Sorry you disagree, but put the Kleenex back on the box over “CJ” obviously a fan boy who cannot accept he’s not the super star in waiting you think he is. Hope he goes well at York or Bradford because thats his level.

Go I think, he’s had his time and whilst there are positives to his game, there are also significant negatives for the team too. It’s time for the next generation to have a chance,
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Oh I see school is out, you obviously have a beef from a previous life with him, enjoy the 6 week holiday

Go. He's been a good servant to the club and single-handedly won us some tricky games in hard times. That said, his off the cuff style is too high risk to pay dividends every week, and in the meantime we need someone with much better distribution from DH. Our outside backs have been starved of possession too long - any wonder our attack was so bad under Agar? Not Dwyer's fault alone but we need a proper 9 on the field for 80 mins.

I'm happy for Dwyer to leave but I am concerned that O'Connor and Johnson are currently unproven. If Leeming breaks his leg the first match of next season then we are left with some very unproven hookers. Of course, either or both players could turn out to be future stars for hookers at Leeds, albeit equally they could turn out to be very average.

I think that’s why it’s important one or both of them get as many minutes as possible for the rest of this year.

This will he stay or go may be academic, the club would probably offer him only a one year deal and the player would want 2 to 3 years and I think he would get that elsewhere .I think he would reject a one year deal
Soon we will be dancing the Fandango

Dwyer would be playing short minutes if he stays and Leeming is fit. That's assuming he even gets in the squad. I doubt very much Dwyer would want to play that role.
With small squads we can't afford to have too many players for one position who aren't playing. O'Connor and Johnson might not be as good as Dwyer yet, but both have time to learn, and can both play other roles that mean they're more valuable to the squad. Johnson looks like he'll be groomed as a hooker/halfback and O'Connor can play 13.
Anyway this is all moot. Smith will have watched umpteen videos of Dwyer in headless chicken mode and seen it first hand live, and made a call that he wasn't going to be offered a contract. Hopefully the era of retaining players because they are good lads or occasionally play well when the rest of the team is in form are over.

Looks like he's on his way to FC. As good as his running game was for you last night, his distribution was a bit iffy at times, but that sounds like what you get from him....

That's exactly what you get with him. He's a very useful impact player, but his distribution from DH is awful. I'm sure he'll do well and will be popular for a while. But when things are going against you, he will very quickly become a target.
