Don't forget Matt Place. Two of the three Aussie signings paid off, unfortunately the one that didn't was the halfback.

He may have been the one but wanted to return home. No good for anyone an unhappy player.

At least he can pass and kick a ball!!

Atkin wanted to come to Fax before his move to HKR was even mooted

he may think the next halfback is already here in the reserves.

Some people need to get a grip of reality. When a club like Leeds with finances available struggles for halfbacks what chance have we got with a much lower budget?

So come on then, who would you replace Marshall with? What halfback would you sign? Who should be the Director of rugby?

I wouldn't.
Young unknown Aussie.
We can't afford/need one.

Leeds just paid the wrong money for the wrong HB in Myler....

The fact of the matter is that the HB position is a clear issue for us, it's the elephant in the room. Another Fact is that RM has been offered over the last couple if years: Atkin, Yates, Andy Cain and even Todd Carney (when we were DR'd with Salford), all of which were turned down. More recently Aston too. RM doesn't feel HB is an issue which for me is an issue when it's clear it's where we need to improve and pretty much everyone has seen.

RM for me personally isn't the answer, I'm not a fan and I never have been plus i think he's taken us as far as he can....

We could do a lot worse than Grix/Murrell and in all likelihood they or one of them will be our next coach once Marshall moves on.

Regards half backs I also feel we should be looking to bring in a hooker and as soon as Leigh went belly up I would have been straight in for Liam Hood, another who we have had the chance to sign in the past. Similar to the halfbacks one or two hookers could be named that we dillied and dallied over and ended up missing out.

As I see it. The club orRM seem to be of the opinion that the most expenceively paid player in the squad has to play, wether they play good or not.

With some players you don`t notice just what they do until they don`t play. For years i wondered what Jack Scroby did until he stopped. Same with Karl Harrison until he would miss a game......

We all know the limitations of players. It a case of pick the ones who give you the most.

I wonder if the player you thinking of was nominated for Champ player of season by his peers.

I've allus said the same about Karl Harrison. Immense.
