The inference is that Handley will be the starting winger.... Makes me wonder why briscoe signed a 3 year deal, I took from that that he would be the starting winger

Looks that way, at least for the season's start. I suspect Briscoe joined on a low salary with perhaps a dangled carrot that if he could displace Handley by next year then the 5 shirt - and probably a £ upgrade - would be his. I think if I was him that would seem a gamble worth pursuing.

Full time contract versus part time at Fev?

I don't think that is the case, just he has been at the club in and around the first team squad longer than L briscoe so gets a higher squad number, think L briscoe and handley will fight it out in the off season to see who gets the starting shirt.

Is Watkins fully fit yet? Or will he miss the start of the season?

Thought Ormanroyd was already gone, thought he had gone to York for some reason, him and walters definitely championship at best players. not sure what your other 2 are, i assume one will be Mullally

Don’t think anything at all in the Briscoe & Handley rebate. See BJB and Briscoe previously.

Yes I don't think any of the players you mention offer something which an academy prospect couldn't. Mullally has looked OK in patches to be fair to him.
I expect to see something of Holroyd and Newman this year to be honest. I just get the sense that Leeds have made a big heave, but haven't quite got over the line yet with reorganising the squad - tantalisingly close. Maybe one of two of the injury cloud/question marks will sort themsevles out this year, I'm an optimist.

The young lads will be ambitious to make first grade and putting plenty of pressure on the established players. I would imagine there will be another couple of changes through the course of the season, but there will be another handful of departures for definite for 2020 season (we know about JJB already)...

Hurrell is on the plane and on his way.

Hurrell will be modelling the new away shirt on Saturday, doing his first interviews + press

Get rid of squad members 26, 27 and 28 and I was told we get our new prop forward. As everyone on here says they are Championship players at best so why having full time contracts will they move to part time Championship clubs. GH throwing money around on poor quality players. A big if and its only a rumour, I understand Our old coach is looking at two of the players mentioned LOL , if only that was true.

Mullally and Golding would be great for Toronto
