an expansive game that is pleasing to watch. It will interesting to see how they go against Ford's five drives and a kick into the corner style on Saturday.

Hopefully Toulouse can turn Toronto over - Toulouse v Fev GF would be an open/fast game a real advert for the Championship

Re: NEW COACH | Richard Agar - Rolling Contract : Mon Sep 16, 2019 1:36 pm  

I'd like to see Mcelland and Sutcliffe have another full season at Featherstone next year, they have a lot to turn and the Championship is the best place for them.

The relationship works a treat between both clubs.

I will hold my hands up, watching McLelland on Sunday night suggests he is ready to be given a go as our half, a brilliant young player who has all the skill to make it big time, some of the credit must go to Carr for the time he has spent with him over the last season. Suggest we give him the number 6 or 7 shirt. All the Leeds lads looked good, again Sutcliffe he should be another given a run in the first team. What a difference a quality coach has made to these lads. To hear he could be with us next season is great news, Hats off to both Marty and Gotcha who have been saying this all season.

What is McLelland best position 6 or 7?

Re: NEW COACH | Richard Agar - Rolling Contract : Tue Sep 17, 2019 8:21 am  

Given the way Leeds play (or at least have done) I don't see much difference between 6 & 7, they are simply left halfback and right halfback.

Re: NEW COACH | Richard Agar - Rolling Contract : Tue Sep 17, 2019 5:19 pm  

There is no difference between 6 and 7, as long as you've all the key components covered between the two with a good balance. Mclelland has a good all round skill set and clearly a rugby brain
