Not sure where Hastings would fit in.I like Connor Croft combination with Sinfield as cover.It looking more likely we will only be signing one overseas player next season.

How come only one? We have both Frawley and ECW out of contract, even if Lisone re-signs

Mika sivo, cones back in next year for ECW.

Lisone in good form, but needs to play well consistently and against the main challengers before we offer him a new contract.

The only position we need to fill next year from overseas in Hooker. A top Hooker would seriously improve our attack.

Does Sivo come back next year? I'm not 100% convinced we'll ever see him in a leeds shirt.

me neither

Sivo hasn't gone home. He's still here doing his rehab and on the very little I have seen, looking pretty happy with life. Really looking forward to seeing him next year. Re Batley's point about hooker, I agree that a top class NRL hooker might make a big difference, but if you cast an eye over the depth of next years likely squad it looks unlikely; Ackers, O'Connor and  Sinfield are still contracted with young Diskin making good progress. Centre looks like the spot where we lack depth with only Newman and Handley as senior players. If ECW gets a shot and does well he could yet stay while the likes of Simpson and McCormack get more experience in the reserves. If it does turn out that Lisone stays changes to the squad could be very minimal, which may turn out to be a good thing for a change.

Tend to agree but O'Connor and Ackers both contracted for 2026.We really need Ackers to find the form he showed at Salford.

I could see Ackers being released to find another club if he can't find the form we are looking for over the rest of the year. When players enter the last year of a contract, the conversation with them changes and it goes one of two ways, we want you to stay, or we won't be offering an extension and you are free to leave if you find something else.

Isn't one of BA's lads a dummy half?

Funny you should mention that…
