Best of luck to him. He probably needed a change and at Leeds he'd continue to be 4th or 5th prop.

19 Players shipped out of the 31 squad since 2018.Sinfield is certainly the hatchet man.

Just shows how much dross we'd accumulated. Apart from a fit Watkins I can't say any of them are big losses.

What I found surprising was that he was the longest serving player at the club!
That honour now falls to Stevie Ward

Its like the 80s all over again....

Does that mean I can go back to happily supporting a team that won't win anything?

Credit to Sinfield, but he does now need to start making signings. There must be a large amount of cap space available.

Absolutely no point making panic signings though if we’re going to end up in revolving doors again. We’ve shown we can make really good mid-season signings (Ali springs to mind plus the ones from last season).

Begin with the end in mind. IF we get a player of the right quality for Leeds, absolutely. Looks like we have at least a prop and possibly another hooker coming anyway. That in mind, our squad looks competitive.

I’m just feeling very resistant to the Jordan Thompson type signing when we have good youngsters coming up.

Much will depend this year on the fitness of Gale, Ward,
Crosby. Also I’d like to see more from Oledski, Smith, Walker. Handley, Holroyd, Newman - all of whom have a lot of improvement in them and should be stepping up.

With a Kamgaroos tour next year I’d expect a fair few Leeds lads are targeting that.

Perhaps this is a made-up story, but didn't Singleton allegedly throw his toys out of the pram concerning the salaries of the marquee players at the club? If so he's going to love being in the same team with SBW!

He's just never developed the necessary physicality to develop into the pack leader he was earmarked to be.
He gave his all, but just not good enough

Anthony Mullally, Brad Singleton, Joshua Walters, Jack Ormondroyd, Brett Ferres, Kallum Watkins, Matt Parcell, Tuimoala Lolohea, Ashton Golding, Shaun Lunt, Nathaniel Peteru, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Carl Ablett all gone with 12 months. Added Ryan Hall, Joel Moon, Brett Delaney, Mitch Garbutt, Jimmy Keinhorst, Keith Galloway, Jordan Lilley, Joshua Jordan-Roberts within 24 months.

19 of these players were in the squad in 2018 that broke the salary cap.

And with the exception of hall and moon all those players were not of the required quality to play for Leeds at the time they left, some never were.

Hatchet man Sinfield hard at work.

Taking their time to announce this one. Might be tomorrow at the Toronto Wolfpack SBW launch in London.

Hopefully it is a done deal - no disrespect to a good servant of the club but it is the right time, he's never really stepped up to fill JP's boots in a meaningful way.

Again credit to KS, he's had a heck of a job on his hands managing this huge transition (I can't remember as complete a squad overhaul as this before). There are lots of tough conversations he'll have had to have behind the scenes. Can't disagree with much he's done since coming in through IMHO.

It wouldn't surprise me if we have signed an overseas prop subject to Rhyse getting his PNG passport through.

Likewise we may well have done the Singleton deal with TWP subject to the same condition.
