B

Hard to really know right now how significant the knock on effect next year will be as any potential coach/squad changes (or lack of) will be important in fans decision regarding next year.

McDermott stays with pretty much the same squad then tough to see people rushing to snap up ST's.

A new coach that people like the sound of and a couple of signings that look good could see people writing 2016 off as a bad year and prepared to comeback in 2017.

Spot on, they've had 6 points deducted. I'm sure this won't be the last of the matter though. I can imagine some of the Championship clubs would've wanted them to start the Middle 8's with a a deduction also.

That news improves Leeds chances of scraping into the Top 8 somewhat. A few more breaches of the Salary Cap between now and Round 23 and who knows?

If GH isn't already planning for a worst case scenario (by that I mean no cup win and either meaningless Super 8s or Middle 8s not relegation) then he's not doing his job.

Playing wise unless we dump some players he probably doesn't have much room for manoeuvre - the loss of Achurch would probably only enable Leeds to pay Ferres more, which means the only position would be hooker assuming Falloon is released.

Option B for me too.
