I think the backs in the whole SL are not as good as a few years ago, we have good forwards good enough to compete in the NRL but the English backs are poor quality.

Hope your not including yeaman,your mate picks him every time he is available,can you tell me why?

I see it more like this

Shaul
Naughton/Lancaster
Talanoa
New centre
New winger

Logan and Yeaman (think he is staying whether we like it or not) as back ups.

I like Lineham, but is very limited, not sure he is value for money, I got told on Friday that his replacement who was in hull last week has been signed on the same money Lineham is on.

I think what you say is the most likely scenario, just i'd like to see what i'd put. Lancaster simply has to be one of the wingers

No doubt Inu is an upgrade on Lineham, would prefer to see him at centre though. Suppose that depends on who the centres we sign are!

I reckon Leeds would disagree.

Given what's been rumoured we could have a back line of

Shaul
Lancaster
Hodges
Inu
Perrett

If we sign 2/3 those, I would be extremely happy.

Think Inu is a certainly.

Maybe they would but I couldn't see any of them in the NRL doing what the backs do week in week out, different pedigree.

Inu looks a certainty, you're right. Lockyer seemed to hint that Hodges had already made a decision to 'retire' at the end of the year so could be a possibility. Perrett seems to have come out of left field.

Hall is as good as anything out there and Watkins will be.

Wonder why they don't test themselves down under then.

Leeds backline is a freak of a backline, I reckon all 5 would do well in the NRL.

How they have got those 5 to stay at Leeds is beyond me.

Think Watkins will. Hall has nothing to prove for me.
