Agree heath has been a great clubman, I am not sad to see him go too much logic when you take away the sentiment, valuable quota spot, two promising young hookers add in addy and sammut for cover and you have less need for an expensive quota spot.
I say thanks for everything heath all the best to you and family.
If a decent player comes up in a position we are not as blessed in, i.e. prop. I like our first choice four but with injuries/suspensions we could definitely do with more for the year.

That's two down of the senior players our esteemed leader has got rid of now, wonder if he can get shut of the last two in the nick of time before this gale blows over.

We maybe need to remember that Diskin played the second half of last season whilst carrying injuries which affected his mobility, this should have been sorted by now and hopefully, by the first kick off, he'll be pretty much back up to speed. Obviously it would have been better if Heath had stayed but it's not desperation time by any means.

You have to worry whether Diskin is up to a full SL season now without picking up a few knocks and missing some games. That leaves a lot of pressure on young O'Brien and whilst I am pleased he looks like he will be getting more game time next year it might be a bit too much to ask.

If we go into 2014 without recruiting another hooker I reckon it'll be because we failed to land our replacement. I'm fairly certain they have at least been in talks with a potential new hooker.

TBH, although I'm sad to see him go, I'm glad at least one of the players leaving is leaving for a good reason other than having agents in his ear telling him he's a superstar or other idiotic reasonings.

But the club are now desperately in need of additional players. We had a lightweight squad last year and it's just as light, if not lighter this year.

If Hardaker and McShane are going spare at Leeds, then I'd happily take them as Cummins says he wants competition for places and both of those players would add that to the team as well as Hardaker adding some strike power to the back line

Of course, the last time we got a hooker from Leeds who was at the beginning of his career, he turned out alright!

I always liked the look of McShane. When he actually played for Leeds he looked really good. It surprised me that constantly started Burrow there then putting Sinfield there :/ Don't get me wrong Burrow did a cracking job for them but McShane is an out and out 9.

Well i am waiting for my apologies he told me this bla bla bla. Good club man bla bla bla the lad broke a code of honour that stands with all men. When things are going bad you stick together not run off and back stab those around you. Anyways each to their own opinions. Told you Aldo xx

Except that you're attempts are portraying L'Estrange as some sort of judas are so far off the mark that it's not even funny.

Unlike Whitehead and Bateman, L'Estrange has not left because someone has told him he's a superstar and should move to another club so that person can get a cut of his sign on fees. He's stayed in Oz to raise his daughter. You know, looking to provide the best upbringing he can for his new family.

The fact is most people already knew Heath's decision before you came on here as it was the reason for Diskin getting a contract extension.

Nope credit where's it due, he was right.

I mentioned about Naughton looking to move. However, like you, these transfers have feck all to do with someone who posts something on a message board, especially it seems one with some inferior told you so complex. But well done in hearing something and putting it on a forum.

Now, shall we all spam southstand to say they won't win the Cup. Then be all gloaty come August when the inevitable happens.

(Although sod's law says Leeds will win!)

Even though it'd be a long shot with the other teams interested, McShane could always join us on loan.

Cripesginger was right about Heath leaving - he is the OP. 24hrs before LeedsFan...
Although the twitter/captaincy allegation has yet to be proven either way (and is unlikely to be).

Anybody seen what LeStrange has put on twitter.Signed off with dignity, unlike some people we know
