He'not going to get big minutes Martin generally plays the full 80 and Mellor plays around the 60 minutes. I agree with other posters Donaldson will play before Walters. If Mellor is injured I hope Agar replaces him with Walters and continues to use Donaldson as a bench man.

I know, i'm arguing that that is stupid.

Not missing any point unlike yourself, but as is human nature there will always be some who go against the obvious and you appear one. Enjoy winning the argument with yourself, I'll move on.

OK hun.
You were complaining a Wakefield away game was being taken away from them, at the expense of one of their biggest crowds of the year. Sorry for correcting you by pointing out all the loop games were being played at neutral venues.

New contract for Donaldson. People still adamant he wont make the matchday 17?

Stand back for the , “he’s blocking this n that players progress” comments

For me with everyone fit he wouldnt. I also think if we're going to build a squad capable of
Top 2 & GF's he would be a bit part player at best.
He grafts & has some impact off the bench but as we have seen previously when we go against the bigger & better packs he is too lightweight.

If he can instil some of his attitude and work rate into them he will be doing the opposite of blocking their progress

Bang on Christopher. His attitude and experience is a great benefit to the young players and that should never be underestimated

He’s a very handy squad player. Exactly the type you need.
And clearly very professional. So, it’s a good signing.
But you need a lot more than 17 in the squad.
I don’t believe he’s in the first 17, but he’s valuable back up.

I agree.

If a young player has to work harder and show some additional desire to get past him for a place in the squad then it's not a bad thing at all.

Attitude and hard work is a minimum requirement in fairness.

If you or I played for Leeds we would give our all for the cause. I know deep down im not worthy of a contract though.

Lets not make him out to be better than he is tho. A player like Sam Walters has the potential to be an international down the line and offers much more than Donaldson who in truth makes 10m of ground a game.

Agree he's a solid squad player with a lot of pop (pound for pound) in his tackling. Also agree with Marty's point about lack of metres. I suspect he also doesn't play many minutes, although the minutes he does play are high intensity.

He does an OK job for us in truth but no more than that.

I think that's a bit harsh.
