I think if we do sign Conner that he can progress under BA as he won’t take Conner’s and I think there is good player in there just needs the right coach to bring it out of him and BA is the guy to sort him out

If he's not on much and is maybe 6th choice prop then I've no real problem with Sangare staying. But I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves. Goudemand just wasn't big enough for the role we needed him to play - hopefully the mythical "middle" will be a thing of the past now. It will be interesting to see who else leaves. Might there even be a few shock departures to make way for the quality we need?

It sounds as if part of our problem is having a cap that is just way out of sync with players' ability. Martin leaving was probably part of fixing that up, as it will be a never-ending cycle of having to make do with some players unless we move on underperforming higher paid players. Martin was probably one of the few who was worth paying overs for, but assuming we're close to the cap we've some players earning far more than they could get elsewhere. Otherwise we wouldn't be finishing 8th and a long, long way behind Wigan.

Just faith and cross fingers at this point.

Fusitua,Martin,Roberts,hooley,Donaldson, myler, Olpherts, CJ and Goudemand gone.
Maybe Mom and Sangare going.

Hall in, rumours of Another who won't be on much I'd hope.
We must have lots of cap, look forward to seeing where it goes

All we are saying is Give Blease a Chance

That's all we are saying.

I dont care what Sangare is on - he has to go - a total waste of space. There have to be props in the Championship who could do a job for us.
Undoing RS crap recruitment is a massive job , but after 20 years in the NRL , if this coach cant find us some decent players , then nobody can.

I don`t mind Connor but thought we might get a Konrad Hurrell or Lafai type of player in the centres.
We now have two prima donnas at centre who on their day are top notch.
Unfortunately lately all I`ve seen from them both is petulance, figure pointing at anyone but themselves and far too many below average performances.
Time will tell unless Newman is one of those leaving.

With Connor now on board, it gives you a step in a backward direction. Leeds will have to wake up quick, and smell the coffee before it's too late if you want to be challenging for the top 6 next season.

Connor will be good utility value. No way should be Mom replacement though. Too slow, and we already lack pace as a team.

People have to remember pointing the finger of blame is a revolving door, > Its the Coach,. Its Gary Heth,Its Bleazie, Its the coach. Ad infinitum.
The Salient points are in a salary cap sport in a league of 12 you are entitled to finish =6th,
I would say this year, with London's situation and Castleford clearly making no attempt to be competitive, we were looking at 5th. Finishing 8th was sub standard. but it was the club's fault it was sub standard not individuals.
The Rhinos haven't really being competitive for 10 years. The likes of Leigh, Salford & KR have benefitted from the cap. This realistically was what it was designed to do.

That is true to a point, but Leeds can afford to exploit marquee rules to the limit, which makes a big difference. We should also be able to spend far more on junior development than most clubs, and could many other clubs afford the transfer fees paid for Croft and Ackers? I doubt it.

The signings and choice of coach have just been awful for years. Get those things right and we'd have stayed up near the top. We didn't, and the result is where we're at.
