Don't watch much NRL is Latu any good?

He was a very good prop for Penrith between 2015-17 and played for Tonga as well, he went to Titans for 2018 and 2019 but struggled for form but so has every player for them over the last 3 or 4 seasons he only managed 9 appearances for them in two seasons but that due to him falling out of favour with the Titans coaches.

We have two very good starting props. Mick looks good pre season cuthbo solid and when we have injuries we have Cosby, muzzy and holroyd. I think of injury strikes we are weaker in the back row now Not sure we need to be spending big money on another prop. I must admit not been a big fan of of cam smith but have been impressed in pre season.

For me we need a quality winger if I was going to be spending money

Luke Briscoe is in the Fev squad for the pre-season game at Hull KR. Whether this means Leeds are going with Newman on the wing, or whether they just want Luke to have a run-out from a fitness point of view, who knows.

Tom Holroyd & Muizz Mustapha are also in the Fev squad (even though Holroyd is also in the Leeds squad) as are O'Connor and Broadbent. Corey Johnson isn't. That might shed some more light on imminent moves to Bradford, but then again it might not!

Corey is injured.

Hopefully Holroyd isn't going to the Bulls permanently, I wonder if their recent link up with Hull has changed some of the deals that were going through?

What's the views with all the time Newman is getting on the wing?

I thought he was decent enough against the bulls (mid level championship team for me) but I thought he was making good progress in the centres in what was a very difficult debut season.

I get giving sutty a run out but surely with Rhys signing he and not sutty is our back up centre?

If we feel we need a new winger then get one, don't try shoehorn a young kid in.

Holroyd won’t go permanently, if he does i’ll Hand back my season ticket.

Same as yours. Why sign Evans to provide wing cover only to disrupt the ongoing development of a decent centre? And if Sutty's as indispensable as Agar seems to believe, stick him on the bench.

Looks like Evans is in front of Luke Briscoe as he’s in the squad for Sunday but Briscoe isn’t.

But Evans isn’t a winger. He used to be a winger, not since. Hence the underwhelming comments on his announcement. He will spend more minutes in the backrow come the season start than he will elsewhere.

As for Newman on the wing, completely stunts his development. It is a combination of having weak options there, and the clubs obsession in finding a spot for Sutcliffe no matter what.

I personally think Sutcliffe as looked good in the two games so far, but that doesn’t really excuse the stunting of others. Really, if the obsession was to keep Sutcliffe we shouldn’t have brought Mellor in, as they are almost like for like backrowers anyway.

Really don't know why people are getting all upperty over Newman playing on the wing, some very very good centres and players started out on the wing learning the game better before moving back into their natural posistion, it will help him become a better player without the extra pressure and don't see how it will stunt his develepment by playing half a season or so on the wing, and the side looks more balanced with Sutcliffe and Martin playing inside him. He will end up back at centre before long.
