I'd rather have the correct type of backrower.

The problem is finding one ,or if we can't get a short season loan or 1yr deal so we aren't bogged down with another workhorse for 2-3 years

IMO Presley Cassell will make his first team debut in 2025
He's a very talented young player and one who could play selected games next season without a doubt

Great news i believe you have more intel than us mere mortals please keep on giving.

Or he's just read the published media reports directly quoting Blease.

If you call more intel reading what he’s said in the press? then yes i have more intel.

The club have also posted Glynn printing Brodies training gear, so I’m really sorry for you it looks like he’ll be here next year.

Yeah that's a bit light isn’t it.. I think we’ve enough for top 6 if injuries don’t hit too hard but that second row needs beefing up to push for top 3

Someone said Gannon has bulked up.
I always thought he might make a prop as he gets older, in the way JP and Morley did.
Probably a bit early (and risky with the head knocks), but I could see it happening in the future if he can stay fit.

Half back I reckon...

I've always thought he's a natural for a modern day thirteen. If,and it's a big if, he can get past his concussion issues I think he could really put pressure on Cam Smith. I don't think Smith is a bad player but potential wise Gannon's ceiling is much higher. However, for the moment I think we need to take it one step at a time and ease him back in (bit by bit) as a bench second row.

couldn't agree more. he looks a natural 13

Smith does a huge amount of tackles. With Gannon coming back after a year off with concussion issues I wouldn't think making him a tackling machine would be a good idea. Hope to see him as more of an attacking threat. Really haven't seen enough of him in a Leeds shirt to know how good he really is however it looks like the club has confidence in him long term.

Yep, and that's why I said they should reintroduce him as a bench second row. That said, if he gets beyond the concussion, I think 13 will eventually be his optimal position.

Are we at the stage now with Gannon where another head knock is game over or does the prolonged lay off mean that next time he has a head knock, his slate has been wiped clean and he can be treat like Handley or Miller were they to have a head knock?

No way to know would my guess,we don't know the particulars

How the club would choose to manage it and the game's protocols might be two different things.
I think the bigger question might revolve around how often the decision needs making.
To quote Barry McGuigan "once you've lost that ability to take a shot you never, ever get it back". I think he's spot on wrt boxing but not sure about RL. My guess is that there are some players that are susceptible to being concussed though probably a lower percentage than in boxing. I'm not talking about Morgan specifically in this last bit I should add - hopefully his recovery is now complete.
