Quote: Biff Tannen "I really think you are being very harsh to be honest mate. Handley is way ahead of where anybody could have expected him to be right now.He has all the core skills needed imo, and the fact he played almost half a season at 18 scoring plenty of tries (13 in 21 games for Leeds 2015) and generally holding his own and not looking out of place against seasoned pro's bodes really well for the future. By comparison Ryan Hall was 19 almost 20 when he was just breaking into the Leeds side sporadically and was not the monster winger he is these days. Handley at 1 inch taller has the frame to also fill out and become an excellent three quarter in the next few years.If he keeps getting the game time at Fev and the odd game for us he is on the right track. Same goes for Golding and even Lilley ( who is getting his chance now but is no way fully developed) these lads need patience if we are to see them hit their full potential but that is a few years away.'"

Agree with you that there is much more development for all 3 which is likely to take a few years. Appreciate different for props but think how long Leeds have been bringing on singleton before he hit his straps last season. Let's not be in too much of a rush to see the back of MCGuire and Burrow. No pair of halves have got anywhere near their success for Leeds. 14 championships between them.
