I guess Farah must be a good player - current NSW hooker an all - but he's not been a standout whenever I've seen him play, which isn't that often to be fair.

Non starter considering the coin he'd demand in SL.

He may be a bit blah by comparison but I'd rather get Ballin from the Tigers. He was part of a winning culture at Manly for years, and would be more likely to bring the right attitude if nothing else.

Why would Clark .....or anyone half decent..... now want to join Leeds? A team languishing at the bottom of SL with a real threat of championship football next year....would you?

The time to secure good signings would have been after a treble winning season.

The longer the club's plight continues the less and less likely we have of securing good signings for 2018 never mind 2017.

The same reason Kevin Locke went Salford, Gareth Ellis went to Hull, Terry Campese went to KR, Charley Runciman went to Widnes and ironically Ryan Brierley to Hudds.

Like I said anyone decent....Kevin Locke and Gareth Ellis are widely reported to have moved for 'mega books' .. Leeds up until the end of 2015 had a policy contrary to this and it is widely accepted that has contributed to the long unparralled team building success.

Once Leeds join the ranks of desperately trying to attract players with relative mega books (will it even be possible under the salary cap) as opposed to the better opportunities of being part of a trophy winning team (already there ) we can say goodbye to the winning team ethos of yesterday and see a similarity to the disjointed, fractious Leeds of the 1980's

The present sick man of SL would be lucky to attract such crap as Campese, Runciman and Brierley with the relative mega books.
