Heard this interview with Trent Merrin on BBC radio Leeds and its worth a listen as he seems very positive about joining the Rhinos
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06xfhmp
Merrin seems like he's going to be our new leader going forward IMO based on both his reputation and role at both St George/Illawarra & Penrith.
He certainly seems like a guy that wants to bring the players closer together and create that special bond that any successful side needs in its side.
Merrin hasn't laced a boot for the club yet and I certainly wouldn't wish to upset Kallum who is our current captain, but would anyone be surprised if he was named our club captain moving forward?
I'm feeling very optimistic about having Merrin at the Rhinos (Kiss of death for him there then)  |

I think the captaincy will (and probably should) stay with Watkins. As we have seen at Leeds for many a year, you don't necessarily need to have the name of captain to be a leader within the group- see JP, Senior etc.

Thought Myler had been named club captain or was that just for one game?

Does Trent Merrin have the potential to become our best loose forward in the Super League era? (considering Sir Kevin Sinfield as a stand off)

excluding Sinfield, possibly, i hope he is a bigger fitter younger version of Marc Glanville. A real no nonsense grafter will a bit of skill and some extra oomph, that ill do for me. |

The key for me is the team having the nous to take advantage of the opportunities Merrin could create. I'd like to see Tui, Myler, Parcell, Walker getting in around our forwards and taking some second phase. In theory we have a pack made for handling and multi-phase. What doesn't work is giving the ball to your individual star player/s and then saying "off you go then, do something".

Is that from Brian McDermotts coaching manual.

To be fair McD did get quite a lot right during his tenure...
If Holroyd, Dupree and Mustapha were another year or two older I'd be feeling much more cocky but we're lacking big angry things. |

Sure Segeyaro said same. I expect him to see season out but I would be surprised if he's at Leeds next season.
He's a good forward but I don't see him sticking around beyond 12 months.

If he is going to go at the end of the season fair enough for me. Just hope he has the decency to tell the club of his intentions before the summer and give us a chance to find a half decent replacement. Our biggest issue last few years has been not being able to identify the right players early enough and by the time we do start looking about the best players are gone and we are picking up scraps.
