Not now no because we don’t need a winger as much as we need a prop.

I get that, I was just wondering putting aside things like where you'd strengthen first etc, would you have him starting on your wing this season?
I don't know what's happened at Toronto but he's far too good not to be playing at the highest level and if money was no concern I'd love him back here. When Tom was injured for example there was hardly any drop in skill and finishing ability.

Well, 12 of our top 20 players have won GF winners rings, so they’ve earned better money even if last year didn’t go well. Plain and simple if you’re part of a team that helps your club win trophies it will be reflected in your wage. The only SL GF winner you have in your squad is BJB and he won that with Leeds.'"
You could have offered him a deal when it was apparent that he was leaving us?
I was always under the impression that teams like Wakey had to pay more to a player in wages to make the move more appealing?
Leeds players were used to making up their salaries from incentive bonuses?
As for props, you've got Crosby, Mullally, Singleton, Cuthbertson, isn't Peteru a prop and there's Jones-buchanan at a push.

I dunno which is worse.
Not being able to afford to spend the cap, yet still fielding a half decent team
Or spending the lot and producing garbage.

Garbage like winning 2 of the last 4 Grand Finals? Because over half our top 20 have helped us do that.
Which would you honestly take
- GF winners, 9th, GF winners, 9th
Or
- 12th, 8th, 5th, 5th
Would you take 9th spot in 2020 if it meant being the Champions in 2019, because I would.

Tommy Lee being a prime example. Poor hooker, even poorer half. Stealing a SL wage for god knows how long.

You’re like a petulant child, you try far to hard but it’s amusing all the same. So much effort defending a nothing issue, truly incredible when you could just have said ‘no’.

The only child here and on countless other occasion is you.
Someone asked why Leeds didn’t sign him, I answered why and myself and other posters have managed to have a debate about it.
You’ve just come along as per usual and thrown out an insult. I haven’t insulted anybody, just offered a different opinion and POV whether people agree with it or not. You just can’t accept or handle people having a different view to you and always result to insults which begs the question whether message boards are the right thing for you.

Have to say Printer, I'm with you on this one!

You trying to say he has a square moustache, a slicked back hairline and a liking for blue eyes and blonde hair ?

| Quote: ThePrinter "To be honest, that should be the only reason for ANY SL club not to be able to spend more money. With all due respect to Caron Brown he isn’t exactly a £100k a year wage player, he’d be a 3rd choice winger that was in the Chanpionship and now looks to be unemployed on the eve of a new season, doubt he’s going to be too picky when it comes to a wage right now.'"
You’d be surprised Printer what MCB was offered, so please if you are guessing then guess again. His choice not Wakeys.

Oh don’t get me wrong he probably got a handsome wage from Toronto, but Toronto are a bit of a special case and I’m sure Caton Brown realises that and isn’t expecting other clubs to offer him the same. But a week away from a new season and unemployed do you think he’ll refuse to sign for someone unless it matches his Toronto wage? I doubt he’d be that stubborn.

You still have to stick to club wage structure.
If Carter decided what he could spent and Chester spent it, they should stick to that. MCB is a good player but he left and we used that money.
As for the question about the respective seasons...... Of course I'd rather have yours.
In comparing teams we are a young strong man pulling a truck. We've got momentum so it's going OK but a small bump could stop us.
Leeds are an old guy with a flash car that broke down. It's funny when we go past you but if you fix it you'll just go straight to the front again.
Not quite sure it's fixed yet though. We'll see.

So much waffle to say nothing. You’re not interested in the POV of others, why are you even on here. Oh that’s right your own fans got bored of you.
