I think young Jack Sinfield is the organising half we need and will replace Sezer sooner or later. Personally I’d still let Austin go - he had a blinder against Cats but actually for Leeds to be a champion side again we need consistency in these key positions.

Hooley is interesting at FB would like to see more of him. Otherwise we could probably do with a quality FB as I’d also let Myler go after this season.

For me if you consider we’ve lost Leeming and we look no worse for it; you could add Myler, maybe Fus, Tet, Donaldson, I’d let Bentley go (marginal), Austin and maybe Sezer. That is a heck of a lot of cap which I would use for upgrading the young players who deserve it and adding a couple of real high quality senior signings.

Don’t get me wrong I’d consider retaining Tet on half the money or maybe Fus if he’s prepared to play for a salary minus the NZ Warriors top-up. Both good players but just not worth the current pay by a mile.

noticed it live and thought it naughty

He gets some treatment Myler.
Wilkin will say the cheat milked it of course.....

tell you what though. his handling and positioning were supurb but that last try when he broke through it looked like his was wearing concrete boots....not many miles left in those legs

Myler is really good at what he’s good at - he’s skilful, smart, brave… but his passing isn’t all that (forward pass denied one try and his pass to Sezer which he finished off later had Sezer stopped dead in his tracks again)… and he lacks pace.

Been a good servant during a turbulent period of Leeds history but he isn’t what we need in the future except maybe as a cheaper squad filler to cover injuries. Credit to him for making such a good switch to FB so late in his career though.

Assuming JoC and CJ make a good fist of Hooker between them, we need to replace at least two of Fullback, Stand Off and Scrum Half next year with younger players with genuine pace.

We have plenty of cap available if we want it and can afford some good players.

Do we think Sinfield is good enough to be one of the two? From what I’ve seen of him he’s looking stronger and has good skills. Doesn’t look particularly fast, elusive or big though (but that didn’t hinder his dad too much).

Can't fault his progress at Hooker and he was sensational in this game...but I remember Sutcliffe keeping Sinny out of the team and a few others besides.
We need to be patient over the next year and see how he goes longer term as our main hooker. I hope he becomes the player he could be.
Great for us and Ireland / England.

I hope with Sinfield we ease him in over the next few years for the obvious reasons.

I'd sign Austin again if he keeps up this season but Sezar needs replacing,hopefully with a good organising 7 that JS can learn from

We do but you can already see that O'connor has a determined mentality a few levels above sutcliffe.
