Are we signing Young and Cunningham? Young would be an improvement on Golding.

Cunningham is not signing for Leeds, if anyone follows his stories on social media... they'll understand why.

Peteru was simply unlucky last year freakish injuries, think he will go very well next year, be surprised if Cuthbo goes was the best forward in super league in 2015 and not far off in 2017 and is rates highly as a potential coach. Garbutt maybe its simply the injuries and the club feel he will get injured more next season, maybe something more happening there.

what a player who is older than Golding, never played higher than league one. God i know some fans have it in for Golding and he is some peoples favorite scape goat especially since Walkers "i want to play fullback " tantrum, but to say a player who has never played at even championship level is a better option.

Walkers "I want to play fullback" tantrum? you do talk some nonsense with your agenda against the lad.

Walker never had a tantrum at any time. He simply said he wanted to concentrate on playing fullback as he felt it was the best opportunity for him to break into the first team. He knew he was better than Golding. Look how that turned out for him, he was spot on right, what a way to back yourself.

Garbutt> Taupau
Cuthbertson> Fensom

I'd like to keep Parcell and Garbutt but if we can manage to get Taupau I'd let them both go for him.

In the meantime Taupau hangs around on the off chance we can move on 2 contracted players? Sorry, don't see that happening.

I like Walker at FB. If he can improve his physicality he's a great prospect - especially in a better quality team going forward. It might take another year or two but I'm genuinely positive about the future. The younger lads need real quality to bring them through into 1st grade and maximise their potential.

The issue with Walker was that Leeds wanted to offer him a part time contract - he believed he was worth a full time contract as did a number of SL clubs. Leeds gave in.

Not sure who you heard that one from Sal, but it isn't true. He was offered a full time contract from Leeds on the first offer. It was a poor offer, but full time all the same. Others offered bigger contracts. However, he wanted to be at Leeds, and just wanted the opportunity to back himself for first team, which he did, and a revised offer was made by Leeds and accepted.

Unless his agent is lying on a live podcast - which I doubt. I suggest you are wrong.

Well, I am 100% confident I am right, so either the podcost was heard wrong or there is a mix of words.

I suggest you listen to last week's full 80 - Craig Harrison quite clearly outlined what happen to Jack Walker - I am not saying I have any further info other than that - I might be old but my hearing is still pretty good.

I'm struggling to understand why we'd be looking to offload Parcell unless the player himself wants to leave.
It's very unlikely we'd be able to secure a replacement of similar quality.

In the modern game the Hooker is one of the most important positions, if he leaves strengthening other positions will not improve us.

He was nowhere near as effective in his second season as he had been in his first - maybe through injury - the fact is he looked pretty average in 2018

how the pack was fairing in the respective seasons will have had no small bearing on that.

Yes, in a nutshell Craig Harrison basically said, "He was asked to do an extension at the time, in the last year of his contract, offer was part time, turned it down but wanted to stay at Leeds, got other offers, eventually got the deal at Leeds"

He then slightly changes it to "There was an offer, cant discuss it, but it wasnt neither here nor there"

Not sure about that but it could be a factor - I think other teams have worked him out, that plus injuries maybe

A lot of parcels game is based around his pace from quick play of the balls and capitalising on gaps. There was precious little of that from our pack last season.

So in other words he has been worked and other clubs have negated his ability by better organisation around the PTB. Unfortunately Parcell limited skill set was exposed - which in part explains why he is playing in SL and not in the NRL

No. He doesn’t have a limited skill set at all and he played many games last season at a high standard.

There’s isn’t, nor will there ever be, a dummy half whose games isn’t effected by a set of poor forwards.

So you are saying any hooker can play behind a dominant set of forwards - so how do decide which are the better players - why is Roby so well regarded you can hardly Saints have or ever have had a dominant pack

Sal, our pack was appalling last year. Parcell still had some great games. He wasn’t poor like some are making out, the team, overall was.

If he goes, whoever comes in will not be of equal or superior standard, that’s my concern.

We conceded a ton of yardage defending the ruck. One of the (many) reasons our pack struggled going forward was having to start sets so close to our line. I'd be looking to sort this too.
