Surely he'll get a move to a super league club if London are forced back down

I do hope Jack Sinfield makes it.
I`ve been touting for him to replace Frawley all season and now Frawley is putting in a sort of decent performance, well for half a game anyway!

Frawleys performances show that he can play well when the pack is on the front foot. What he lacks is the ability to drag a side out of the mud when we're on the back foot. Look at Sneyd's 40/20 at the weekend for contrast.

The problem with Sinfield is at his age and level of experience, he's not going to be able to do that either. Coupled with his defence, it makes sense to keep playing Frawley for now.

From what we've seen of our young players who've debuted this season, I think McCormack and Lumb have a good chance of making it. I'd be really surprised if Sinfield, Edgell, TNW or Ruan make it beyond lower end of SL or champ rugby. Would love to be proved wrong though.

Don`t think you will be far off with your assumptions.

We want Watkins back, apparently

They've scoured world RL for a second row replacement and come up with 33/34 yo Kallum Watkins.

I thought Blease might have put a stop to these nonsense signings.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Aug 05, 2024 3:55 pm  

We cannot credibly sign Kallum back. After the way we threw him out because we wanted cap space even though he had time left on his contract, and what he has been through since. He may well be better than all of our options, but he's 33 now and we should be going for someone better and younger.

Loved watching him as possibly the last great genuine centre for Leeds, but it would be a mistake to resign him I'm afraid.

Back row of Watkins and Hall

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Aug 05, 2024 5:28 pm  

Ancient though he may be,Kal is clearly a more dangerous runner than any our second rowers and for that matter, either of our centres. Dear me.

McDermott and Peacock haven`t said yes yet!
