Isaac Luke would be my choice.
Not a fan of Myler but seems a big risk going for Gale.

Luke would make loads of sense for us as the senior 9 to Corey coming through; but we would need to offload a currently contracted player to make room and can’t see it myself. Plus which, it looks like one or two NRL clubs are showing interest.

I’m nervous about the Gale rumours. Yes i think he would improve Leeds if fit; but that’s a big if and given JJB, Crosby, Watkins, Ward, Ablett, Holroyd, T Briscoe situations this season I’m not sure it is wise at all.

We also need to ship out Myler which isn’t a given.

I’m interested to see how Mellor goes for us with a back row of Merrin, Martin, Ward, Trout, Sutcliffe, Walters, Smith already in place next year.

One of the best calls of this year was to bring Martin in - on only is he a good strong runner he clearly is a very very good goal kicker, had we had him for the full year I believe we would have won a few more of those close games.

look at yesterday, he had a difficult kick in windy conditions to put the game to bed and he nailed it

We haven't had a goal kicker since Sinfield left

He's a handy player certainly. I like his pace because our back row has become very pedestrian over a number of years.

Ava has been a really good buy for me as well, very solid indeed.

I'd like to see Johnson, Dupree, Holroyd, Oledzki, Walters, Trout apply some real pressure on the first team pack next year.

For Luke to come we would need to release one of Seumanufagai, Cuthbertson, Martin, Lui or Merrin. I can’t see any of them leaving. Peteru or Hurrell would only release at NFT spot and we would need NFT and OQ for Luke.

I generally wouldn’t be surprised if we went with Lui and Gale and Myler off the bench as an interchange keeping Dwyer on for 80 minutes (wouldn’t be my choice mind)

Think Lui and Myler will be our halfs next season unless we can some how offload Myler, since Lui has come in it Myler has preformed better but we need to bring in a top class half to get back to top.end of super league personally don't think gale is right player to do that.

I would guess - OUT: Abblet, JJB, Crosby, Ferres, Myler, Peteru
IN: Mellor (already confirmed), Gale, Connor

I would hope it's something like this, and maybe another decent signing too. With the signings Warrington & Wigan are making it need's to be a productive window or we could be in trouble again.

Why does everyone think Crosby will go?
He has 2 years left on his contract and is a Sinfield signing. He'll be in the 17 most weeks if fit next season.

Agreed. The biggest movement would be overseas players. The club are not going to fork out loads of transfer fees, so the only way to get the quality now to improve, is overseas. And the only way of doing that is to shift overseas first.

The overseas players would have to agree to it so not that easy.

The only change I can see is Gale coming in, I think talk of shifting 5-6 contracted players is pie in the sky
