The only thing this doesn’t seem to address is the lack of leadership in the group. Otherwise it’s a good improvement.

If we land Sivo and Momorovski is shipped out i'd fully expect our first choice backline would be

1.Miller
2. Sivo
3. Newman
4. Handley
5. Hall

If Momirovski was to stick around and nothing comes of the Sivo deal we'd more than likely go with

1. Miller
2. Hall
3. Newman
4. Momirovski
5. Handley

Keenan palasai. Who had that name?! Some rand bloke on a Facebook comments section last night saying he would be announced this morning (I thought it was a random stab on the dark ) but other than him, nobody!

Love it when the club do this

Looks a cracking signing aswell

Well didn’t see that one coming. Don’t know anything about him, so decided to have a quick look on their forum for a bit of fan opinion.

Some interesting reading

‘’Hopefully we can jettison Palasia as I doubt he has a future at the club after his pathetic efforts this season.’’

‘’Maybe we can move Keenan Palasia to free up a spot as I can not see him getting much playing time with Campbell-Gillard on the way’’

‘’Hopefully we can move on Palasia’’

‘’Let's trade Keenan Palasia for a kitkat. This bloke is so crap’’

I'm beyond getting excited or disappointed with any signings I just hope we are not just going for the next cab off the rank and are genuinely signing players that will make a big impact.

If we end up something like this

Releasing Momirovski and Sangare and bringing in another Quota player plus a fed trained player we will be in a much better position.

Yep, same here. Without some serious reinforcement i dont believe preseason flogging, however rigorous, will prove ant more successful than rohan's attempts to mitigate going in seriously undergunned.

Can’t see Holroyd as a starting prop in fact I think he will be way down the order. If any replacements are found he could be passed on as we can ill afford anyone who regularly misses half a season or more. Might benefit from a season long loan to get himself better prepared.

I want to keep Holroyd but we need to consider him as a 5th / 6th option prop for this season. We cannot rely on him.

I’m not saying a starting prop, but Leeds aren’t the type of club to take a squad number from someone.

Based on what I’d seen and read on here, a squad shuffle of Hall, Connor, Jenkins and Moeroa with maybe a punt on Byrne if we can get him, and potential for Sivo if Momorovski goes.
So out of the blue today we get Palasia maybe in place of Moeroa, it’s still a decent change up.
Added size and go forward to the pack, a bit of utility in Connor, and potentially the carrying of Hall and Sivo out wide.

Palasia reads like a hard running back row who can also do the yards at prop. Albeit his history of knee problems is a worry.
Jenkins also appears to be a big dynamic forward capable of playing back row or prop, so the emphasis is on size but with mobility. Positive.
