Halley seems another Kevin Penny/Paul White type of player to me.

This is a terrible call. Halley can run fast and has plenty of enthusiasm, but other than that has little ability. Can't break tackles and more error prone than Michael Platt was at the height of his brain explosion period. There's a reason he's being shipped out to Keighley. If Leeds bring this guy in we might as well be looking to bring Worrincy and Sheriffe back to SL as well. If you don't believe me read the equivalent thread on the Bulls board.

A call for Leeds to sign a Bradford reject, how the mighty have fallen

I dont remember this been agreed accross the board. Fair play you have banged on about it long enough but i don't think its nailed on.



In this seasson when he would have got more chances than ever, he is yet again injured. Some of these kids are just injury prone.



Personally if our future is built totally around Watkins and BJB i am a little worried.

Oh I don't disagree.....that is why i'm [ualso[/u in favour of giving other promising young uns (like Wilson.. etc) a good run .....and signing a good (NRL?) genuine threequarter (Cooper?) - not another forward masquerading as such.

What is your obsession with Cooper? He must be nearly as old as Senior.

Fwiw Cooper is 32 and still performing to a very high standard as shown in the WCC and the NRL this year.

Plus he's way ahead of Senior in current form.(before his injury)

This season is a write off anyway so why not throw one or two of the kids into the fray - give them some experience while it doesn't really count.

I agree with Nantwich on this one. Cooper would still be an outstanding signing, on a maximum 2 year deal. The blind faith in youth, regardless of whether they can cut it, is what I don't particularly agree with. But I'm coming round to the idea that Wilson might be worth a run out.

+1



senior thank you and gg career. Webb you've been sh*t since your last big contract extension kindly gtfo

Hurrah !





With respect there is no 'blind faith' in my sentiments; simply a preference to youth being given an opportunity over the alternative of persisting with tired old [ihas beens[/i that are out of form/long past their best (Senior, Ali, Lleulai, Bailey, Kirke etc) or, worse, playing regulars [u[iregularly[/i[/u out of position (Sinfield, Delaney and Ablett).

I understand where you're coming from, but the young players have to be good enough, otherwise there's little point. I don't know if they are personally, but I'm sure the coaching staff (like them or not) have their own opinions on that.
