haha, who said it was down to our wingers?

i said we were a far better team with our 2 usual wingers but Handley has actually done a fine job filling in on one side. We have far more problems than on the flanks, but we are strong there when we have everyone fit,just pointing that out.

After the recent 4 year deal he has signed with Wakey of course he is!

You mean the one he signed in October last year, and announced in December? The one before this season even started and had such a good year?

Fair point - I think Solomona is the best finisher in SL and he would be in my side before either Hall or Briscoe. If you want your wingers to do the forwards job then Manfredi is your man.

Right, now we have given everyone a few points start, we are going to start to play now. We are following the Leicester City strategy. The great escape of 2014-15 followed by a long run of wins

Edited post.

Well that's our one more win out of the way...can't see where our next win will come from now....

To overtake Wakefield, Leeds would need to win 5 out of their next 8 fixtures and overcome a 127 point deficit whilst Wakefield need to lose all 8 of their next 8 fixtures.

I've already stated my opinion on the possibility of that happening earlier in the thread.

Does anyone on here know much about the contracts players sign these days?

The basis of my question is whether a player signs a contract to play for Leeds In any league or are the contracts Super League related?

In simple terms, if Leeds get relegated does each member of the first team squad become a free agent?

Yes

Thanks. I would expect that should Sharpen the board's focus.

That does bring up an interesting question. Do the people running the club fell they've accomplished all they want or need to? Do they care enough after doing and winning so much? Was the treble the last objective?

I would hope and expect that the fear of this is driving the current planning. Hopefully, not rushing anyone back who is 50/50 and trying to build through the last 6 games post Catalan at home to get some wins and enter the middle 8's in much better form. 1 or 2 signings even if just to year end may also help.

I am back drinking from my half full glass.

i think that there is certainly some sense to that. Id be very surprised if all the big names we are missing right now would still be missing if we were in the last two months of the season going for a treble again.
