Sometimes you have to let experienced players go to give youngsters an opportunity - that is 3 in him, JJB and Ablett.

Can count on one hand the number of decent games he had for us.
Good to see the clear out continue now to add some quality.

Think best move for all, but let’s not be disrespectful. Just didn’t work out at all. Injuries and bad timing robbed of us of a very good RL player.

Interesting to hear his Radio Leeds interview that it sounds like he's going part time. Said it's about the work life balance and it's got more difficult for him to be a parent to his kids with the aches and pains over the last few years. Suppose that puts into perspective some of the moaning that goes on about players as others have mentioned in this thread.

Says the club wanted to keep him but he couldn't wait around forever for an answer.

A signing that failed. Renewing his contract would have been an enormous mistake and was surely never a possibility notwithstanding any media spin.

A waste of talent thanks to his arrogance.

Good luck to him. There needs to be players in though.

Not half. We look 3 short imo

Don’t think Ferres leaving will change anything. No point in signing Mellor if we don’t intend to play him, and we have plenty of backrowers.

Said this before but I would rather keep our powder dry than spend up just for the sake of it, on players who aren’t high enough quality. We lack star dust not squad players.

Hard call to make for the club though because if the team doesn’t go better this year AND they haven’t spent up to cap, they’ll get roasted again.

Back to Brett; terrible signing in retrospect but at the time seemed to make sense. Injuries and form have ruined what should have been much better. Maybe he’d have had more sympathy on here if he’d managed his conditioning better at times but I’m sure he tried to make a success of it.

Players don’t really deserve the stick they get.

I appreciate what You're saying but the club have a duty to the fans to ensure the squad is as good as it can be each year. As it stands we are miles short of top 5 and that is simply unacceptable for a Leeds team. I'm not saying we have a Devine right to win something every season but Leeds should be top 5 as a minimum and the standard should be set sky high.

I wouldnt say were miles off top 5 were in transition we need to get these kids through for long term gain but i agree we badly need a hooker, prop and winger before the start of the season.

I dont want the slightest hint of relegation and I know it's a very thin dividing line challenging for top 5 and in a relegation scrap . Agar has a job on his hands here
