Personally I can't see/hear the name Maloney without thinking of future world-beater (that never was) Francis...puts me right off as a potential signing



(Guess that's me showing my age)

Agreed. Pack has to be priority now plus a good winger if possible

Whitley has been released by Widnes. He looks exactly the kind of second rower we need, I hope we're in for him

Catalan bound by all accounts

Think we might just see O'Loughlin playing for us next season.
One more prop and a strong running back rower and job done for 2019.

Pies forums are saying the same - really strange decision to take for the last year of your career when you've only had one club. Raises the question of whether Wane was pushed and O'Loughlin didn't like it.

Really.. wow. I think for the right money it's a good move for Leeds in this transition period. He's a winner a leader and a fine player still. Ok he's not going to play 80 mins every week but he's the sort of leader we need. I'm wondering if Leeds think we can get a couple more years out of him

Why ? It boggles my mind.

Another old, past it, injury prone ,disinterested forward isn't what we need.
Got enough of that already.

Great player. The last of the classic English loose forwards. But very strange for me. If we signed him, I would expect to lose at least one of ablett or jjb

JJB was talking on Rugby am today about how he can't wait to be in same changing room As Konrad Hurrell and get on the pitch with him so sounds like JJB is defiantly going round one more year.

I honestly think that we might see him in Leeds colours too. The amount of work on and off the field he will do will only benefit us, especially with the likes of Ward and Sutcliffe. He could be what Sutcliffe needs. Wigan wanted Sutcliffe a few years back to replace O’Loughlin in the future but the deal didn’t come off. Maybe we can use it to our advantage.
