Seen the interview on sky sports app. He states he is feeling good enjoying his job and wants to stay with Leeds 1 more year. He has told the club and is hopeful he will be with us next year.

What is everyone's opinion.

I think he is having a great year and is someone we would miss in our team. For me the only forward we have who actually hurts the opposition in attack and defence

I'm happy for this. He is still playing well and definitely adds something to the team. As long as this is the case, keep him. It also gives us one more year to find/develop a player ready for SL.

predicted this would happen a few weeks ago.

he is having a great season so far and if he thinks he can do another year then i am fully behind us giving him a contract.

He's playing well enough, but if he does stay I wouldn't renew Kirke's contract, Or Moore's contract (actually when is Moore OOC?), and give Singleton, and Baldwinson their places in the squad.

Actually, I think Kirke is deserving of a new contract at the moment. He's really having a good year this year. I can't see Moore being renewed though. Singleton will start to get more game time next season and Baldwinson will probably get a squad number and a loan. I predict Gotcha will bitch and moan all year about how he should be given a chance and that we don't have a youth policy at Leeds, as Stevie Ward puts Hardaker through a gap and Watkins scores in the corner to win the Grand Final, maybe.

My initial thought was what about the development / blooding of Brad Singleton ...

Great news. I would give him another year without a second thought. He's in great form and has been a fantastic servant for Leeds.

I get that but IMO average players like Kirke and Moore are blocking his development, not players like Kylie and JP.

Both Kylie and JP are having immense seasons and if they want to go around again, I'm more than happy to watch them do so as they're not many (if any) playing better in the league at the moment.

If they're good enough, they're good enough whether old or young.

At the moment Kylie is winning another years contract on merit rather than sentiment.

That's pretty much how I see it as well.

Spot on, completely agree Kyle is in great form. To blood the younsters average at best players like kirke and Moore should be going

Agree.

What a terrific signing he's been. Would be great if Achurch ends up giving us similar value.

He's a fantastic prop, why does it matter what age he is.

He's still performing every week unlike some players (Senior, Webb etc)

Kylie perofming every week? She should auction off her knickers at the end of the week. I'd buy a pair.

Form wise it's a no brainer but i hope it doesn't cost us Singleton or Baldwinson long term.
Although saying that G makes a great point re-kirke and Moore i'd add that Griffin hasn't worked out either.
There is a risk that he can't/wont maintain that form though because as we've witnessed many times in the past age can catch players out and i hoe it doens't happen to Kylie.

Singleton got blooded at Odsal with Wakey. He was terrible.

Very pleased if Kylie stays another year: good for the team, good for team spirit.

fully agree with your first point but regards Kylie not maintaining his form i dont see it as a problem as he is only on one year deals from now,not tied to a long contract.As it stands at this moment in time he is still one of the best props in the comp. if he starts showing drastic decline by this time next season then he will be gone by the end of next year and nobody loses really.If he is still at the top of his game we maybe seeing another year extention.

A sensible way of doing things IMO.

Wakey I think will be watching this with interest.If Leeds don't want him,I bet there will be other clubs waiting in the wings

Can't see Leeds saying no to be honest, but Moore kirke and griffin may make way

Griffin I'm sure will be gone and judging by recent selection (Singleton making the 19 ahead of Moore) I'd guess that Moore would be next favourite to leave even though he's not OOC. Unlike Kirke who is but provided Kirke wants to stay then I reckon he'll be here next year.....you only have to look at how more comfortable McDermott is with using him compared to the other options.

When Kirke plays he usually replaces Leuluai around 20 mins. Vs Warrington at home with no Kirke but Moore and Singleton on the bench then Kylie does an opening stint of over 30 mins.....wouldn't have stayed on that long if McDermott had Kirke on the bench instead.
