Matt Shaw saying Leeds aren't in for Hastings but we'll see. It could be a disaster of a move if it comes off. Leeds is far too big a club to let Hastings make the whole show about him and as we know, if you don't do that you've got problems.

The game caller Mike Gledhill first tweeted it and seems to have picked up steam from that, but he’s usually wrong on just about everything.

Matt Shaw on the other hand is always spot on.

Hastings is being found out at every club he’s gone to bar Salford who let him rule the roost.






RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Hastings would certainly be a test for whoever Leeds's new full-time coach ends up being, a guy who doesn't take instructions or stick to game plans.

We have a decision to make in regards Walters, Eseh and Chan who are all middles and I don’t see the need for 3 of them.

Chan for me is the one that we need to move on as he takes up a quota spot.

We need a natural second row to play alongside Faz and Nsemba beyond that I think our squad is complete

Hearing that Byrne is off to Huddersfield and if Cooper retires then maybe we are not as strong in depth in the front row as many people think.
Totally agree that we need at least one more second row forward to balance the squad.
Forber also rumoured to be on the way to Salford so I think a few changes will evolve for the 2025 season.

iI know he's not everyones favourite player but I don't think I'd be letting Byrne go if we can help it. He shows what he can do at times (but he's not consistent enough) and he's still pretty young for a prop and can gain more consistency as he comes in to his peak IMO. In saying that, we need a second rower and if a sacrifice like that helped us get a starting second rower in, who can mirror the sort of work Willie Isa does for us, I could live with that. I also think we'd still be ok for depth in the prop department, with the lads who played last night being backed up by Hill, Chan, Eseh, Makin etc. You also have Walters who can go in there and in all honesty, I can see a time where Nsemba ends up in there as well in spells.

Not sure if Byrne is going of his own accord or if he hasn’t been offered an extension that matches the Salford deal.
Like yourself ideally I would like to retain Byrne.
Re the backs I assume that Hampshire will be released and that we will replace him. Will be very interesting to see who recruit to replace Hampshire.

In my view Byrne is better than all those named above. Chan seems destined to leave and given Eseh’s season long loan to Hull there must be doubts about his ability to break through at Wigan especially given that we have a glut of fixtures. What I like about Byrne is that he gives us aggression. Regarding a second row forward being recruited I fully agree. Faz is nowhere near the player he was which is understandable given his age and the amount of rugby he has played this year. I honestly believe that the plan was to alternate between him and Walters but it has not materialised. I think Walters will need to revert to a prop if he is to be successful at Wigan.

Byrne is living off one aggressive hit against Navarette last year. I don’t see what aggression he brings, particularly when his starts this year have left little impression. He’s been a liability with the rules this year, get dominated in his carries and I think he’s hit his ceiling early. It’s up to the coaching staff to find better than him from outside as a starting prop to push the others down or to leave his spot open for Hill, Walters or Makin to move into. I’d prioritise a second row immediately over any further reinforcements up front.
