Another half is needed but 2nd row options are so poor that it’s having just as big an impact on the team both with and without the ball. Attacking threat near opponents line and bringing the ball out of yardage are non existent in this area.

A big pack that can both defend and move us forward will give us a greater chance of moving up the table, credit to the club for these signings, it might be late in the day but at least they have accepted the urgency, if this is down to KS then credit to him for waking up and smelling the coffee

should have smelt it a lot earlier than he did but 2 good signings. hope it's not too late

Happy on terms of the little I have read in Martin and credit to the club for trying to make things happen.

No idea what money he is on but does this seem like the club are betting on a 3rd marquee spot for next year and then moving for the other Hb we need do people think?

Yep like this one. Skilful and powerful.

Puts a major rocket under Sutcliffe’s bum.

Would be concerned about yet another signing who might have a cloud over attitude to training; but on face value a good signing. We just need Ward to get and stay fit now.

Given Mellor and Martin are in, Ward's fitness should hopefully be a lot less of an issue moving forward.

Assuming we stay up I think we'll see more moves, but a big issue (again) will be letting go some players still under contract (or rather finding anyone wanting them).

Sounds like changes of plans with quotas etc. Hearing Gale deal now done, and announcement this week. See if that happens.

Big risk to be taking if true that.

Do you know what, I think id actually be happy with that, i know its a risk with him being injured but Gale and Lui could work pretty well?

is that for next season or rest of this season as well?

Nah next season I heard.

I'm sure Leeds will build something into Gale contract around his fitness. If hes reasonbly affordable I'm happy with it. He does have class
