:lol: last year was a blip. Theres been loads of our fans on here saying that our squad will only be good enough for 7th or 8th because weve kept a lot from last season etc but the turh of it is our injuries wrote last season off. Our squad was still a top 3 or 4 squad last year imo but we had no luck.

Hopefully with the bit of luck we need i can see us going far.

And yes, maybe settled was the wrong word to use, delighted would be more like it!

I agree, your squad is outstanding this year, even when you compare it with Bradford, Wigan, Wire etc. I could see you doing well this season as long as you maintain injury free. Hopefully one of these days Leeds may get a season riddled with injuries just like both of us have.

we have a few injuries now, so getting wins on the board this early is fantastic, i am looking forward to seeing how we go at full strength, with the likes of luaki(?), a fitter moa, and hopefully crocker to boost our forward line it can only get better.

All our signings so far have been excellent (Moa looked good on the snippet we saw last night). Croker is an awesome player granted but does anyone think we have enough forwards and would love to have a full-back of similar international pedgree instead?

if we don't get Crocker we have to go for a centre or full back, or even better a player that can play both.

G Horne has been in great form, but offers little threat in attack. And Motu Tony's knees need to be looked at closely for the long term, ie a new full back may be needed anyway.

Plus Tony and Raynor to come back. Happy days.

Just out of curiosity but what would be your reaction if RA should move G Horne to full back and Hall to centre
