He's been a big loss. Huge talent imo.

| Martin might just end up being a casualty of other recruitment decisions being poor. He brings a lot - speed, consistency and goal kicking - but what we desperately lack in the pack is the one thing he doesn't bring, which is physical presence. I can't see us getting the sort of big boppers we need in England so we may have to sacrifice him to free up a quota spot.

| RS saying today Martin has been offered a deal - it's something Blease will be sorting from next week onwards so he's yet to take it as it stands.

| Plenty of 'irreplaceable' players left Salford under Blease and they managed to find replacements that were more than able. We shouldn't pay over the odds to keep Martin, as much as it would be nice for him to stay. The pack needs major surgery and his departure could open doors to signings that will make a real difference.

| Clearly lots of fans want RS gone, but looking at the performance today I am still concerned about that squad.
Almost a first choice side and we still looked clueless at times. Hull were more physical than us.
Blease needs to set the bar much higher. If an incoming player doesn’t look like a top-3 player, don’t sign them. If we have existing senior players who can’t reach that level, move them on.

| We have a couple of young forwards - TNW, Ruan and maybe Littlewood - who should be given a proper chance ahead of some of the numpties currently playing every week. Not sure there's any point playing Frawley ahead of Sinfield either.

| Looks like Luke Keary is available for SL clubs for next season, with Catalans the favourites to sign him. If there's a chance, we should be on the phone right away

I think he’s available to Catalans, a final lucrative oay day in the south of France will always be very appealing to nrl players, they have a history of it

| Does it matter? I'd frankly drop Cameron Smith at the moment. Goudemand doesn't add much, and size apart neither does Sangare. Genuine question back to you, who deserves to keep their place if there was a viable alternative?

Quality player but we don't have the available cap and would be a terrible move for him having to play behind the current Leeds pack.

Not many and you mention viable alternative unfortunatly whats left are kids and adding three will only compound the problem.Smith is really out of form.

| Do you think you will have a look at Jack Walker, think Hull woudl release him, not really sure why he isn't getting a game, for how poor we have been this year, he has been pretty good. Could sign him and release Miller giving you a quota spot.
Id keep Walker at Hull, but Grix for whatever reason isn't a fan, hence him playing reserves and signing a FB from the NRL (although that has fell through)

| Putting kids in is one thing, but they are going to be less strong and less dominant in an already under-par pack. It might help develop them for the future but the novelty for fans will wear off very quickly when we're getting walloped 50-0.
I can't think of any young lads ready for first grade in the pack other than Gannon as we have seen. Hudson still might feature down the line, but he's looking like a 2025 proposition. Next season, along with him, there could be a couple of others knocking on the door.
Re. TNW, I know he has fans but he is not a big player either, especially at prop. He is skilful and a good player, but whether he has the attributes to make it at Leeds remains to be seen - I do hope he does.

In a word, no.
Miller is far better than ack Walker and far less injury prone.
