| I want to know what GH intends to do with the Eastwood situation.
It's going to be next season at the earliest that we get him, which means we're already one down in the forwards this year compared to last (we've essentially lost Ellis without a replacement).
We've got two cap spaces left.
Is GH going to use some of our relatively healthy funds to bring someone in? Should we be prepared to pay a transfer fee for a top player?
One things for sure, I'm not comfortable going the entire season with the squad we've got now in terms of burn out and fatigue.

| Have Leeds replaced Scruton yet? Last year he was one of the five props regularly used throughout the season. If the answer to that question is Ambler, why haven't we seen him have a run yet?
Joe Chandler got the game V Castleford last year, is he still around?

| This should have been the first chance to try out young Luke Ambler imo.

| Leeds' 5 props in 2008 (from a potential 35 games = 140 prop appearances assuming 2+2 bench)
Leuluai - 32
Peacock - 32
Bailey - 24
Scruton - 30
Burgess - 21
Total 139
Leeds 4 props in 2009 (from a potential 7 games so far)
Leuluai - 7
Peacock - 7
Bailey - 6
Burgess - 7
As injuries and fatigue (which itself contributes to injuries) sets in someone is going to have to make the numbers up but who?

Being comfortably outscored by Castleford at the moment, how embarrassing is that.

| There's also young Dane Manning on the fringes of the first team squad, who if he develops as expected is going to be a cracking player.

That's correct plus liam brown and luke hardbottle.
As for GH doing anything about it he's already stated IF the right player is available then we'll be in a position to move for him if not then he won't buy for the sake of it and given GH's record at leeds who can argue with that.

I do agree with the way Hetherington does things - you hear a whole load of nonsense on here about players signing for people but GH keeps his cards close to his chest and only ever reveals anything when it's certain.
Which I'm sure is the case here.
Doesn't stop me from wondering mind!
