Like I said it is the Sun ,but it is doing the rounds now on social media.

If we were going to make a signing from RU. Danny Care would be more realistic

If we are going after RU players then imo it should be Courtney Lawes or Jonny May.

Courtney Laws would be an awful RL player. I’d be after Tuilagi, Vunipola and/or Farrell.

Is this just a duplication of the transfer thread?

Interesting to see journo John Davidson tweeting "Am told speculation that Callum McClelland is joining Huddersfield on a loan deal is wide of the mark. Not happening." - interesting only in that it would be interesting to know where he got that speculation from in the first place? Twitter search reveals nothing and haven't even seen anything on forums about that.

reporters report the news.
journalists make it up

Not imo he has a great engine hits hard & is a strong ball runner he'd be a big assett at Prop or BR.

Sbw signing for Toronto has clearly made some people quite giddy....

Interesting to read Agars comments about wether the budget will allow for a preseason training camp

What did he say?

Just that . ' we would like to have a camp, but we do have a budget `

Sounds like it could be a few tents in the dales

And we wonder why weve gone backwards. Pre season is huge imo. Strange that we cant pay for a good offseason camp...

Yes FLA trips are a long time ago

I've never understood the need for warm weather pre season training camps, especially as the season starts in winter. It's hard
hardly the best preparation for that.

Trouble is when its wet and cold its not great conditions to improve kicking and ball skills which we badly need. Agar alluded to also

I think you answer the very reason in your post. It’s not about the start, it’s about the whole season. Preaseason is vital to a good season, you need to take advantage of it as much as possible. Only one way to guarantee that.

I guess a warm weather training camp is a decent expense. Taking a whole squad away for long enough to do some good, you must be looking at up to £2k per head?

It’s probably mentally beneficial as much as anything else. Whether it really makes a difference to the season ahead though is debatable.

Should go to Rob Burrow villa in Florida he knocks off 10% for season ticket owners,could all bunk up together it's big enough

Do the players own season tickets tho? Hetherington would have a fit forking out full price

Not sure if warm weather is beneficial or not but whether team go or not they need to get some solid work done.

It’s needed because the season starts in winter. We have cold, wet, dark weather, other than for strength and fitness it’s not ideal training conditions

If Kirkstall gets flooded out again too,last time it didnt do us a y good .if the budget doesn't run to warm weather training what does it say for the quality of further recruitment?

After the 2016 washout season, grizzly Brian took them to a farm in the dales for pre-season camp, not much sunshine up there, won the GF in 2017.
Reckon this group needs team bonding as much as anything else for a few days of camp.

It’s a long off season this year, we could do both
