mullaly has a great deal of go forward, will easily make an average of 10m a carry but given you need to replace an 80 minute prop and possibly another who puts in a great deal of hardwork mullally isn't the answer. 7 tackles a game (missing 3) mullally has delivered in one game this season, and he's a bit of a liability penalty wise he just isn't going to be a suitable replacement for the likes of peacock and kylie- but will bring you great go forward. Anderson has kept dropping him due to his poor defence, that seemed to be more important to him than the avg 10 metre per carry he was delivering. I'd like to have kept him, so it seems would hudds, but it appears his agent has struck again!
He's a great asset to bring on for big impact, but for hardwork You will need at least another signing up front.

Pretty much. I think that Rapira brings more to the table day 1, but Mullally will give more over 3, 4 or 5 years down the line

Aside from the timing of these announcements, there is little to be gained from the comparison unless you are interested in pointless inter-club peeing contests.

Despite the expected media hype, no-one in their right mind would think that Mullally has been signed as a direct like for like replacement for Jamie Peacock (even if the club hope to develop him in that direction).

I'd expect Leeds to be still looking for someone with more experience in the front-row, although admittedly this is a role that is going to require new signings and a collective step up from the likes of Singleton and other players coming into the team. Mullally will play an important (but initially secondary) role in rebalancing our pack for 2016.

A 23 year old forward is young. I'd much rather we bring through our own youth or sign young players with potential than waste money on "big names" who spend more time on the sidelines than they do on the playing field.

I'll bookmark this thread I think, we can compare notes this time next year.

On another note, when did Hudds get so many fans and why are they all 3 of them on the Leeds board?
