I need to see more of A Sutcliffe to form an opinion but I can see Broadbent coming past him into the centres this season, and we are stacked in the back row already. He is a very good defender though - maybe a Donaldson apprentice, who knows.

Broadbent has to do more pace better hands and feet. I just hope Broadbent gets a decent chance at centre. Hurrell from I've read could be out for a few weeks. Apparently he has torn his calf. The article said he's been struggling preseason with it but doesn't say when he tore it. If it's a grade 1 tear then 1 to 2 weeks, grade 2 to 4 to 6 weeks grade 3 to 4 months.

Hurrell's size and conditioning makes this no surprise sadly..

Surely anyone can tear a hamstring regardless of conditioning. Jai Field mightve torn his last night and hes hardly a fatwhack.

Weve certainly had a bad start with the numbers we have out. Hopefully it gives an opportunity to Broadbent but i wouldnt be suprised to see Briscoe and Sutcliffe boys today if halves are Eastmond and Gale.

Cmon Leeds.

Would be a bit odd reading a team sheet with three quarters of Briscoe, Sutcliffe, Sutcliffe, Briscoe...

Odd and worrying.....

Can you see those four up against Grace, Naiqama, Percival and Makinson?

I would think a minimum of 2 years but hopefully longer both should be pack regulars for years.

Yeah true, but increased chances of you are carrying too much timber, and longer recovery times.....

Only 150k counts but they have to be paid more than 175k, I am fairly sure that if its a home grown player only 100k would count instead of the 150k, for example Sinfield in his playing days

75K according to the Salary cap regulations for home trained.

The resigning of Hurrell is a complex conundrum according to Leeds Live. I like Hurrell but is he a luxury we now don't need. When he signed we were desperate for a centre but now we have Sutcliffe Newman Broadbent and A Sutcliffe. I doubt very much he'll be offered the same big money deal he's on. I am also sure they will be plenty of interest from other clubs as he his box office. It will be interesting to see what Agar and Sinfield decide.

I agree 100%.

Yes we have more options but out of those listed only Newman is on a par or better than Hurrell IMO, whilst Im not sure he should be marquee a few other clubs might think the opposite and id be sad to see him go.
