The weight will come when he puts some muscle mass on. Look at the likes of Burgess and Langley, although you could argue the weight they put on hasn't helped.

Brad McKay? |

Brad Mackay wasn't all that big either and he was a good loose forward. But 6/13 who cares.. let's just hope he fulfils his potential and isn't another Matt Cook. |

Probably was the last one yeah.
After that we had Forshaw, Swann, Radford and Langley (unless I'm forgetting someone). All super hard workers, with the possible of Swann, but none of them with the skill to play 6.
A ball playing loose forward makes a good team a great one imo. Hence why Leeds struggle so much more when Kevin Sinfield isn't playing. |

He will fill out a bit yet and probably isn't quite fully grown just yet, I don't think you need to be that big to be a good quality 13.'" Yes he is quick enough to play 6. |

But at club level you cannot deny he has been a great player for Leeds.
Perhaps Donaldson could do a similar role for us, ie play a bit of 6 and 13. |

I'm the same as you guys. We need something to lift the gloom...like signing Lyon or Lockyer for next season...but I can dream! |

I thought Brad McKay was an awesome ball playing LF for us. |

I heard from somebody who's guesses are pretty spot on that.....
We're looking at signing Aaron Gorrell from Brisbane. I've never seen him but he's a Hooker so that would probably mean that Newton is Wakefield bound as people are saying.

Yeah he played at Catalans last year and couldn't get back in the team when McGuire started playing 9 to accomodate Mogg in the halves.
He's ok, but I can't say I ever looked at him and thought "I'd like to see him playing at Bulls".
If we do sign him, I wouldn't be thrilled but wouldn't be gutted either. One of those "wait and see how he does" kind of signings. |

Spot on. I'm a massive Sinfield fan, he's a great player & great captain, a model professional, but he's not big enough for a world class LF nor fast enough for a SO. He fits in perfectly in a Leeds team full of great players but cannot raise his game to a higher level when playing against the Aussies. Memory fades but I think he did ok against them coming on as reserve hooker. |

So not a good enough replacement for Newton in your opinion? |
