Yeah Godwin played at 13 as did Heath in the halves.

Myabe that is where Potter sees them both re: cover.

Quote: 6Iestyn6 "It's unbelivable the way some people are talking, there making it out as if we have signed a 34 year old on a three year deal, he's only 28 and still one of the best 9's in the game. He's not played to his best this year, but he has been forced out to accomodate Buderus, a change of club and hopefully he will be back in a England shirt becasue he is quality.'"


As I've told the Leeds supporters this has the same feeling as when we got Lowes from them back in 1996.

seriously doubt potter sees l'estrange as cover. whilst theres not much in it I'd rate l'estrange as better than diskin (on last years form at least). Its debatable though who should be starting hooker and who goes on bench. Only way I could see L'estrange not having one of the hooking roles is if we do move him to scrum half but hopefully we wont go down that route.

as a neutral (super Saints !) Diskin sounds like a good move from Mr Potter - great player who didn't get the chances in 2010 because of an inconsistent Buderus imo - hope Wagga stays,he's a steady player who rarely seems to have a bad game when utilised
regarding Greseque,I've seen him play quite a few times in the LER and looks like he could move up to the SL - steady kicker,a better french import than say,Bosc (dodgy ankles etc) imo

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



The way L'Estrange plays, I'd say he's got more impact coming off the bench. But the strength in depth for next season is what's got me excited about going to Odsal. There's no-one in the team who's guaranteed to start. For every player who gets into the starting 13 there's 2 guys right behind him looking to get his spot.
[sizeAdmittedly I'm ignoring the half backs, but I'm sure that area will be sorted soon.[/size

Quote: 6Iestyn6 "Fantastic signing if true, can't see us with 3 hookers though aswell as O'Brien who's coming through.'"


Why not? With the exception of the halves, we have more than enough players in every other position. Why should hooker be any different? If we assume that 2 hookers in the 17 is the way Potter wants to go, and I see no reason why that wouldn't be the case, why wouldn't we have 3, considering O'Brien is still only 17 years old and clearly not ready for regular Super League action?

think the difference is, in the other positions once you get past the more obvious starting players the backup players tend to be either younger academy players or ones we're taking a bit of a gamble on (either injury wise or because of obvious deficiencies in their games). whereas we now have 3 SL level players on SL level wages. just seems like a big chink of salary cap to tie up when we mroe obviously need to strengthen in the halves. hopefully we'll get good news in that department in next week or so too though. If we manage to sort the halves out and keep all the players under contract so far then we've managed the cap exceptionally well imo.

Quote: Bullseye "Diskin is only 28. He's got plenty of miles on the clock.'"


Exactly. If this is true its a very good signing and probably suits all parties. We get an upgrade at 9, assuming Diskin and Heath over Heath and Godwin. Diskin gets 3 year deal rather than 1, Leeds create the room to bring in westerman and promote the promising McShane whilst keeping Buderus at 9.

As for 3 hookers in the squad, whats the issue? Its pretty clear to me that Potter is making sure he has at least one cover per squad slot throughout the squad (Halves excepted //www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/14252202 [color=#FF0000:1j25ao8d] Frosties. wrote: Believe you and me, Ellis will be in a Leeds shirt next year.

Quote: JUDGE666 "I wonder where this leaves Godwin?.........'"


i'd have him bk at Hull FC, move berrigan to centre and godwin and houghton to share the hooker role

Disco will do a good job for you, but he's not the player he was prior to his bad leg injury. We've had great service from him over the years, and I certainly don't begrudge him leaving for a 3 year deal.
