I would disagree I don’t even think he looks like Tarzan. He was fine as a rotation squad player when we had peacock Kyle etc but nowhere near the standard for first choice prop

Championship standard!

Apparently we've made an improved offer for Wellington Albert.

An improved offer? He's not got a club has he?

Bidding war with Toronto

Fallen a long way has this club.

Agree,we have plummeted so very bad.
We have to take on board that this is a very poor team.I have watched Leeds for over 55years and can honestly say this is an extremely sad period for the club

Oh give over, we’ve had a bad start to the season and had a few tough years on the field but the club is in a healthy state, we’ve got a world class Rugby stadium nearly finished, were in a healthy state business wise, we’ve got a great crop of youngsters coming through, if you look at where we are now to where we were in 1996 were in a much better position to rebuild the first team playing squad but to say its a sad period for the club is utterly ridiculous IMO

I was just going to say give over myself. Couldn’t give a crap about stadium myself, and think it has distracted us, but whilst I feel the squad is not good enough, I actually think we are in a better position now than 2016, and we won the GF the year after. It’s not doom and gloom long term, just now. This period was always coming, and it was always going to take time to rectify the McDermott latter years. People under estimated the damage he was doing along with the rest of management of the club, and this was continually pointed out by fans. This is what we are seeing the results of now.

If we signed the boot, his salary wouldn't count on the cap for the first year of his contract, would it?

That’s a rule for RU players coming to SL. Re: the boot...he would be exempt from all quotas due to his circumstances at Widnes but as far as I know his salary would still be on our cap

I agree we are in a better position than 2016 because we are doing something about the situation and IMO it is quite refreshing to see the management team being honest about it.

I care about the stadium but more from a business point of view, the extra facilities will bring in a lot of revenue. I do agree it's probably distracted the management team a bit though, but it needed doing at some point.
