We are far more used to dealing with the too old, or too young, or bad rep players than most clubs and have had a lot of success with them.


That's a fair point, but when giving an opinion on a player you can only go on what they have and haven't done and Proctor has been awful on and off the field the last few years.

Good player, he can play, whether he wants to or not is another question....

20+ years in SL it must work.

That said Proctor is not in that group IMHO.

If you take away the two silly incidents, he's got a superb playing record, way beyond any of, for example, Hulls current overseas players.

On this one the personality and the player need separating. Even at 34 he's a no brainer for a squad like ours. Easily the best NRL player (reputation wise) to join SL for a while, if true. It's up to Mash if he thinks the blokes attitude is right.

Re: Kevin proctor : Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:13 am  
Hoping we're not looking at both Proctor & Taylor, one maybe, but not both. Both are quality.

Anthony Tupou was quality, but sadly was way passed it, and really struggled.

Neither would come cheap, and given we're on a tight budget, I think it would be a huge gamble.

Whitbread has been a perfect example if bringing someone in who have their best years ahead of them.

We already have Ashurst, Pitts, Battye and Bowden who will be 30+ come the end of next year, a very ageing pack, and we may have Eseh, O'Donovan, Shaw and Windrow, but honestly, how much exposure are they going to get in the first team next year

If we discounted every player both here and overseas who had been a Richardhead at one time or another there wouldn't be much left to choose from, not much at all.

If he's pulling the shirt on and got his playing head on then he gets my support.

Just hope this 'Sideshow Bob' isn't as disappointing as the first one!

I’m not so sure Pitts is in the playing squad for 2023. There’s no news about an extension but mention he’s coaching the academy. I expect he will just be coaching in 2023.

Ashurst and Tanginoa will be out starting second rowers I expect which I’m very happy with. Though we could do with a good SR signing to rotate from bench. I’d be tempted to look at Jack Ashworth still who’s out of contract at Hudds.

I saw Taylor play the Kiwis the other week and was the best player for Leeds by a country mile. His defence is another planet. I’d be thrilled if we signed Taylor.

Stupid question but where would we play him? Never seen him play front row. Maybe 13?
