You are probably right.
I’m
Guessing Zak replaces Briscoe in the squad and edwards comes back onto the cap.
If we lose Mellor, Dwyer, Thompson, Muizz and Broadbent, there should be a bit of space for 2 decent signings hopefully.
For mine, 1 prop is needed. For the other one I think it’s less clear what position to go for. Someone with some attacking threat and class. Sutty was good last night but a class footballing centre never hurts but neither would a really good forward.
Be interesting to see how many we bring in. I think will only be 2 inc 1 overseas.

Dont think we will bring in many either, we showed last night the squads not as bad as we thought, another prop or 2 props maybe a top Half as Sezar is poor but will reserve judgment until after he goes under RS

Sezer, when fit, isn't poor. Home game against Warrington he practically dragged 12 men over the line to victory. Unfortunately he did his groin in that game and played with a lot pain for six weeks, probably to please a desperate coach. The fact that he is still out shows what a debilitating injury it was. When he comes back he'll go well.

As i said i’l reserve judgement, but well we lost against Warrington so he dint drag us to victory, he looked good at first at Huddersfield then looked disinterested, he looked disinterested so far for us, he didn’t look like a player carrying on injured, but give him benefit of the doubt.

I hope he does come good and RS gets him playing like he did when he first arrived at Huddersfield

Didn't look disinterested to me. Looked like he had a real problem moving. A big issue for any athlete. He might not have looked injured to you, but the fact is - he was. Anyway, let's hope he has a real fight to get back in. If all fit we should have players really having to perform for a starting spot at Full Back, Centre and Half Back.

Obviously people who have never played rugby or football will not know anything about groin injuries. Certainly if you have ever had one you would realise Sezer was handicapped to the point he could not run. Bad management rather than bad player.

I've no problem with Austin for another year - he's shown some decent glimpses at times and has a good kicking game.
Sezer needs to get fit and have a run of games before we judge him.
And if Zak keeps his nose clean (literally.....) I could see him getting another year. He's a real attacking threat at FB.

We all know front row is the problem.
We still don't know if Holroyd can stay fit (but we do know he can punch now....).
Long minutes has made Prior look exhausted last few weeks, but remember how good he was last season.
If we get enough bodies for the correct rotation, Prior is still useful for another year.
I think Rohan will start to get more out of Tetevano. He wasn't used properly by Agar. He should be an impact prop.
Again, too many minutes in games, because we've only had 2 props in the matchday squad!
I thought he had his best game for Leeds against Wire.

Bring in a young, hungry prop from the Queensland Cup comp with Rohan's connections.
Then a back up British 6th prop to cover injuries (and suspensions...)
And we're starting to look OK for next season.

Yeah good post, fully agree. There’s a very good player in Tet…..somewhere!
And Zak is Zak. He’ll be too good for most defence’s…..

Agree totally

Played and had a groin injury, yes it’s painful and restrictive, lets see how he goes, when fit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets “homesick” i’m just not convinced he wants to be here at all, but lets see how it pans out. Yes he’s a good player “when fit” and committed!

This is now confirmed by the club.

Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see him being an impact prop. Doesn't have the size or strength to break tackles like say Kasiano does....

Austin was up for a charge. Contact with the referee? Any one know why, Only thing i can think off was he tapped the ref on the arm to ask him him something, the ref answers and he walked away. Unless it’s something else

Case Number:
ON/998/22

Blake Austin #6, Leeds

Competition:
Super League

Match:
Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos

Match Date:
2022-06-03

Incident:
Contact with the Referee

Decision:
No charge

Charge Detail:
Footage inconclusive as to any contact. Player is not aggressive, and action is fleeting.

Tetevano is just a solid up and down prop - no flashy offloads or line breaks. None of our props really bend the line just through size, and we generally get rolled backwards in defence for the same reason.

Watching the Wire game halfback is going to be interesting. Myler had some lovely touches but also long spells with not much going on. Austin was the one calling the shots and moving the forwards around. Will be interesting to see what happens when Sezer is fit, but right now I'd be looking at Myler off the bench instead of Dwyer. Dwyer brings energy but not a lot of quality (even if he didn't throw any shockers against Warrington there were still times he opted to run when a quick pass would have been better).

I'm hoping it's Johnson of the bench in the very near future.
