Ok then we should have kept an unhappy Leeming for this year, had him potentially disrupting the squad and let him go for free at the end of this season. Then everyone could have moaned some more ?

The lad doesn't want to be here - what can't people understand?

Totally agree an unhappy player is only going to cause disruption. Trout looks a fine prospect. As for hooker the club may still be looking for a replacement or alternatively Frawley, Holmes and Russell all have experience of playing there so to suggest we have no cover for O Brien is not true.

Got to agree, i would have preferred him to want to stay but he didn't so time to move on, and anyway we have lost plenty of better players in the past who wouldn't have minded staying and we do as you say have options. Myself i'm more concerned about building a strong pack then everybody has a chance to play better.

For years on here Jools has argued with folk who have used the term “let go” when referring to players going elsewhere.
She has rightly so pointed out that we cannot keep players who don’t want to be here.
However she is now contradicting herself because it’s golden boy Leeming.
He’s an average hooker at best. If he was anything better Wigan, saints and half the NRL would be after him.
Secondly he’s not young. He’s 24. Made his debut 7 years ago and not progressed like he should. Remember Lunt at 24, or Roby, or Clark or any other top hooker.

Finally, he’s had his head turned. That’s fine, his choice. He clearly has no loyalty as he has jumped ship at the first opportunity. The club made him what he is, but not to worry.

He’s made it clear he wants to leave so I’d make him train with the kids until Leeds pay what we want.
I’d have him nowhere near the first team.

If they don’t offer what we want. Let him see his contract out in the reserves.

I'd read nowt into that. If getting picked meant a bonus, there was no chance. Same as Ash Golding.
Trout's decent; there's a few on the Leeds board thinking we've got the worst of the deal.

It appears that you have spent days wording your Churchill like fighting speech so you may have inadvertently missed the point that a deal has been allegedly agreed between both clubs........

But IF not please feel free to keep frothing from the mouth

Re: Leeds sniffing around leeming : Mon Nov 25, 2019 8:30 pm  

Think its decent deal for both clubs. For you...Getting a big, young England Academy second row, aswel as cash, is pretty decent for a player dead set on leaving. You really are putting together a good nucleus of quality young players.

For us...we'r desperate for a decent hooker, especially one that dosnt take a quota place, Leeming fits the bill.
