Hall and Watkins are the closest we have to 'star' players. If I was Hall and wanted to stay I'd still be looking for some commitments around team strengthening. Is it possible that Hall's decision to stay/not stay affected McDermott's position?

I read from GH's words that he's not that bothered in terms of retention, but Hall aside, of the list of uncontracted players the only one that would make a big difference would be Moon. With the others - Mullally, Delaney, JJB, Ablett and Walters - I can't imagine there's a queue of clubs lining up to sign them, so GH should be relaxed as Leeds probably have most of the negotiating power.

I'd retain Walters with the effect this year, but let Delaney, JJB, Ablett go. Moon appears to be home sick again so going to home (Wigan)!

One year only I hope. Gives us a bit of continuity and the new coach time to assess and put replacements in place if he deems necessary

When Walters came into the team he looked half decent. Good pace and ran really impressive lines. Then after the off season, it looked like they'd tried to bulk him up too much and turned him into a McDermott forward. Maybe he'll have a new lease of life under a new coach. And he'll work on his defence. Could become a good squad player

How anyone can argue with Mullally getting a new deal I don't know. He's paid very little and delivers much more than you could expect from a squad player - and you can't just fill the squad up with young players in the props.

I would agree. he's a plodder but like you say a squad player and every team has those
