| Quote Simmo71="Simmo71"Yep great news.
Puts the Wakey dreamers back in their box.
Really hope Gannon and Holroyd can stay fit.
That could make a big difference to how competitive our pack is.'"
Strange comment really, we offered him a deal, I believe he was close to signing with us or Wigan, or potentially that was his agent just trying to get him a better deal, he decided to stay with Leeds. For what it`s worth I would of had him in a heartbeat, a lot of fans weren`t keen.
The days of Wakey "Dreaming" of signing decent players are over, I`m not sure for instance there is much difference in terms of quality and pedigree between Oledski and Mckmeekan, who Catalan tried there best to keep. We might still have some work still to do to entice players to the club but money isn`t really an issue.

Wish you all the best mate. It would give me great pleasure to see Wakey leaving Cas etc in their rear view mirrors... it will be good for SL to see a club with vastly improved finances progress.

I think it`s like most agents to tout their player to most clubs in order to see what`s on offer.
Agent and player then go to preferred club or clubs and say this is what I can get at Wakefield for example and preferred club then says we can match it or beat that offer and both agent and player walk away happy. I`m sure Wakefield and HKR were at least 2 of the clubs offering him a deal. I also agree that the signings of Makmeekan and Johnstone wouldn`t be cheap and shows real ambition from your club. I think that you possibly need 3 or 4 decent signings and you could be challenging the mid 3rd of the table as opposed to the bottom 3rd going forward.

| Too unprofessional with his weight and has been a bit injury prone recently. So no.
Would love Sneyd though.

For maybe a few games a season before he gets injured again.
And what do we do with Frawley as he`s contracted this season?

| Why would we take Abdul!
As for Wakey, they should concentrate on taking the best/better players from their rival clubs and weakening them whilst strengthening themselves.

It's not really a strange comment.
Wakey fans (granted, not you) came onto a Leeds forum to say that he was 'Wakey bound', obviously trying to goad Leeds fans.
So it was a response to those comments.
Anyway, regardless, he was never really going to go anywhere else, as his interview has confirmed.
But agree with the others above, great to see real ambition from Wakey. I can see you winning a few games this season.

Mik was never going to really go anywhere else it was just a case of everyone being happy with the deal - I don't know this but Ive got a feeling its been done for quite a while and they've just delayed the announcement
There's a few Hull KR fans backtracking on their opinion on him now as some were sure he was joining Rhys.
