Sam Hall staying at Cas . Good young player who will have a big future in the game imo .

I agree on Tindall; my colleague is Rhino and was lamenting Leeds letting him go due to his potential. It's not helpful that Sutcliffe is hardly a centre to feed his winger.

Tindall just isn't a try scorer, and he certainly isn't a good attacking winger. You'd think with all his pace and evasion he'd actually be able to get over the line more often since his debut in 2020. Is it true he's only scored two tries in his entire SL career?

He was decent defensively in our GF run in 2022 but that's about as good as it got. He made his career on that break against Catalans in 2020, but it kind of sums him up really.

Leeds made the right decision to get rid of him and Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe is a decentish centre, but not a winger's centre. Tindall's issues go deeper than this IMO. Shame he hasn't kicked on in his career though.

I don't see tindall as anything better than a championship winger

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue May 21, 2024 3:15 pm  

To me Tindall very similar to Martin & Barron, both in ability & stage of career.

Suspect his contract much higher than the other two. Of the three I think Harvey Barron the one most likely to become a SL regular. Looked like he had physically grown & filled out before this last injury, hopefully the errors that blighted his last few games are gone. Don't think Martin far behind him, we keep hearing about his pace but haven't seen it really, defensively needs work. Of the three I think Tindall shows the least. Can't see all 3 being at the club next year so lets see who impresses in the meanwhile.

Bateman and Naden worth looking at, both will probably get some salary paid by Wests next season and Bateman off quota gives us other options.

A Whitehead, Asiata, Bateman backrow sounds a lot better than Okunbor, Lane and Fash.

To be fair just Asiata on his own sounds better than those 3

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed May 22, 2024 3:13 pm  

Should be all over Bateman.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed May 22, 2024 3:22 pm  

not sure a 2nd rower is where we should be spending what is likely to be a marquee salary

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed May 22, 2024 8:48 pm  

I've just read Rovers are likely to sign Davies from Les Cats. Another good pick-up after WHG.

Could do with a good rumour for us.

I'll take a tenuous link to Bateman for now..
