Poss Bennett was stumbling block in that he wanted to see out his contract - which to be fair on his service he’s entitled to that opportunity i suppose. Maybe with him being over here for several weeks now made that the best option for him as well rather than going straight into a new job etc
Who knows? I don’t!

I do agree it wasn't our only problem: it's just I think we've gone a long way to fixing the other bits already as you say, with 2x strike centres and Tui/McClelland to partner Myler. And, I can't stand having a soft/busted pack in principle.

For me you can’t afford to give up on any season if you’re a club like Leeds, despite the rebuild. We do still have some very good players. If we add two really high quality forwards for 2019, with the Furner effect I would expect us to be there or thereabouts.

If we add two real quality forwards, (I'd prefer two props + use Peters in the back row) we will win the GF again

We'd certainly look handy. Agree re. Peteru. Two really good props to get us forward and give us some whack in defence again, I think that side has potential suddenly. Even Handley on the wing could go well if he'll take a high ball and defend.
