Think we are one good prop and a replacement winger away from a great side. If we could get those think we could be mid-table if not may be in the bottom 4 dogfight. If the side gels like it did last year under the mentoring of Lamey and we hit the ground running we could go well all about getting some momentum and hoping we don’t get the early season injuries we always seem to suffer from. I am going for 9th place fingers crossed!

With an initial first team squad of 38 players, Leeds won't need to worry as much about potential injuries as we will do with such a small group.

Seems to be quite a few contradictions in your post here squire

I think we all know our Team will struggle this coming season unless a few quality additions are added , I sure Derek and Lammy dont need telling this , in my mind we have a few fringe players who are not good enough either, hopefully we sign a couple of players soon , it’s no good in SL relying on loan players .

Good point B & B and a happy New Year to you and yours. Leeds do have 38 players in their squad and a very good starting 13. However their depth consists of very young academy players or unproven Championship players. They will struggle as soon as they have any injuries. In addition Nene has been given number 4 which would suggest he will be in that starting 13. He would not get near our playing squad this year. I still think they will be in for a tough season.

38 players in a squad counts for nowt. Only 25 count on the cap. Only 17 count on the day. Leigh are shy a little weight prop wise. But we have pace..

By your capitalisation of both "Prop" & "Polish" are you hinting at Oledzki?
As to "Chuck" (with the greatest of respect), Signor Caroli may be a tad on the light side - though Bongser would love to be proved completely wrong (not for the first time).

Very true Bongser , and of late I must have lost around 8lbs in weight , and I’m not as fast as I used to be.
