Hudson was supposed to be the replacement for Walters.
Terrible business so far.
And we haven't replaced Tetevano.
Guess what - we're massively short up front.

Fusitua out fir 8-10 weeks Time to pay him off and look at getting someone else in for test if season as we have no out n out wingers. Should never have been re signed bad business all round. https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/rugb ... 058673.amp

Yep

Agree with Rollin... terrible business to retain him, absolutely laughable. Paying him off still is included in the cap i believe..

You've got to feel for Fusitu'a, but he's been a bit of a disaster for the club. Maybe time to look at a loan signing, unless Edgell or one of the other young players can cover there. Teams don't seem to use wing as a place for kids to learn anymore, maybe its just become too specialised?

Should have never been signed in the first place. he was injury prone when we signed him.

So he's going to beat his record on games played in the negative.
Excellent.

We should have let him go at the end of last year and brought in a UK winger and an O/S prop.
Poor recruitment decision.
And this is not hindsight, this was totally predictable.

Someone like Swift would have been a good signing at the start of the season and like you say bring in an overseas prop.
I also feel us missing out on Fitzgibbon was a bad mistake.

It's all irrelevant anyway, Smith has got the spine he's hand picked and we are still a shambles.

At least Hall solves the wing issue, gets us a QS and likely decent chunk of cap space.

Anything less than quality signings in 25 can't be blamed on cap/QS etc

List of 28 Leeds players currently playing in the Super League in an article this week. Wonder how we would get on against this team which interestingly has 6 props in it!
Couldn't even find room for Dwyer lol

Hardaker
Briscoe
Macdonald
Hurrell
Hall
Lolehea
Leeming
Harrison
Parcell
Mulhern
Dupree
Watkins
Sutcliffe

Mcshane
Ormondroyd
Walters
King V

While most of them are too old or still of questionable value, the number of quality forwards in their 20s is alarming, given the weaknesses in our current pack. I thought Mulhern and Harrison both showed promise for us, why did we get rid? Letting go of Dupree also seems to have been a big mistake by Leeds.

Crikey come on. Vast majority of that list we were right to let go. Hall we couldn't / wouldn't afford to bring back when he returned from NRL. Walters we didn't want to leave. Dupree was a miss but he could have attitude problems (or did), who knows.

I'd literally take any of those props back in a heartbeat
