you could get a marque prop, a marque centre and a marque backrower or 2 with the cash from that lot. But obviously they probably won't all go but you can see where viable room can be made. there is perhaps 500 to 600 grand in cap space there'"
What is this, an academic essay?
Here's some research for you - why would Leeds sign another centre when they already already have two, and now have three after bringing one back from rugby union, especially (taking your 'probables' into account) when half the pack is leaving?

Wont you need two new wingers for next season? I think you should be looking for backs as your forward pack isnt too shabby IMO
Personally I think buying Australians is risky buisness, especially big name marquee signings in their late 20's/early 30's. I mean half of them come over as damaged goods, homesick or playing for a pension. That coupled with the weak pound will mean Wigan, Leeds, Saints might all be looking for talent over here

not realy pal it's a simple list, which centres are better than senior? it's an opinion on rugby, obviously you don't have one. As I said people will disagree but no centre is a stand out above senior. senior has been hot and cold this season but that's the team more than one individual. I'm just genuinely intrested to know your opinion.

I agree with that, i have no respect for players who come here on undoubtably good wages to run back home as soon as a deal is offered

I think your wrong re tronc he went home not for a better deal but because the deal was good enough to go home. No way would he get more wedge than he got at wakey. it's a case of is it worth been in this $hit hole for the extra cash? I would think the same with Eastwood if true.

I assume you have your wires crossed here mate (misquoted), as it wasn't me who mentioned Senior. Read the post again!
