Not signing a prop can't be an option. Most sides run with a minimum of six props and we now have four including Prior. It would be cruel (not to mention impossible) to ask four players to bare the brunt of a 30 game season. One solid Ava type prop and we can start to really rattle some cages this year, never mind next. Hands up who had heard of Ava before he was signed? There will be someone out there and I suspect Kev and Agar are talking to them.

Thought I'd join the in the off-season discussion/banter....
Agree with a lot of comments on here.
Clearly front row is our priority.
We need to replace Ava directly with an available NRL option - I reckon Kev is on this.
We also need a seasoned British prop to replace Cuthbo/Crosby - the likes of Dudson or even Flower would have been good, or maybe Kopszak?
Or T Burgess, L Thompson, Watts - we can dream....
Not sure about Casty, too old - we may as well have kept Cuthbo for another year.
6 can wait til next year - I think we can live with Lui for next season and hopefully Long can get the best out of him.
I like Connor - he's got something about him.
But agree - he has too many games where he goes missing, can't afford that at 6.
He's no Danny Mags!
But again, maybe if Long had his hands on him....
PS - I live in York, grew up watching York as a young lad with my Dad, before starting to follow Leeds in the 80's.
I'll be watching Cuthbo and the other new recruits next season in the new stadium and hoping for a push for Super League in the next 3-5 years....
Cheers,
Simmo.'"

Agree. Waiting until mid season is a big gamble and we could be up against it by then if injuries bite. Could be too late. We need to bring a good prop in over next month |

If we bring someone in to fill the gap, it should be a loan or a 1 year deal. I agree that we need to stop with the short term signings. We had to make some short term signings 18 months ago to keep us afloat. Signings should to the most extent move the quality of the squad forward

Living in Australia I’ve seen a bit of Levi, very good player, good defender but has the odd brain fart in him, super league will suit his game more than the structure of the nrl, his last coach at Manly (Des Hasler) was the wrong type of coach for his game, a little bit of freedom will see him be a very good hooker for Leeds |

Pete Smith tweeted Leeds are not expecting any problems. They’re in regular contact.

He's still being talked about in all the social media etc. - hopefully he's still coming.
Agree with previous poster: worst-case scenario is we push Prior up to prop and play Cam Smith at 13. We do have some options but Ava was really solid - at the moment we have just swapped one decent prop for a slightly better one, but we struggled last year up front.

Agree. We also had Ward playing well in the back row early doors and Cuthbo. Neither of which we have now |
