Put Drinkwater and Fifita type players in that team and they'd be OK.
Watkins and Ward fit again and they look a much better side.
They need to pull the plug on Ablett and JJB and'"
I disagree, a couple will not cut it for them IMO. They desperately need to rebuild. There pack is none existant, they have a decent young player in Singleton and a decent enough player in Garbutt but the rest are either shot and ready for retirement or just not good enough - And yes I include Stevie Ward in that, fantastic player but one more injury and I am sure he will call it a day if he has a good head on his shoulders as he seems to.
Next season they will have 2 decent three quarters in Watkins and Briscoe - One of which will be returning from a massive injury and not in the best form prior to that and Briscoe who is hit and miss (Sometimes terrible and sometimes absolutely dreadful).
That leaves them with one half back in Myler who has not had a good game since he was in a Salford shirt, "He just needs to find the right half partner" is an excuse used for him since he first joined Wire and cannot be used forever - Steady Super League player.
Jack Walker and Golding will see them well covered at Fullback.

Moon is not with them next season.

| Also I forgot they have signed Tuimoala Lolohea which I assume is to play Moons role, very similar player to Moon as well.

Does he have a club for next season or heading home?

I don`t think anything has been officially confirmed but he looks to be heading home.

| The signing they made from Leigh was probably underwhelming considering those available.
perhaps it was because he can tackle?

Myler has looked fine for me whenever I've seen Leeds play. Most assists in the league this year too.

I quite like him, just goes about his job, I thought he was good for Cas but not seen much of him since he went to Hull. Certainly would not say he was awful.

I forgot about him.
Assuming he is SO they need another back to cover centres and a better pack.
One good quality prop would make the front row look better but they need to replace Ferris, JJB, Ablett and probably the aussie with the tattoos who's name eludes me.
But some of their young back rowers can do that and there are lots of good backrowers around.
I'd put Sutcliffe back to 13 too personally.

Brett Delaney - he's been crocked for several seasons.
I can't see Leeds languishing for long - although an over-reliance on the golden generation and a lack of recruitment off the back of that is costing them dear; they seem to have a mixture of players who are far too old, or young players who just aren't good enough - Goulding, Walker, Handley, Sutcliffe, Walters etc. Of course in between all that, they have some real quality - standouts being Moon, Hall and Cuthbertson - with Brad Dwyer being, somewhat surprisingly, included in that list.
They'll come good, but it will take a while - and I'll enjoy it until then.

Can't knock your opinion mate but I do believe he earned the nickname of "turnstile" when at Hull, looking at the stats you can see why - consistently missing 10% of the tackles he made.

Ferris contributes absolutely nothing and is embarrassing for them, Delaney's simply passed it, JJB and Ablett are passed their best but at least the passion and the endeavour are on show when they play.

Problem is with the standouts you have named Moon and Hall are leaving and Cuthbertson has been good but the general consensus amongst Leeds fans is that he should not have got another deal this time around with them which coming from fans that watch him week in week out says a lot.

Agreed - which is why I say that it will take a while for them to recover; Hetherington and Uncle Bri have overseen the degradation of a squad that you could reasonably expect to win any must-win game, to a load of old geezers, journeymen, and spectacularly ordinary youngsters.
