In similar vain, how would the results have looked had we had a goal kicker of the caliber of Martin from the start of the season.

And had the same fixtures, where let’s be honest, have been much easier in the second half of year, as we all commented on even when the fixtures were announced end of last year.

Wire are not a great team - they've lost 6 in a row, they have a great signing in Austin but bar that they are bang average (as is most of SL)

Who would get in the team from our team? I'd suggest

Walker
Merrin
Hurrell
Martin
Ward
Lui (they haven't got any halfbacks bar Austin)
Ava
Handley

They would all get in the wire side IMO.

My definition of “solid” is probably more Mid-upper table than top of the table mate.

It’s just the reality of where we’re at on the path to recovery. A year ago around half our team was Championship standard, we were lost and falling fast.

Now I don’t think you could say the same thing. There are a number of players we could do with shedding to clear the path for Academy players yes - for me most of that process should be complete by this time next year.

I am genuinely enthusiastic about this young Leeds side for a couple of years down the line. I do think next year will be a building year, after a Herculean effort to clean the stables a bit this year and just stay in the top flight come what may.

I ment that how would it look after the last 14 games ?

The one big thing for me for 2020 is becoming a side other teams don’t look forward to playing. With blood in the water Leeds has become a sweet scalp for everyone.

I want to see us much tougher down the middle, harder in D and more difficult to handle going forward.

I don’t mind losing so much if we give the opposition a game and made it hard for them to get over us.

I’ve no idea if Gale rumours are true, I know Leeds were after him before he signed current contract.

Hull KR have McGuire, Atkin and drinkwater leaving and only abdull coming in , unless I have missed a signing.
Wondering if gale story is right, would Tony smith take Myler to Hull Kr on the daily minibus with all the others?
Just a thought.

Myler could make sense at KR. I guess, if it comes to it, there will be interest in him from other SL clubs - not the happy position we’ve been in with several other players who are on the outer.

Just listened to Agar's interview, worrying the way he's talking about Ferres.

Ahh I get you

I've previously said that I think Ferres will get another deal, he's pretty much vice captain and seems to be very well liked by the players and the coaching staff.

Now the only thing I would say is he has been playing well of late, not that I'm suggesting we should keep him on.
