Quote: HyperbolicRhino "The great thing about Leeds' signings in recent years is that, whilst there are a few that can be singled out as huge successes (Senior, Harris, Peacock) There are also loads of "lesser signings" that have really paid off - Leuluai, Donald, Lauititi, Ellis, Bai (despite the CC Final blunder), Webb, Furner to name just a few. Kirke has also not let anyone down, and I still think Toopi did a good job for us, when fit and playing with confidence. The really great thing is that it' a lot harder to think of signings over the past few years that haven't worked out - since the year of Mullins & Clyde we've hardly made any duff signings. The only one that really springs to mind is Mark O'Neill, and we'll never know if he'd have ben any good if he'd not have got injured. So, whilst the usual suspects can definitely lay a claim to "best signing", there are many others that warrant a mention too. I personally think that lauititi has been one of our best signings, as, when fit there's no one else in super league who can make the plays he can, as he showed on Friday night.'"
Shane Millard is the only other signing of recent times that didn't seem to be much kop IMO and some of the 'lesser' signings you name are international standard players that have been real successes for Leeds
