Terrence Seu Seu is replacement for Bedsy

Looking forward to tedious arguments about how Seu Seu has a more exotic surname than Diskin.

If Seu Seu is a better player than McShane then great....if not, again, what's the bluddy point ?

Either way it seems McShane will be the first of an exodus of good young ENGLISH forwards (was it that long ago that some of here proclaimed him to be the new K.Cunningham ?). Well done GH.

I suspect Amor and Ambler will follow thanks to the signing of our dynamic new 30 year old prop and re-signing of another two .....even better GH

With Peacock, Leuluai, Kirke, Moore and (unless something changes ) Bailey, its hard to see Amber and Amor coming back - certainly not both of them. Having 7 props in a squad of 25 would be ridiculous.

Mcshane just signed new 4 yr deal so he going no where I was told when Amor went to Wakey they had the option to keep him so cnt see him coming back and just dont think Ambler is good enough

Never heard of Seu Seu but hope that wont stiffle Hoods chances to the point he leaves

As long as we keep McDermott it doesn't matter who we sign or who leaves the club on the playing front. Even if we win the CC he should be replaced.

Agree DHM.

I said the same last week. 100% agree.

I'm still not sold on McDermott and a lot of his tactics and selection policies leave me scratching my head but you cannot sack a coach that wins one of the two major trophies on offer.

Ending the season with a wet sail gives him another year IMO. Perhaps his ideas are now starting to be implemented? I spoke to yet another coach on Saturday who have been to one of his clinics and been very impressed with him.

One thing I will say, he's improved the defence significantly as the season as gone on.

I've heard a few RL professionals saying how impressed they are by him.

But let's get this straight...

Finishing 5th of what Swiftcorn will quite rightly tell you is a 5 team competition, and reaching a Challenge Cup Final in which Castleford were the best team we faced en route (and even then we only managed to scrape it!), coupled with the appalling rugby we've had to watch along the way, is hardly testament to what a quality coach he is. I'd rather see him gone thanks.

On Richard Moore - can you honestly see St Helens, Wigan, Warrington or Huddersfield signing him?

If he is not good enough for them why do some on here think he will a suitable signing for Leeds? are you accepting mediocrity as the norm?

On Seu Seu - he cannot even get a gig in the NRL so again why would Leeds sign him?

I agree with the principle.

That said, there are many players that can't get a gig in the NRL but that can easily cut it over here. Michael Dobson for example?

I'm with G1 on this. McDermott may not be the best coach we've had but if he manages to beat hot-favourites Wigan in the CC then he does deserve another season (unlikely as this may be). He also has to be judged on how Leeds perform in the play-offs - if Leeds demonstrate the ability to beat top 3 opposition (i.e. not Huddersfield or Catalans) then I might reconsider my position depending on the circumstances.

On the signings front, Moore is a disappointment but hopefully players of greater ability will be announced in due course. The logical time would be in the week or so after our almost inevitable cup loss to Wigan

Leeds squad issues this year certainly arent quantity, but quantity. If we lose Ali, Burgess, Cross, Buderus, Senior, and bring in two high quality players and Richard Moore, then I think our squad will be improved.

Im not too bothered if we are losing squad players like Burgess and Cross, and over the past two years Ali. Pitts, Singleton, Clarskon, Singleton, and Ambler can fight for those spots.

Senior needs replacing, as would Buderus if he goes, letting go the likes of Ali, Burgess, Cross etc, allows us to bring in better to fill those two positions.

If anything right now, our squad is too large, im not overly worried about trimming some of the fat.
