Manu and Mini? The two players some on here feel should not have both been offered extended contracts.
Sorry I did not make myself clear. The reference to being better than any of your players was my opinion after reading opinions about Linnet and FC second rowers.

How many times has Linnett played in the back row, when I've seen him at centre he has looked average in the NRL and Scotland.
I've looked on Twitter and can't much comments either way, Has there even been an announcement on the NQC Twitter page, couldn't find a mention on there forums either, doesn't seem like anyone is bothered.
I would swap any of our centre or backrowers for him, certainly not for a quota spot.
Might do a job for Rovers but we don't need a defensive centre/bsvkrower.

He actually is the type of player Radford likes. Decent size ,good defence but no pace.

Dawson is bang average.Why do you think he could be a good signing when he will probably spend most of the season in the reserves. When you look at Warrington,Wigan,Saints,Castleford,Leeds and Catalan which of those six do you think we will finish above next season? Then there is Salford,HKR and Huddersfield who are all likely to be stronger next season. Top 4 no way,likely around seventh or eighth.

Maybe you meant one non injury hit season?
Only joined Leeds in late June 2015, so it isn’t bad. Wikipedia (fwiw) credits him with 84 games over those 3 and a half seasons, rather than 67.

lets see, can see us finishing above cats leeds and being around 4th, injuries again could play a part but that goes for all teams, I can see dawson being a bit like aspinwall in the respect when we signed him most where against it,

Your once fearsome pack is looking a bit old and stale now Paea isn’t the player he was and now a year older Mini should have been released and the days of flogging Houghton for 80 minutes have gone

Injuries? What injuries? I suppose you were the only team to suffer last season. Do you honestly think you will move up from eighth to fourth when so far you have not strengthened your squad. The only thing that will have changed is that everyone will be a year older.

taylor Bowden green masi beinik are not really old timers, manu and mini hopefully will be spelled more and think we can get another year out of them, Hadley will play more time and westy will come in, hougton does need spelling and think litten can step in, squad players Thompson lane paea etc can fill in, so not really old and stale as you put it, of course injuries play a part, we have 3 class halfbacks, and a decent and big 3/4 plus throw in shaul at FB and yea am optimistic of a good yea, time will tell
