Is Donaldson good enough for a club like Leeds, absolutely not, but I’d pick him over Sangare every day of the week for his willingness. Never see him give less than 100%
I’m certainly not writing off sangare, he’s young for a prop and he was very good at the World Cup for France where he was punching holes in the D regularly. He will get there

Oh he can do that, but he just goes missing (even during his limited minutes) after making a bit of an impact initially.

He’s an example of how far standards have dropped. Can you imagine him playing the way he does if JP and Kylie were in the prop rotation with him. Our players simply don’t push each other anything like enough. Sangare has most of the raw tools, but needs to significantly up his work rate and aggression.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

In interviews he always sounds just happy to be here, which is great but come on the honeymoons over he needs to kick on and push himself. It's a real balance for a coach to get right, to have the players happy and having fun whilst also pushing to be the best and marrying those values together. Do we have the players, the squad drive and coach that really want it...

Hmmm some rose tints there, we had a few plodders in their time aswell. And a few 5th placed finishes in the league in fact JPs first season with us wasn’t great which he admits himself.
Sangare is young and in his first season with us hopefully he will come good.
Wouldn't it be great after this week, if after the game, regardless of result we were all talking about Jack Sinfield and his potential. I hope he gets the call up.
