Yes and I’m quite happy with that, given where we’ve come from.
I’ve felt we have been soft down the middle for far too long, and as we rebuild it starts in the pack and works out through the pivots and backs.
We’re making strides. Unless Holroyd comes good and stays fit this year, we could do with another heavy middle. Half backs - we‘ll see how Lui goes this year. We could do with a boom young kid coming through in addition to McLelland for the future.
We do lack real pace but what is nice to see is players like Newman, Walker (and Stephens coming through) who have exceptional footwork and can beat players.

But he’s contracted until the end of 2021 so he’s not in his last year just yet.

So if there was an approach either Leeds turned it down or Sutty did. I have doubts on this due to Adam Pearson saying he would never do a deal with Leeds after the signing of Brisco.

I suppose he’d now be dealing with Sinfield rather than Hetherington.

But then Adam Pearson says a lot of things that turn out to be nonsense soon after.

I only passed on what a family member said.

but briscoe was out of contract so really its pearson doing what he does best.
