Jon Wilkin is a Hull lad and would be a better signing.



Ryan Hampshire was on our books, if Shaul and Rakin go then we'll need a FB

The need to balance quality with experienced quantity I'd have thought.

Pleased with it as a squad signing. Just hope it doesn't limit game time for Turget and Abdull.

Who has Shaul signed for?

When did we sign Sarginson?

The signings are done I'd imagine. Cheap squad player always useful to any team. Key word being SQUAD. Leeds had many average players during years of success. All about balance

I could see them on loan for a season

Wouldn't have a problem with Washbrook as a squad player.



Please not a stand in half back, though.

This. The only problem with Washbrook (and also Tommy Lee) was the club would play a daft game of bulking then up to play Loose and Hooker respectively and then moving them back to the halves to solve yet another half back crisis and then wondered why it didn't work!

Dont mind Washy tbh. Always seeme to play well for Wakey and as an experienced cheap squad player hes a massive improvement on Howorth

I'm struggling to understand this signing. What does Washbrook add to the squad. He wasn't good enough when he left and he won't improve the squad now. It's all very well saying he will only be back up and will be cheap but what message does this send to our under 19's?

We have plenty of back row forwards and are supposed to be bringing in an NRL forward too so if we are signing Washbrook does that mean someone is leaving?

If we're bringing in a backrower from the NRL, I don't really see the need for another unless we're losing someone. Even moving Ellis up to prop would leave Minichiello, Westerman, Whiting, Thompson, Hadley, Turgut, Abdull and the new signing as back row options. Do we need 8 players for typically 4 places? I think a prop would be more useful if Paleaaesina leaves, personally.
