If the youth is good enough then Evans won't be able to block them. If they aren't then he provides cover at a low cost.

I just don't get your issue. It just sounds like you want to moan about something.

How low have this club's ambitions slumped to?
Donaldson, Crosby, L Briscoe, Albert and now Evans. Bargain basement deals everyone of them.
Play off contenders. Not a hope.

In a salary cap sport you need these sort of players to cover your squad I'm 90% confident that none of those players you've listed will be earning 50k are year Crosby might be only one, you can't have quality all along your squad if you've chose to ignore are international standard signings we've captured as well in the likes of Hurrell, Gale, Martin and Prior, the club can't do right from wrong sometimes with some fans.

If we hadn't buggered up the academy so spectacularly over the last 5-10 years then we wouldn't need signings like this one. Sinfield has a huge job on rebuilding the whole club, not just the first team. We are around 2-5 years away from having a ready made production line of youth coming through that would challenge for the first team, so until that happens we will have to make signings that might appear less than inspiring sometimes.

Briscoe is off contract at the end of the year so if he's has crap as ypu say then he won't be getting a new deal.If Stevens is has good as you think then he's only got Evans the journey man your words and Briscoe who is done your words infront of him.So if he cant get passed these two then he probably isn't going to make it.

On a more positive note, what are the four lads we are rumoured to be getting like? Names mentioned unofficially are Holroyd, Mustapha, Johnson and is it Walton????

Cannot disagree with any of that.

Holroyd & Mustapha are no nonsense fwds plenty of bang in both.
Walters is a tall athletic BR big unit who does big minutes stood toe to toe with the Aussie jnrs & came out on top.
Corey Johnson is a quality smart young 9 very much like Darryl Clark but can also cover HB.

Yea thats it i just fancied a moan nothing to do with another pointless Sinfield bargain getting a shirt.
Evans is a class signing thank god he can cover our backline and is so good at it.

Cheers. Just throwing a question in here regarding your debate about whether your youth is ready to step up. We now have 1 FB, 4 three quarters and two half backs before we dip into reserves which are mainly academy and lads too old and none of them seem anywhere near playing, however your young lads don’t even seem to get mentioned in coming across. Bearing in mind the lack of any backs we have is this saying that both coaching staff groups think your young backs aren’t even ready for Champ rugby yet? Just a question to add to your debate about youth or Evans

How are leeds going to be able to field a reserves next year?

I am not getting involved in right or not, as there is no doubt we needed strengthening in the area. However, an example Caton Brown is available free, and he would have been a much better option.

Agar has gone with a player who he has coached so he'll know his strengths and flaws.

Really changes nothing of the point though.
