The previous two times we made the 8, IMHO the biggest mistake we made was not investing in QUALITY for the following season. This time round I really hope Agar goes with quality over quantity. I don't think we're that far away. Maybe another 3/4 QUALITY players to complement the squad we already have....

So with this in mind what do people think we need?

Here's my initial thoughts:

1 - PROP:

With the big question marks over Amor and Johnson this must be priority. Even if one stays I still think we need one more top quality addition here.


2 - FULL BACK:

Will Mathers stay or go? He's done a job, but don't we need more quality in this key position. Unless he plans on giving Ben or Lee Smith a go here?


3 - WING/CENTER:

I think this is still an area that is somewhat of a weak link for us. We have lots of potential partnerships/options. Improve what we have, try something new or bring someone new in?


4 - STAND OFF:

Is Sykes really the longer term answer? Will he even stay? Do we need more proven top quality in this crucial position to complement and assist Tim Smith?

I've heard that Sykes has signed a 2 year deal so we'll see but I'll be happy to keep Smith & Sykes together, they clicked from the start and had to learn how each other plays mid season so they could become even better with a proper pre-season under their belts.

not many good props about Leeds signing Moore and Griffin is an example of that St Helens have got a future star in Walmsley cant see many more like him in the championship others are under contract Crabtree would cost big bucks and bigger clubs would be in for him Fielden again would want big bucks hope im wrong but my bet is Keith Mason with Kirke who i would be happy with other than that its an overseas prop but do we have the quota for one

That would be good news.

I'd also like to see a young successor to Sykes being groomed (not in a sinister way) - Syko may be in the form of his life, but he's got a few miles on the clock; it would be great to see one of our youngsters taking up the mantle.

Are there are any likely candidates in our academy system?

would be happy with that

Many Leeds fans have expressed disbelief that our very own R Moore isn't getting in the team at Shedingley despite performing well when he has played, I for one would be happy to see him return to bolster out front line.
