Shame about Greenwood going to Wigan, a young, quality, experienced back rower is exactly what this team needs.

Wonder who we will get, if anyone?

He hasn't got a game for the ever-poor Titans this year. A bit surprised with that TBH, as he's good ball in hand, but his lateral defence was poor.

So he would’ve fit right in then?

NRL halfbacks were targeting him a bit last year. I can't think why else he hasn't played this year as he was one of their most effective attacking forwards.

Am I right in thinking JJB, Ablett, Delaney and Ferres are all out of contract this season? If so we aren't going to let all 4 go. Maybe 2 of them and move Cam Smith up and sign one.

I know I am in a minority here, as I have trumpeted him from a young age, although I have also stated when needed he hasn't moved on, but I think regardless of injuries or how many back, Cam Smith needs to be starting looseforward for the rest of the season. He looks totally ready, and he needs the platform to show whether he has it or not, then we can make a better decision on him. We need to stop holding him back now, and let him prove himself.

I agree I think Cam Smith is ready and has looked better each time I've seen him, it may have been a blessing in disguise that he's getting more minutes this year than planned due to the injuries, same for Oledski.

just awaiting for Ablett, JJB, Hall and Moon to re-sign, then the 2019 season is looking very good. NOT

I agree regarding Cam Smith. He's not going to improve anymore by playing 19s so therefore needs an opportunity to play Super League now.

He done well when he had chance but there is plenty more to come from him especially as a ball handler.

They need to play him at loose, and let him handle the ball, rather than just a crash and bang and stand up the tackling.

Yes what a disaster if we resign the current England winger and current SL top meter maker and the current holder of Leeds player of the year.

Hall I agree - definitely want him to stay. Moon at stand off isn't working very well though is it? If he wants to stay at 6 I wouldn't be that fussed if he left TBH.

As for JJB and Ablett, if you add Delaney and Ferres do you really think its a good idea to go into next year with all of them rather than at least one of them going and replaced by somebody at least physically fit? If we retain all 4 of them then this time next year we'll probably have the oldest pack we've ever had, at a time when athleticism and fitness are increasingly important in the sport. Thats a recipe for players missing games through injuries, playing half fit and generally contributing less than possibly less talented but physically able forwards.

The first 3 are out of contract. Ferres Has a deal to 2019.
I think there is a decent chance at least 2 will go. With possibly 1 staying a year and Ferres off contract next year, I think we should be looking to sign 2 new forwards for 2019 or possibly 1 with a group of young forwards given deals. Smith will get plenty of game time the way injuries hit these days.
Hall and Moon are the other 2 key ones which can impact the salary cap.

I don't think any of JJB, Ablett or Delaney offer us enough when fully fit to retain, even on the basis that each isn't going to realistically feature in more than 50% of games in a season.

On balance Ferres is looking like a bit of a Richie Eyres in his Leeds days... But let's see if he's able to turn his form around after his long spell of injury before writing him off for good.

if he was as good s Richie eyres i would be happy, he is currently no even as good as Ian Scott from working-ton town.
