Right the wrongs of this year.

Hold your hands up and say the likes of Galloway and Falloon havent cut it, get shot and replace. Instead of them falling into Achurch's position where somehow they've found themselves in employment for 4 years and have contributed nothing.

Nope, I'm not on the mailing list so not read it.

I was merely regurgitating the patronising views of the Leeds club and it's fanbase during its era of success.

It's only reasonable the club should stick to their principles of long term strategy based upon investment in academy production rather than attempting to buy their way out of their current malaise surely?

Lots of signings would be hypocritical and lack principles.

You are right William, it has been said by a lot that bringing through your own is the way to go.And it is, or it should be. Thing is Leeds got bang lucky to get so many quality youngsters coming through in one batch that is not the norm, and some always said and knew that it would only really be appreciated once they have gone.

For me, and you have brought this to our attention yourself on a regular basis, the quality of the overseas signings has been pretty poor by Leeds for a long time.We have been able to compensate for this due to having the likes of Sinfield and Peacock and others around, now we don't its painfully obvious we need to up our game in that side of our recruitment.So i don't think the majority on here are wanting a whole host of new overseas signings, just better thought out ones so that the young lads the are coming through, and there are still a few with jury still out, are not hung out to dry.

Priority has to be a quality 9 & another quality BR.
Jjb is playing well but id only renew a deal on either a payp deal or player Coach.
The Delaney situation needs looking at if we cant get him fit then maybe a settlement.

how long has Delaney got left on his present deal end of 2017?

I'd agree with Farah, although expensive and 'old' he's be a good head for the role. Also Ennis is OOC, but i don't expect will leave the Shire.

However, with both of those, money does talk.


Halves wise:

Daniel Mortimer is worth a punt - only 26 and has some good experience.

Feleti Mateo also - but age may not be on his side.

Locks:

Elijah Taylor is a good one, from Wests and utility or Michael Chee-Kam


Props:

Yeah, Hannant or Moa.





Of course, if we'd kept Amor and broken the bank for Walmsley - we wouldnt have this prop situation...

Priority has to be a coach who can get a team to play, otherwise throwing money at players isn't going to be the answer. A coach should be able to get a response and an improvement from players, reardless of senior or youngsters. How many games this season, and still to see that. That for me is the priority.

And I agree with you on the specificas of above.

Gotcha-That was purely my opinion on the playing side of recruitment i've said elsewhere id like to see a whole new Coaching set up etc.

Obsession with most-likely-out of our reach NRL players.

Some good hooker and 2nd row options over here. Add them and try and see if you can get Luke Gale from Cas.

As for props i'm prepared to give Galloway time, he was showing signs of improvement and he (like all the props) would surely benefit if we sign a proper (and good) hooker. I imagine he's always defended with a hooker in the middle with him during his career, shouldn't underestimate how tricky it possibly is to get use to not having that.

Galloway has been pretty decent last few games he certainly looks to be settling in now, And Garbutt has also been one of our better players.

This is one problem, and one you are correct on. I fear that due to Burrow's good attacking form, people will believe, and the club will believe, this can continue and happy with it. What is totally forgotten is the effect it has on the rest of the team, and weak we have looked without an accomplished hooker defending in the middle.

If we're buying in, what does it matter where they're from? We'd all no doubt prefer to have young British talent ready to step up from our Juniors, but where that's not the case, you have to buy in - I couldn't care less where that bought in talent originates from, as long as they're the best fit.

Having seen Galloways performances over the past couple of years at Wests, I don't think there's much more upside in him, regardless of which hooker is alongside him. He'll still be slow and cumbersome.
