| If it involved Lee Smith going the other way then it would make sense. If not then we would have too many young threequarters who would end up getting upset by the lack of first team action.

Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?

| What's the odds he'll be in the Blue and Amber next season? Lee Smith and Weller Hauraki as make weights I wonder?

| For me it's a no brainer. We should always be in the market (salary cap permitting) for any RL player who could bring something to our squad, and this lad has just had a very good season.
Could be a chance for Smithy to resurrect his career as well, as he must be favourite to be offered up as part of any deal. Nice bit of business if GH can pull it off.

| Transfer story with agent quotes appears in local rag while player attempts to renegotiate contract shock.
It also doesn't say when the alleged approach for Welham was. If it even happened, I'd wager it was halfway through last season.

Absolutely. Would appear a very good signing, and good age, that would enhance our squad.

Dissagree. No need for Smithy to leave this club at all. Leeds problem was resigning Webb, which was a poor and unnecessary decision.
We could have had a perfectly good all british backline as it stood, and an addition of someone like Welham would have really complimented that.

| Agree Gotcha my thinking is IF we follow this up with a player + cash offer then thinking long term that player should be Webb.
i think a back line of
Bjb/Smith
Hardaker/Watkins
Watkins/Hardaker
Welham
Hall
Theres pace skill and plenty of versatillity within that back line plus we still have depth with Smithy ,Delaney and Ablett more than able to deputise.

Plus the backline has longevity - all these players are still in their early 20s

| I'm in agreement with craigizzard. This sounds like agent-initiated propaganda to me.
If (big if, given the above) we were to sign him, he's a good attacking player but has a lot to work on, particularly in defence, which has been pretty poor on the few occasions I've seen him. If he can work on that he'd be a good acquisition, but I'd question whether he'd merit being above Watkins or the emergent Hardaker for a starting shirt.
If there was an offer made, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that it was before Hardaker surprised everyone with just how quickly he adapted to life in the centres at the end of the season.

982.jpg [quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Agree entirely.
I'd rather Welham continue to develop at Hull Kr and Leeds continue to develop Hardaker and Watkins as centres.

| I mentioned this a few months back, and said he would be quite a good signing. But as been pointed out, people viewed his defensive side as poor.

| With the young players we already have at the club in his position, I'm not sure the signing is needed.
However, with the signing of griffin and moore already in the bag, and the rumoured interest in welham, one thing these players all have in common is that they are english.
With nrl clubs now better placed to outbid super league clubs, going for british is a smart strategy. GH once again 1 or 2 steps ahead of the game.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club." Adam Pearson, FC Website 23-09-2011: |

| Thought Leeds would show more ambition.
First Richard Moore now Kris Welham.
Surely you have better prospects already at the club?
