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

We've got one who hasnt played since last season FFS & at least 2 who have played & made zero impact all year.
Games played means F'all.

Resign: Donaldson-he'll be cheap and a good rotation for our back row and can be used for reserves to help other young back rowers at club come through

Resign: Lunt( possibly)- I'd only be keeping Lunt around to help develop Johnson and fill in if injury occur but if a other good option at 9 came up who had younger legs but still good pedigree I wouldn't resign Lunt.

Release: Ferres been garbage signing and doesn't warrant a new deal although I think he will get a new deal unfortunately.

Release: Albert not done much wrong but not a top quality player and have too much rubbish in squad to be keeping average players.

Try or Sell: Cuthbertson and/or Peteru if we was gonna try go for a top class Overseas prop we'd have to free up a Quota spot and neither Cuthbertson or Peteru are in the top 15-20 props in super League now so would release either or both to get a class prop in to partner Seumanufagai in our front row.

Try and sell or release :Myler- I expect us to go with Lui and Myler in our Halves next year personally and it might turn into a good partnership but Myler isn't a halfback who's gonna win you trophies, if the Gale rumours are true them surely that's the end of Myler at Leeds. Myler has been poor overall since we signed him and wouldn't be a big miss if he left us.

Possibly sell or release: Singleton he has been one of our poor forwards for a couple of years and if Crosby is fit next year don't see why we need to retain Singleton he will be way down the pecking order and doesn't really offer much and if we do bring in another prop he has to be moved on.


Possibly try sell or release: L.Sutcliffe and L. Briscoe: the are championship standard players imo and would release them to free up cap, but they aren't on the top of the get rid of list for me as they won't be huge earners and can be used in reserves next year.

Possibly sell or release: Golding- he isn't at top of get rid of list either isn't bad cover for Walker and is a committed player when he plays, but he doesn't play so no point in keeping a player that isn't in clubs plans.

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.

Easier said than done when still contracted for another 12 months.It would make sense to keep Lunt then you could integrate Johnson into the team.Im not a fan of the Headless one.

We have to release Lui, Cuthbertson, Merrin, Martin or Seumanufagai to bring a overseas quota player in. Peteru are Hurrell are none fed trained players. Albert is exempt from quota so it doesn’t matter whether he’s in or out.

This will depend on whether he wants to retire after his contract finishes with us.If he wants to continue playing the club can say to him if he can find a club to offer him 2/3 year deal you are welcome to try.

Whatever happened to Cuthbertson's UK passport? he was going to play for England three years back because of this. Wouldn't he then just be NFT?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Sep 11, 2019 11:02 am  

I've always thought Cuthbertson was just NFT as well, and our overseas were. Merrin, Lui, Martin, Seumanufagai and Peteru( because he was born in New Zealand not sure what passport he has or anything though).

Ans our NFT were Hurrell and Cuthbertson

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Sep 11, 2019 11:55 am  

Martin is non fed because he's a PNG player

He's quota according to that statement the RFL put out the other week confirming who is what. They also Cuthbertson also as overseas, but I do raise the question again about the so called british passport, whatever happened to it?
