Is myler leaving ? XD

Lolohea may want to play in the halves, but he's not a game manager. Neither is Myler. There's a reason he never got a game there for the Tigers and was playing full back in reserve grade (his lack of fitness helps explain why he didn't get a first grade game there either).

It is understood several current first team squad members – including Ashton Golding, Adam Cuthbertson, Matt Parcell, Anthony Mullally, Mitch Garbutt, Jack Ormondroyd and Josh Walters – would be allowed to leave if another club came in for them.

So Mullally, Walters and Ormondroyd do have new deals then.

Yet more none news or 'news' with little basis.

Of course we are looking to offload players. We were rubbish last season and changes are needed.

I would suggest 75% of our squad are probably available if people are interested. Those names mentioned are just plucked off the wider Twitter/Facebook rumour mill.

It's fine to speculate, it's fun, but just don't believe it until Leeds confirm it.

Very interesting to see Cuthbertson on the list, but I thought it was a mistake giving a 33-year old a 2 year deal in the first place. He and Garbutt both being 'available' suggests the front row is seen as the key problem area, and that replacements have been identified. Presumably a hooker replacement for Parcell as well (or at least a plan).

Whilst we can't do it with everyone, I'd suggest those who we really consider not good enough at all (Mullally, Golding, Walters) should be told in no uncertain terms that there's no future at Leeds, and that if they insist on seeing out their contracts they'll be on loan all season in the lower leagues. That should encourage them to look elsewhere. We've had far too many players hanging around the squad for years only getting games due to injuries and its a recipe for mediocirty. There should be a minimal number of players in the squad who are genuinely only around for backup, and even the younger ones should have a short shelf-life - either grab a place when given the chance or go elsewehere.

Fallon - I haven't seen Peter Smith mention names in this context before? I'd be surprised if he hasn't heard them from the club, otherwise why not just say "a number of players'?

Anyway, as you say its all fun. Whilst not something you want to do every year, lots of movement or even rumours creates interest and excitement. Whilst the club was generally awful in the 80s, the pre-seasons included lots of talk about signings and departures and helped create the belief things would be different. After this season thats no bad thing.

I can understand Cuthbo and Golding to some extent. Cuthbo is a shadow of the player he was. Parcell I would keep but I suppose he's taking a quota spot up and they must have a couple of better players lined up. Golding I like but it's a waste of cap because Jack Walker is the better player and having both unfortunately isn't possible in sal cap era. Garbutt is quality when fit but he's never fit and again he's overseas quota... interesting times. Not sure what this will do for morale though if some of these stay.

Correct re morale - thats why those that the club really wants rid of cannot stay hanging around at Headingley. Those that stay should be fully part of the team, and with the right management they'll get over being deemed potentially surplus to requirements.

The only thing that concerns me is it sounds like we’re happy to go round again with our aging and injury prone back row. Which for me was an even bigger problem than our front row.
Martin Taupau would be class. Crosby is a good replacement for Galloway. If we keep garbutt then along with Singleton, Peteru (who I actually thinks been pretty good from what we’ve seen), cuthbertson amd okedski we have good options there.
However, back row is much less impressive. I actually think we need 2 quality back rows to look strong.

I'm surprised we'd let Parcel and cuthbertson go if we didn't have replacements lined up, especially for Parcel

All those names have been doing the rounds on Facebook for a few days.

I would suggest Sinny isn't the type to be giving reporters a load of off the record names but if you stay clear of players like Watkins and ward you've got a decent chance of hitting a player that will be available in the right circumstances.

Agree that all the talk of change is exciting but some do get a little carried away on no substance news, the furner thread been a case in point.

One thing for sure it’s been the most interesting off season in ages

Honestly won’t be surprised

Golding > Young (Newcastle)
Parcell > Cunningham (London), Johnson
Mullally, Ormondroyd, Walters > Crosby, Holroyd, Mustapha, Smith, Dupree.
Garbutt > ????
Cuthbertson > ????

If we're letting Parcel and Golding go id want better replacements than Lower league "projects".
We need another Prop as it stands IF Garbutt and Cuthbo go we'd need 2 and another BR.
