| I’d keep:
Walker
Watkins
Hurrell
Merrin
Ward
Oledzki
Smith
Dwyer
Newman
Golding
Plus the lads just up from the academy such as Trout etc
But that’s a lot of change. We’d need 2 wingers, 2 halves, at least 3 props, 2 second rowers and a hooker.
That obviously can’t be done quickly as not only can’t you get rid of players that quickly you can’t get players of the right quality and the right fit in that quickly. It would have to be done over say 3 years.
For the time being I’d put as many of the young lads in as are ready for first team. So I’d go with a team of:
1. Golding
2. Briscoe
3. Newman
4. Hurrell
5. Handley
6. McLelland
7. Myler
8. Peteru
9. Johnson
10. Oledzki
11. Merrin
12. Smith
13. Ward (he should be back soon)
14. Dwyer
15. Holroyd
16. Mustapha
17. Ava
Rotate Alex Sutcliffe and Trout in with Holroyd abs Mustapha.
Dwyer adds energy but is a bit schizo and unpredictable. If Parcell is not starting because Dwyers limited ability is keeping him out then we need rid and we might as well give a young lad a go.

| Not many after yesterday's performance. I fully understand why people on here are saying McClennland is not ready, he's 12 months and more away from playing SL. We need two quality half backs as soon as possible and some quality experience in the pack. I give up we basically need a now team

| Quote BrisbaneRhino="BrisbaneRhino"Merrin is a good player but he's really not what we need. To a degree Hurrell as well. Lolohea is just horrifically bad. If we need cap and qouta space I'd let Merrin return to Oz to get a halfback. Hurrell not sure, Lolohea I'd genuinely pay out whatever the cap implications.'"
I'd only let Merrin go if we get a quality pack enforcer/leader like Burgess/Graham type

| It's not a case of who you keep but who you can get rid off. Not that easy, especially if in possession of a contract

| It's a bit Fantasy Manager-ish but what the hell, I need something to make me smile. I'd keep.
Walker/ Golding as our two full backs. Both young and decent. They would have this position stitched up for 10 years+
I wouldn't keep any of our wingers. At a push Handley as back up.
I'd keep all 3 of our centres but I do have serious reservations about Watkins ability post knee injury. I fear he could be done.
I wouldn't keep any of our halfbacks.
Oledski, Peteru, Crosby, and Ava (just as we haven't seen him fit yet) and then the academy lads coming through.
I'd keep both hookers.
Ward, trout, sutty as cover across a multitude of positions.
Merrin and Smith as LFs.
Overall I think the front row is getting addressed but we have very little in the 2nd row and no halfbacks that can control/run/grab by the scruff of the neck a game and that is what is hurting us most (but not only).

| I would not add any players under 21 in the equation at all as most are still academy player, with exeption of oledski. But he is keeper regardless
Walker, fine but he will be off first chance he gets.
Golding clearly not wanted regardless and do we need two fullbacks.
Handley, Keep, better than people give him credit getting singled out when theire are bigger issues.
Briscoe, get rid under performer full stop.
Hurrel Keep
Watkins not going anywhere regardless, but looks finushed at centre and not sure will ever regain previous firm, not sure he is second rower.
Lolohea. Get rid sub standard coward.
Myler needs a poper halh back partner we mush him when he dies not play adds more than given credit for.
Sutcliffe, given too many chances too many positions time to cut loose.
Cuthbo a favourite of mine but just not cutting the mustard. Buck up or out.
Singleton , out poor player
Albert one year only anyway not done enough to renew.
Ava. Too early to judge but long term contract anyway.
Peteru, out seen enough now nit good enough.
Crosby out, not played a game anyway, thats not a good sign.
Ablett see above clearly finished.
JJB retirement anyway.
Ferres out. No need to elaborate.
Merrin keep
Donaldson keep, cheap plays above his weight and one of the only players showing bottle.
Cameron smith. Keep Still young and shows glimpses but needs to do more
Ward get rid too injury prone not worth the risk anymore.
Dywer keep, been our best player, no world beater but currently one of best 3-4 hookers in league in a losing side
Parcell get rid, looks not interested.
Whole squad wants putting on performance rewiew, any body can be sacked if not meeting required standard in any job. Contract or not.

| JJB
Ablett
Cuthbertson
Ferres
Myler
Briscoe
Singleton
I'd start by trying to get rid of as many of the above as possible first. Obviously easier said than done.

| I will probably get slated for this but I much prefer Parcell as starting hooker, let Dwyer come on in the later stages, not sure he knows what he is going to do next so how the hell are our halves supposed to ??? Player of the season so far  Warrington got rid for a reason

| Dwyer stands out at times because most the rest are so poor. I'm not knocking the lad because he is at least having a dig when others clearly aren't but long term he is not the starting hooker of a team looking for the top end of the table.good impact player

| Wakefield fan in peace.
If I can add something, when recruiting players, a leader is needed in my opinion.
Clearly a good coach will make a difference but Leeds look rudderless to me.
It doesn't have to be a young guy for the future, just someone who can lead the team until the recruitment is sorted.
Non of the senior players have the leadership side of the game so it needs to be brought in.

| It would be impossible to get rid of everyone who needs to go
Hanley and Briscoe are not great wingers
Hurrell is decent but Makes lots of errors wouldn’t be upset if he left with the money he is on is freed up
Lolohia needs sacking
Myler crap
Sutcliffe crap as half or back row
Singleton Crosby Albert, cuthbertson need to go
Ablett, JJB, Ferres, all poor
Cam smith is popular on here but he’s been poor whenever he gets a chance
Merrin again a plodder but decent again wouldn’t be too bothered if he left
