Ive got to be honest, Im not convinced by Smith as a winger. There is no doubt he is a good player and can cover a number of positions so he is a def for the squad but for me he lacks pace, which is the wingers best weapon. It might be because of the few hours he spent in a union shirt but he needs to put on a yard or two.

Also really disagree about Coady - Ive watched him a few times, and when I say 'watched' I mean I found out about 50 minutes into the game that he was actually on the pitch. So far he hasn't shown much. Suspect next season will be make or break for him.

Leeds needing Calderwood back = lol.

Mega Lolz more like.

IMO we need a big prop who can drive the ball forward. A Keith Mason or Earl Crabtree type player. No side stepping just ball in hand go forward.

It's the same reaction on here as it was when that happened.

Too many fekwits knee jerking.

Pass on the details of what he was asking for and the contract details of what he was offered when you have a minute please.

Thanks in advance.

If only all the players we "wanted" to sign would just come to Leeds no matter what anyone else offered or despite club loyalty or even if they couldn't pull on a Leeds shirt without vomiting.

Seconded.

And i couldn't agree more with the last one, i'm bored of them now.

The players you want rid of are presumably ones you think are in decline? Nothing wrong with that, everyone could probably come up with a similar list even if they wouldn't necessarily advocate getting rid quite as quickly. What puzzles me is that you've identified Calderwood and Fielden (on another thread) as possible replacements. Don't you think these two are also past their peak?

He was also bemoaning Leeds not blooding more youngsters and Ambler not getting more game time.

I haven't identified Fielden at all mate. I said that he would probably be the guy that Peacock would choose as the perfect foil for him, and as he is available, the better option over Mason. He certainly would not be my top choice. I actually said in that same thread, that personally I would have gone for Sargent for a couple of years, but the club are too late with that one.

Is Calderwood past his peak? I'm not so sure, but on form and the in the right team (like Leeds, IMO he is the best winger in Super League. That's all I am saying. What Donald sadly lacks, enthuisiasm, bottle, and not 5h1tting himself under a bomb, Calderwood's got in abundance. Do we need Calderwood? No do we hell, it would just be a nice replacement as far as I am concerned.

And as usual you jump in and don't read the thread fully. Why did you miss this?



I have said I would have not resigned 4 players and with Eastwood going , would have replaced these 5 players with 4. I further said that given the option I would have got rid of a further 2 players, which would be replaced by internal players. Even further stating that Ambler, Pitts, and the introduction of Ward should be happening next season.

Therefore I think you will now agree, that what I have said previosly, I have followed up on again here?

Jumping in?

I'm just wondering how we would give Ambler more game time (And I want Ambler to get more game time) by bringing Fielden in?

I don't know, you tell me, because as I said above.



But regardless of that there should be 4 props in the 17 along with general rotation between props anyway. Even if you brought a new prop in, why would that mean we still can not give Ambler the game time?
