There's a bit of a difference between Leuluai and Roby

Yeah, and that replacement became available and we couldn’t get the deal done but I know what your saying, certainly no guarantee a top half will be available in 12 months time.

| Don’t think Leeds fans would mind you signing Gale. Just doesn’t play enough games since his Achilles went....
I wouldn’t even mind us signing Tommy L for a season. We need a hooker that can pass! You can have Dwyer too...

I’m not looking for an argument but the point still stands . Two great players playing on perhaps one more year than they should one in a good team and one in a struggling team.

Is Leuluai a great player though? I'd say he used to be a good player, now he's a below average player. Roby was world class, and is still a great player. Leuluai has been a great servant to the club but is not, and never has been, on a level with Roby. If we had Roby I would absolutely want another year out of him.

Have to agree with you if he’s staying on and he’s fit he will play non of this reduced games nonsense,which is worrying to say the least

I hear he's one one of our highest paid players.

Thats a very vague statement
One of?
One of how many?
One of the top 3, top 5, top 10, top 15?
And "You've heard"
Whoever told you, can you ask them to just give us the top 10 earners please and their yearly salary ?
Cheers

| If TL is going round again it should be as a 9, no way is he a starting halfback these days

Our captain/starting halfback being one of our highest paid players? Surely not.

I'd be in favour of that to be honest, but whether he would come is another question.

| does anyone think we are going to see a 'left-field' 'meh' kind of signing like the Sammut one of a few years ago?
along the lines of...
Rocky?
Gigot?
Rangi?
I, personally hope we go for an young Aussie, struggling for game time, with something to prove.....
The alternative of, no signing and Tommy round again, with the utility options of Field and French, doesn't exactly light my fire.
Still need +1 and a recognised one at that.

| Everybody has gazumped us in recruitment. Huddersfield have just announced Danny Levi. Thats a great coup. Even Salford look like they have signed a good cheap half back, Brodie Croft. We give Leauluai a new deal

Thing is with those signings is they'll be 2 or 3 year deals. We perhaps want a quality replacement for Hastings there and can't currently get one. With that in mind Tommy as a stop gap is perhaps our only option.
Or maybe we're just looking for cover in the halves and going with a Field Smith combo. In which case Tommy as cover isn't a bad option.
Admittedly this should have been sorted ages ago though. we knew Hastings was leaving at the end of this season 12 months ago.
