| I'm all for bringing through the young players but it should be measured and controlled and in the long term interest of both club and player.
We have nobody in this squad with the talent of Danny McGuire, he made 1 start and 8 from bench in 2002, he was born in Dec 1982. So was 19 nearly 20 by end of season.
If you want 1 example of a guy overplayed when young, look at Sam Burgess, best player of his generation, 2 knackered shoulders by 21, finished at 30, can't even play golf at moment.
As for the game being more intense 15/20 years ago, I guess it's impossible to measure, but when I watch old matches, there is far more room and defences are not as strong as now IMO, nor are players. Training, nutrition, etc always improves in every sport.
I hope to see more of the likes of Holroyd this year but he had a fairly tough time at Fev and for now I'd expect more championship than SL is the best way to progress in 2020.
As for a guy like Lees, he looks a hard case but it's a lot easier coming on either with or after Walmsley, Thompson and LMS as 4th prop than for any young Leeds prop who may have Donaldson trying his best to cover a pseudo prop role.

Rob Burrow is a Cas lad (or was when he joined Leeds). Walmsley and Tom Jonstone are Leeds lads. Jason Robinson is a Leeds lad. Doesnt mean much. Cam Smith has spent all his junior years at Leeds. I'm sure we will tie down.

Not saying I believe this, but with him being OOC at end of season, not sure what you mean by deal?

| He's playing like someone aiming for a new contract, not someone whose future is already settled. Like a lot of players, I imagine he wouldn't be too bothered if rumours of other suitors did the rounds if salary negotiations are ongoing.

under 23 club trained can still request a fee.
Really cannot see anything in this, if Cam smith is not wanted we would be shipping him out to Fev and not playing Him as first choice 13, he is playing for an improved long term deal and i would expect Leeds have already laid it on the line what they expect from him to grant him an improved long term deal, and he is responding to that with great form this year. I would expect a long term deal tied up for him by June-July.
