Gone, Liam McAvoy has signed for Lleeds

strange decision. we're desperately short of props and we let the best homegrown prospect coming through leave.

Thank goodness Franny and Duffy went over to Leeds to learn about negotiating and signing players.

If its true very silly to let him go

Perhaps we didn't have much choice.

If he's gone there it's because Leeds really wanted him and offered him the cash we couldn't afford / were unwilling to pay.



We'll get a fee no doubt. It will be peanuts, but all adds up.

If its true it might well not be totally in our control, I'm fairly certain we want him to stay, but if other clubs are also interested, including the current super league champions - how far above your original budget do you reach?

Oh and Ladbrokes is our new sponsor too? Think I'll wait till it's confirmed.



Would be disappointing to lose another though





MnM

Scrutes (bad injury record)

Evans (never played SL)

New Prop - wait and see

Langers (hopefully)



The encouraging thing is that FC has said Evans probably wont play every game, and he's looking for a frontline prop. Hope its a good un Franny.

Without knowing all the ins and outs it's difficult to comment but it's disappointing if he has gone, especially given out lack of options up front.



I wouldn't be surprised to see us sign someone like Keith Mason.

Unsure about this. He does have good potential but isn't going to be ready for SL for at least another year. We've obviously offered a contract based on potential but he believes he is worth more. We'll have to see how he develops to see whether this is a good deal or not.

what about the ones i have got right, cant get them all right, but i think i might be on this one

While it's disappointing it shows the position we are in. We can't enter bidding wars with clubs such as Leeds for players who gave never played a game of SL. We can only really do that with players we know are going to make it such as Bateman, O'Brien etc
