Cannot answer why he hasnt being snapped up by a SL club yet - maybe he is high maintenance?

From my point of view by leading Batley successfully last season in a very competitive Championship division puts him ahead development wise of Nicklas and Williams and given the fact he is both young and English would seem to be an ideal choice for number 7 cover to the Hull first team right now.

I reckon that we should keep space the open and the money in our pockets for now . As a team we do not have to panick buy YET . Sammut might be asking for to much plus he does want to return to the NRL .
18mths - 2years ago no one had heard of Kyle Eastmond lets hope our youngsters can replicate him .Why buy some one who is not planning to stay . Why buy some aged Australian just over to top up his pension . EVERY one is always harping on about the overseas players stopping our [British] youths from progressing well lets give them a chance hopefully they will step up to the mark . Heres hoping

Not sure about Moore to be honest, i've heard he's got potential but i agree there's no guarantee at SL level

Regarding Agar i would be very disappointed going into 2011 without HB cover when the injuries are inevitable. I think Sam Obst would be a good signing for a year or two and we could probably prize him away from Wakefield - i would think there's more chance of that than signing Sammut from crusaders

If Horne/Long/Houghton do not get injured then i take it all back

18 months ago we should have bust the bank for him

18 months ago he was a key part of Saints plans for the future. What makes you think they would have sold him?

was that the plan than involved offloading their over the hill injury prone players to a lesser SL club while having a ready made replacement coming through the ranks, must be nice to have a plan.

That's fair enough but there must be soem reason that Leeds let him go and other clubs have not signed him? I would have thought he would be worth the risk though, not much to lose as Nicklas is a 6 and Williams is still a couple of years away from first grade.

I am thinking it might be better to keep our money in our pockets for a while in terms of halves as something always materialises during the season so we would be in a prime position to act.

You know I think it might have been!!
Sts made no bones about it. Our problem with planning to bring good young players through is probably that we just don't have enough of them. The recent England academy squad announcement underlines why Sts , Wigan , Wire Leeds and even Bradford are ahead of us with between 4 and 6 representatives each in the squad to our 2.

Are you sure you haven't just made this up?

I haven't seen anyone say this?

I would guess any young half back at leeds must look at the McGuire/Burrows partnership and realise chances may be very limited especially when Leeds tend to move Sinfield to 6 when either player is injured.

I agree about keeping the money in our pockets because good players will become available once the season starts on both sides of the world and by then over inflated prices will not be such an issue.

Not only a key part of their future, but we also brought in three huge signings. I doubt we could have had a chance to fit him in.

Sammut will sign in the next week or so

Leeds needed another halfback for this season.

Did they try and sign Moore no, they signed a young kid from Wigan.

Moore might make a good SL player but the fact that no SL have tried to sign him despite being young and in a position that most clubs struggle in tells it's own story.

You only have to look as far as Scott Murrell to see a player who couldnt force his way past the Leeds half backs so dropped down to the Championship/National League before re-emerging in the Super League a better player and is now in the England squad.

Is this just made up or told from Jarrod himself?
