Not sure why we struggle to develop props but they go on to look good elsewhere. Although, maybe we tend to see the good things other team's players do and dwell on the errors ours make?

Sounds fishy to me.

I’m a new user on here. I’ve followed Leeds since the 70’s and I’ve been following this site for a good while. My viewpoint is that I can’t recall any team who make so many changes in one go as we did in the last off season, being successful the following year, particularly when you change the whole spine. I completely agree with the over-riding consensus on here that our pack needs size and more aggression. My username mentions 2 players who fit that profile back in the day. We need to sort that element of our squad to give the backs the platform to play. Can I point out we beat Wigan 2 years in a row at Wigan in the playoffs not so long ago and they were dire. Fast forward a couple of years and managed correctly, look what can happen. Ian Blease has been brought in for a reason and I fully back him to turn things around.

Not a chance, we didnt treat him properly on his way out, we heaped a load of pressure on him as Captain when he wasnt ready mentally or physically it all just sounds like a made up rumour as were in the market for players.

One of the best defensive full backs I've seen, more dangerous in attack than half of our 3/4s, doesn't get injured often just he can be a bit of a div. Not sure if he's moved over there but would be closer to home.
Hardakers done. Ask leigh fans if they are bothered that he’s signed for Hull.

Why don't you think we will move on anyone under contract Jim? We have most of the pack out of contract at the end of 25, it wouldn't be a stretch to say to some of them you're not getting another contract, you can go talk to other clubs now if you like. Some will find new clubs on longer deals.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

I can see Blease and Arthur (if he remains), being quite ruthless. Arthur doesn't strike me as being a person to keep someone in if he thinks they are garbage.
