The left Centre really should be Jack Broadbent before the end of this coming season then that’s a position we don’t need to look at for 10 years.

I agree but that will be tough for Jack as it seems he his third choice at present.

This for me is one of the most interesting (if risky) seasons in prospect I can remember for Leeds.

Nearly every player is either fighting for a spot, a contract, and/or has a point to prove. Hunwicks has to have some impact, although it may take a while to really see it.

Agar and Long have an actual team to train with in pre-season, which we didn't have last year.

I'm keeping fingers tightly crossed over Fusitu'a. I think this is a cracking signing, but it could be a disaster too. I can't wait to see this new look side trotting out next year though - if nothing else I think we'll be entertained.

That no.6 for Tonga looked class.

Given the way he tackles Tui would be hopeless at Sumo Wrestling

I disagree, he’d move out of the way and the other wrestler set for collision would fall over…

To be fair Alan Tait could get out of the way quicker than Tui ever could. A great runner but defensivelly a joke. He was like a turnstyle letting people thru. Fans loved him too.

Tait was a bit of a let-down to me. When we signed him I thought we'd see lots of match-winning games but he generally only stood out when the team played well. Neither Cup Final against Wigan were amongst his better efforts.

That catch off his toes to put Ellery over in the 94’ semi was worth his transfer fee alone. At lease it felt it at the time
