Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Hopefully we don't rush in to sign anyone who's off contract to replace Merrin. That's how teams end up with imbalanced (and rubbish) squads. I'd rather leave that spot open to 2020 if we can't sign real quality. We really don't want another Galloway/Peteru IMO.

Two things re Merrin - firstly we probably dodged a bullet as he clearly didn't want to leave, and secondly, it should be an eye-opener for Furner about how difficult it will be to attract anybody close to 'world class' from the NRL>'"


Agreed, I think there's no where near as much jeopardy next season with regards to relegation, personally rather than rushing a signing I would rather let the new coaching set up assess what is needed long term, this squad may surprise a few people when playing with new structures and systems, which is basically what Furner said in the press conference.

Quote: Fallon "Is the pack really a huge issue though? As of right now we have;
Parcel and Dwyer as hookers. Happy with both and they both have different attributes.
Garbutt, singleton, petru, cuthbo, Crosby, mullally, olejdski as props. Sure another big prop would be great but if Furner can get these guys firing then they can set a platform.

There were holes all over the shop last season and now we should have a decent half back pairing so myler isn't having to do everything and two strike centres we should be better.

Last season was not just poor because of the front row.'"

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.

Quote: KaeruJim "I do agree it wasn't our only problem
I agree that if Garbutt does go (I really don't get the logic behind that if he does) then the front row suddenly does look weaker which is why ideally we need at least one more big hitting prop, two if Garbutt goes.

But, if we did go with what we have now I think we will go ok given the improvements elsewhere.

That said, I do expect two new forwards to come in. Hopefully they will be a high g improvement on what we have now and we can start thinking about a top 4 6 if not too 4 place.

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.
