I thought we did Ok without Sinfield earlier this season, or was it my imagination? From what I've sen if you go back to two halfbacks rather than however many Leeds seem to want to put on the field (up to 4 at the same time), then I don't have a problem with Sutlcliffe and McGuire being given the role to start with. It takes time to learn how to control a game, but the only place to do it is on the field, not on the bench watching an NRL never-was running around.

I just see zero point in signing a substandard NRL half for next year.

I completely agree. At the start of the season Kev wasn't playing that well and the Sutcliffe McGuire partnership looked to be blossoming. Its only since Kev said he's leaving that he's really kicked on. Yeah we'll miss Kev's goal kicking but show some faith and Sutcliffe and Hardaker and get a specialist coach in. Theuve both got potential to be good kickers but probably need to fine tune their techniques...after all, Kev wasn't the greatest to start with but worked hard to improve.

Also, Zak has a massive kick on him so using him as a clearing kicker could cover that area.

When a legend leaves its hard to replace them with like-for-like. We saw it when Harris went. Instead, you look at how others can step up and fill roles.

If much rather see Sutcliffe and Lilley given goes, and maybe Golding to see how he does there. We've seen Warrington and Wigan give their young halves a go and whilst they might be consistent yet, the exposure to SL will make them better in the long run

But confirms we are in the hunt for a quality half. Widdop might happen after all.

With 2016 memberships going on sale next week I wonder if we'll announce any signings.

I would've thought any signing would be announced after the semi final. Thereby either compounding good news or countering bad news.

The pool of available halves from NRL is diminishing with Hodkinson likely going to Knights and Rooberts to Titans. Sandow is still available but Wire seem favourites. No doubt Gary will produce something from his sleeve, what about Dureau?
