If Burgess has replaced Sruton who has replaced Burgess?

No one. I reckon more is expected of Burgess this year.

Good question, and who has replaced Ellis?

And dont get me started on Toopi?

And why have prices gone up at Headingley?

ellis and scruton haven't been replaced and this may tell later in the season through tiredness and/or injuries.
toopi hardly played, not his fault, and gibson and watkins have easily replaced him

Most places prices have gone up. Credit crunch, Southstand etc.

My post from back on Page 1:

Hasn't Toopi signed with a French RU signed?

Peacock isn't looking as fit though, only to be expected sooner or later. Tbh Leeds aren't really struggling (look at the table), so until injuries arise or fitness is a major issue then theres no need to question the forwards.

Toopi was a good player especially in the big games, I am yet to be convinced by a 17 year old and a player who has spent the last two years injured.

I agree that Leeds may suffer towards the end of the season through lack of strength in key positions, not replacing Scruton is poor management.

toopi hardly played and ablett did well enough there, and he is still here. i agree about scruton though

As of yet not replacing scruton hasn't proved that costly and we still don't know if the like's of ambler and l.brown will make an impact this year if they get selected.
The squad has plenty of versatility imo and who know's we may end up with another "anselme" as a short term stop gap plus worrall to come back into contention.

When injuries arise to one or more of the four dedicated props it will be too late to question the squad depth for this season. This is where (IMO) Eastwood came in but as he won't be here this season someone is going to have to fill the breach. 5th prop was done by Burgess last season, it looks like Ian Kirke will now get the job this season. That's a pity for Leeds as he was shaping up in the Lauitiiti's wide impact runner role from the bench as Lauitiiti's fitness continues to hit and miss.



Aye we may that and neither of them are what you'd term SL standard outside of the also rans and dregs.

Ablett is a good 2nd rower, he ain't a centre.

Why have prices gone up at Headingley when the product on offer has reduced in quality?

He did a job when we were short.
Worrall will improve again this year imo and like i keep saying IF the right player is out there i'm sure we'll get him.
Missing out on eastwood was a blow but i don't think it's a crisis.
