The scouting net is casting far and wide, clearly.

Joe Taylor, a young winger from North Dublin Eagles, is on trial with the Rhinos at the moment.

Great stuff.

So far most of the movements in our team have been outgoings.

Burgess
cross
senior

lautiti next?
possibly buderus to the knights?

Our squad next year promises to be even weaker as things stand and with the current coaching set up we could have a battle to even make the playoffs depending on how other teams shape up.

Why would we want a young winger?

Hardaker
hall
smith
BJB
Watkins

That's 5 players who can play there, in 2 positions, although watkins is more a centre. They are also all fairly young. If it was established winger i could maybe, sort of, just about get the logic behind it.

nah, signing webb was a good option. He's still one of our most creative players and our attack isn't the same when he doesn't play.

True, however, it's a lot easier to score when you don't give the ball away so much, let attacking players run straight past you and when your kick return gets you further by catching on the full and running straight up rather than just 10/20m up after it's bounced a dozen times and been run across the field.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, once he starts creating and scoring more tries that he allows to waltz past him, I will agree that it was a good option. A good example of this would be Hull at home.

The Irish lad is only 15 or 16, he'll be years off, don't worry.

We're not getting Andy Ellis then from Quinns. Signed for Wakey

Good to hear i don't think he's much better than Mcshane and Hood.

I dont know if this has been posted already but ive been told we are possibly looking at Ben Fisher from Hull KR
I really hope not but mysource is quite good so just wanted to know if anybody else has heard owt

Fisher is another name to add to Ellis(gone to Wakey) Withers AND Le'Strange before he re-signed for the Dulls.
Personally i would'nt bother with another 9 and give the shirt to Mcshane and let him prove his talent one way or another.

Why are Leeds even being linked with these average Joes anyway?

They have one of the world's best still contracted for 2012 and he has made it clear he's going nowhere unless Hetherington facilitates a release from his contract (which he will happily honour otherwise) and Hetherington has made it clear he requires a like for like replacement for his world class hooker.

Apart from the signing of Buderus, the recent years' signings now apparently topped with Moore smacks greatly of a club with sadly diminishing ambitions.

Danny buderus has been granted his release for next season Mcshane has been offered new 4yr contract and there not thinking about Hood for another 2yrs so are definately signing another hooker on atleast a 2yr deal

thats what ive been told and my source is good so i beleave it

With half the teams in superleague Already making some major signings for next season im just wondering if anyones heard when or if leeds will be announcing any signings before we get left scraping the bottom of the barrel all ive heard so far are rumours e.g griffin ,moore

They're the only two we need. Both world beaters. They may as well engrave all the 2012 trophies now.

surely your source must also have told you who the replacement for Bedsy is then given his early release was conditional on the Knights sourcing a suitable 'high class' replacement from the NRL

just as Eastwood's release required a healthy transfer fee?

which is what happened in aroundabout way. Didn't he fork out £60k to buy himself out of his contract with Leeds?

Plus Eastwood wanted to go home whereas Bedsy is prepared to see out his contract with us and will do unless Newcastle find a 'star' replacement or change their stance and agree to the rumoured £150k transfer fee demand from GH.

Whilst I've no doubt Bedsy would prefer to go back home, he is happy to stay. Eastwood wanted out come what may and it ended up costing him in the pocket to get his wish

not as yet he just told me what i have already said i will post as soon as he tells me anything else

been linked with Lincoln Withers in the YEP
