| Just wondering with his good pal Leon coming home that maybe Elliott would be getting homesick. Stuck in a foreign country with only Aussies for company. Should we be interested if he did want out?

| Offensively you can't ignore a 2nd rower who has got 17 tries this year. Defensively though he's 5th in the league for missed tackles, well above any Leeds player even though we've gathered a rep for missing a few tackles this year.
Along with the links to Chan and Kirmond etc. it doesn't seem the position that is of most urgency.

| Good player, a try scoring second row like that is pretty rare. His defensive stats may be something to do with Catalans structure.
He's big and seems to have a good engine. Got to be worth a look.

Granted it could be a case of Catalans defence being the issue.
Would definitely be worth a look if he was interested in leaving France but we've got a few on the verge regarding the back row so tricky to fit him and all the others in.
Would also depend on wages, we've got to tie up Hardaker and Watkins plus a lot of young guys to good deals so the money might only stretch so far.

True but we've also got Peacock and probably Leuluai leaving in a years time.
I don't think salary cap would be the issue, our wage structure and IF Whitehead actually wants to leave France would be bigger factors in my opinion.

But because they're leaving soon, perhaps better to try sign a prop for 2016 with a decent chunk of change from the wage bill? We won't just need a prop, we'll need a lead prop and that won't come cheap.

| He's the best offloading second-row in the league and something we've missed since Ali. No reason to think he's not happy in France though, and he's probably on a better wage than we could give him.

Oh I agree we need a prop in addition to Cuthbertson, and that's on the assumption Cuthbertson is more of a Leuluai and less of a Ben Cross/Mark O'Neill. Unless Bailey & Kirke step up. Lol.

| I think he's improved a lot since he left the Dulls but I doubt he will leave there and as Printer pointed out I think our squad have recruitment/retention priorities elsewhere.

| If we got him at a reasonable price I would say yes.
Although I still think he is still a bit raw. Then I would expect Mac to bring the best out of him.

| Whitehead is also Catalans top tackler in terms of numbers. So he's missed a few, but he's made plenty. People run at him because he's targeted. But does plenty with the ball to make up for it.

| No real reason to think he's unsettled in France. I doubt he only went there because Leon Pryce was there. Looks like a man enjoying his rugby.
I am still not totally convinced by him. He has an eye for the tryline, but sometimes seems to drift out of games a bit. He's a good player, but I think there's potential for him to be better than that. I'd want to know what's holding him back.
Besides the above issues, I also don't think back row is somewhere we need to spuff a load of cash at the moment.

| I'd agree with El Diablo on this one, back row isn't a position I think we need to strengthen, especially with some of the younger lads who are coming through. Would like to see any potential funds spent on new deals for Watkins and Hardaker.

| Isn't the rumour that he left West Yorkshire (and indeed the Country) because of problems Drinking with Mates etc.... I think him coming back might kick that off again?
