I'm just preparing my smug face for when it's Lee Jewitt.



I'm just preparing my FFS face for when it's Ryan Bailey.

I'd be delighted with Jewitt. Under rated player IMO.

I've heard that Ryan Shaw has been talking to the Bulls. I think he's been released by Warrington. Not sure why we need a winger myself though.

No, I think we're 'suited' for outside backs - unless he doubles as a prop?

I'd be very happy with Jewitt. He was being linked with an NRL move last year and I can't believe he's not already playing for another SL club.

Bailey, as long as he comes in straight (and you'd hope with our ex-Leeds contingent they'd help) then I can see him being a benefit to the pack.

Whatever happened to Liam McAvoy? He went from us to Leeds, but he seems to have dropped off the radar now

And looking at how their slating him on the Wakey forum, I'd take Scruton back in a heartbeat, and I've a feeling he'd jump at the chance to return as he only left to guarantee his family's income

McAvoy signed for Workington Town at the end of last season.

So he's playing outside SL? Wonder if he'd be open to a return?

He's still only very young, maybe 20 or 21? He was highly rated by a lot of people and played alongside John Bateman in the England academy team that toured Australia a few years ago. I think he wanted to move back home after his spell at Headingley.

Jewitt apparently signed for Cas.

Some player news getting announced by Leeds tomorrow,don't know if it's a coming or going.Also heard there could be a Bulls player heading to Headingley, don't know if it's now or end of season.Not good whenever it's supposed to be

Also heard Salford are looking to offload some players to make new signings under Harris. Heard Andrew Dixon could be one.

I've only just read the Cas story from yesterday now, and I said to myself I bet it is Lee Jewitt. Only because I wanted him at Bradford. If he is joining you guys then I only hope he's eaten his bodyweight in cheese and wine while he's been at Limoux!

Diskin...?!

Leeds player news was only Moon signing a new contract,was hoping it might of been a player coming on loan

Assume they're going to need a hooker at some stage - aren't Aiton and Burrow injured?

Correct. Sounds like they'll shift Sinfield to 9 and promote Sutcliffe into the halves with McGuire.

Spot on

Diskin was my guess at that, and heard same from a leeds boy at work yesterday. Can't imagine leeds wanting anyone else from our side to be honest, other than perhaps Donaldson. Bit left field but if it is true id imagine Diskin is on a fair whack and would certainly free up some money, a return for scruton maybe?

It's definately not Diskin

My initial thought was Diskin as a hooker replacement for Burrow/Aiton, but then thought it more likely to be a HB or FB to allow Sinfield to move to 9, with Hardaker going to 6 if it is a FB.

Thought Leeds had loads of kids, all just waiting to get a chance......and obviously better than anything we've got here.

Anyway I think I've sussed McDermott out - sends three to London for the season and lends us one but takes him back pdq. I know he probably still has a bit of feeling for London with having coached there but.....

Surely in that situation Ben jones bishop would come in at fullback ( and that's assuming they don't just slot sutcliffe in at hb rather than hardaker). Be a strange decision by us to let someone leave mid season on a permanent deal when were under strength already. Plus not even a hint on Leeds board that they think there signing someone.

Kearney will be our highest earner. Contract runs out this year. Is on quota so needs his future sorted asap. We do have cover at FB. There have been the odd rumours re leeds interest over the past 2-3years. Just not recently.

Could have seen that as a likely move before Leeds signed up hardaker on a long deal. They've got their long term fullback signed so why would they bring in a high earner to allow them to shuffle their team round to cover a relatively short injury situation. Could maybe see us loaning them kear if they need a FB or Addy to backup Sinfield at hooker. Talk on their board is that Stevie ward will be backup hooker and sutcliffe into the halves.

I would suggest that we are not really in a position to be loaning anyone to anyone! Unless it's one of these "season long" loans that have been so useful to allow us to build a stable team.

I was told a few weeks back that Watkins is off to yawnion for megabucks, which was rubbished on Substandard. That would mean Hardaker to centre, where I think he is better suited. Which is why BJB didn't sod off pre-season. I can't see Sutcliffe being in the halves long-term.
