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.

Thought Leeds would show more ambition.

First Richard Moore now Kris Welham.

Surely you have better prospects already at the club?

To be fair, I think every club in Super League would like to follow that route. It's just that with such a small quantity of quality it usually comes down to money, and therefore the richer clubs competing. And in some cases transfer fees involved. That put's a lot of the clubs out of the running, especially when going for someone more like this type of quality.

I'd be underwhelmed if this comes off - presumably he'd expect to come here and be starting in the centres, and IMO the club already has three better options.

Young , English , above average and likely to develop into a top quality centre .

The kind of player the club should at least show an interest in .

Who are you referring to, Zak Hardaker or Kallum Watkins?

With 24 tries coming in 27? appearances I suspect that apart from Ryan Hall there's not a Leeds back within a cooee of him.

Defensively weak? Well, given the amount of time and effort our own young squad players will be putting into that particular discipline this off season, I'm sure the defence coaches could fit in another one!

Garry still has my confidence when it comes to spotting potential.....

I wouldn't dispute his potential, but he is top dog at Hull KR, and would have to fight for a shirt at Leeds. I'd further dispute whether we need to be paying transfer fees to cover a well-stocked position. If he was OOC, that would be different.

I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good signing, but as ever GH will have to balance cost against added value. I'm sure he'll do that just fine.

I still think this is just his agent trying to boost the bottom line number on his client's new contract though.

Wasnt John Gallagher the last ginger you signed, look how that turned out.

Mind you, i heard you did try to sign G1 once, he would be ginger if he had any hair

Wouldn't be too unpleased if we signed him however I personally would like to see hardaker and Watkins develop, I assume this interest was near the middle of the season, and is being used to gain a new contract with KR

Strawberry blonde you swine, strawberry blonde.
