Handley is awful at Fullback!

It's by no means impossible though. Look at Amone, Mago, and Satae. None of of them had really broken through over there, but they've been great in SL. Simply put, we need to try harder and do better when it comes to recruitment.

He was also back on the boil enough in his first full season to get an England cap
Lets see how he goes under a new coach

Will be harder with is being abit of a show the last few years with regards to silverware and league position etc.

I know it was a different time during the golden gen but ad Sinny said, players down bigger deals elsewhere to win and play at Leeds.
We no longer have that ,so players will cost more

3 year deal would be a disaster currently hes a shadow of the player he was and is blowing and struggling with the pace of the game after 15 minutes. As an impact off the bench he would be an upgrade on Lisone and improve our go forward but his value would deteriate as he got older. We need an aggresive starting prop who can play decent minutes and carry the ball regularly. Lisone is a bench prop Sangare will never be good enough and should be 5th or 6th option and Holroyd has just not kicked on playing only around 40 games in 5 years and with the ball offers even less than Sangare. Unfortunately these guys are contracted so its not a problem thats easily solved.

Holroyd is still young and has come through our own academy, he's worth a place in the 17 when fit and should get better with age and experience.

Think I agree on some above comments - we've had our fingers burned more than once signing big names whose best years were well behind them. We probably need more of an undiscovered gem with the physical attributes to cause problems. I have said we should splash the cash for the right player but if you're talking £400-500k a year with a long-term commitment it probably isn't justifiable really.

Be interesting how Blease handles things.
