my old dad is getting a bit like that!!!

Didnt do too bad out of said Rhino's with Kyle Amor did we.....a couple of great seasons and an invaluable 50k transfer at a crucial time for the club.....all for helping Leeds out eh....

Like everything about signing Keinhorst personally....young hungry player out to prove himself in a position we need cover....no brainer...

yep, good signing this, for Jimmy, Wakey and Leeds.

Definitely an SL standard centre who ill do well from the exposure - it's come at the right time for him too, another year with Hunslet would stifle him

I get what you are saying - but lets be honest to get fro where we were to where we are you have to accept that some fairish compromises probably had to be made - we can't have it all our own way. The lesson as ever is don't get in this position in the first place and then our youngsters wouldn't suffer.

So which of our own, I presume Lubey is going to be sidelined . Jimmy won’t have signed to be sat in the stand and it certainly won’t be Reece

I don't know but your missing the point I fear - in that we are still in a week position when it comes to dictating our own future and it's our fault not Leeds. We need them more than they need us

Is Walshaw still regarded as a centre or is he a back row now? If it’s the latter the Keinhorst loan isn’t going to restrict his opportunities, either Tautai or Ryan will, and anything that pushes Lyne out ontot he wing rather than centre can only be a good thing. That’s not to say I’m happy to see the young Trinity players miss out, I’d like to see the team built around them.

I’d like to see the pack line up like this at the start of the season:

Anderson
McShane/Wildie
Raleigh
Kirmond
Walshaw
Annakin/Trout

Bench

Ryan
Moore/Tautai/Smith
Lauitiiti
Wildie/Mcshane

A good stepping stone for the kid, was too good for Championship, scoring an average of (nearly) one a game in a team so poor they got relegated. As a Leeds fan he's got an impossible task of becoming a first choice at Leeds with Watkins and Moon ahead of him but the run of games he had last year showed he can stand up at SL level, even playing at second row. All the best to him and I hope for both Leeds and Wakefield he gets decent game time and has a great season for you!

Do you, as a loiner, think Leeds are keeping hold - and loaning him out - is a development of him as a back rower?

I would guess he's just gonna be developed to be a regular SL player at this stage

He always struck me as a future back rower, not overly fast, but a decent size, hard worker, loves a tackle, and has an offload

Just that these days, players at 23 - especially backs - who are not essential are released

Thought we needed OUTSIDE BACKS

Given our financial position, I can't see the downside. It's very much a squad game given the likelihood of injuries, so this looks like a solid addition; the lad is highly thought of and should go well for us. Fair do's.
