Well with Sangare , Goudemand, Ruan, Hudson already gone, and Momirovski soon to be announced, it seems that you can actually shift on contracted players if you want to. Blease is doing a great job so far, well done Blaster!

Agreed

Yeah, great start so far it has to be said. They were being very clever weren't they saying hardly any movement expected this offseason a few weeks back..

It needed doing, and more work is needed over the next 12 months if we are to get back to title winning contenders but it's a good start. I suspect this season's poor show was the final straw in terms of a lot of patience around the club from the SLT..

Mulhern wouldn’t come back to Leeds to be a bit part player when he’s a very important player where he’s currently at, although I would be very pleased if that were to happen, you are more than likely looking at a Eseh Jr type.

Maybe, maybe not. Most people on here were happy with the last round of Smith signings apart from Frawley.

I am not questioning any of the departures so far aside from Martin, and I appreciate we have to start somewhere. But successful sides are seldom built on wholesale changes like this. If they were, Warrington would be 10x SL champions by now.

My hope is that there is sustained improvement so that making the play-offs is a minimum expectation rather than the focus of the last third of the season. I would also hope that a few younger players are successful in winning first team places during the season - so that less drastic surgery on the squad is needed in a year's time and recruitment can focus on a smaller number of quality acquisitions/replacements.

While Arthur might be at Leeds between NRL gigs, if he wants to make a real impact he can't afford to faff around with substandard players. There have been too many of them around the club for years and years.

That's why I like the fact that most of the contracts we're signing are just 2 years. We can always move to extend even during the first year if things are working out, but the message needs to be that all players need to earn deals.
