The rumour is he wants another two years - if that is true then it's a tough decision for GH given his loyalty ethos

2 years? sorry but that's a joke surely

If that's the case he has changed his mind. I understood from various sources he was happy to do just next season if offered it. We should keep him on at Leeds in some capacity, his enthusiasm and honesty for the game is wonderful. Definitely would be an inspiration for the younger players. As my previous missive, Brian Mac should not be flogging the lad for eighty minutes. I am positive if used intelligently he can do a good job for us in thirty minute spells.
Unfortunately Brian macs shortcomings in the use of replacements is well documented.

We need something new. Not loyalty over skills

I actually think JJB used correctly could be a very good asset next season. At 2nd row doing big minutes, no. Off the bench or starting some games with sensible minutes he could still do a valuable job.

Sadly don't think Baldwinson will be in a Leeds shirt again.

Looks like Baldwinson will not be signing a new contract

You can't blame him when he can't get a game.

JJB said in a videoed interview a month back that GH had gone up to him and said jonesy you seem to get better with age not worse, saying this has been one of his best seasons. So looks like he has GH blessing if he decides to stay on.
Also in an interview about mcguires retirement he was asked if he would be a shot for captaincy next year, which he played down suggesting ward would be a better fit, but did hint that he would play on past this year.
I fully expect him to play next year, and I think he will be useful. But only as printer has stated.

Nothing sad about that

Yes i wouldn't be at all against another year for JJB, on the whole he has been very good and would get it on merit not sentiment.

Agreed I don't blame him whatsoever, we should have used him correctly.

We did use him correctly, we didn't pick him.

Baldwinson seemed to struggle with the physicality of SL in the limited time he got. I actually think he'd be better than Singleton as the 3rd or 4th prop, but I don't think he's a big loss. There's a definite bias towards academy players at times. The likes of Singleton, Baldwinson and, Lilley are average, and when that averageness gets exposed, it's because they weren't used correctly or given a fair chance.

Spot on. Can never be because a poster just rated academy player higher than what they actually were.
