With three players leaving at the end of the season, especially Peacock and Sinfield it leaves a lot of room in our salary cap. I think it needs to be invested in a couple of new forwards. One player who is off contract is David Shillington, who is an Austrailian test and Queensland origin prop. 31 years old so coming into his prime years as a prop. I think it'd be worth GH at least having a look into his availability. Regarding other forwards Danny Kirmond is a player I like a lot and would like to see him in a rhinos shirt.

| Our back line looks well set so need for moves in that area, and im almost certain Sutcliffe and Mcguire will be the half back partnership for the next couple of seasons at least. In the back row we have Achurch,Ablett,Ward,Walters,Clarkson(if we retain him) and a few other youngsters who may get some game time and step up for next year so are well stocked there. Then you have JJB who can play anywhere in the pack these days and i would also put Delaney into that category.Aiton is a steady hoooker and has been good so far this season, he he worth keeping for the foreseeable, hopefully until Robbie Ward is ready.Im not too sure with Burrow.I love him when he plays this role he does off the bench, he is a match winner but he may want to be a starter and who can blame him? we will see what happen there but my personal opinion is that Rob will move on to one last bumper deal elsewhere. Our weakest area as we all know is front row but with the emergence of Singleton so far and the superb Cuthbertson we have 2 high quality players to cushion the blow of Kylie and JP.Hopefully, Baldwinson will be ready to step up next year into the squad too.
I actually don't feel as worried about a fall off from the leading pack as i did this time last year,and with Sinfield's early announcement about moving on it gives us plenty of time to find the right player to bring in, and front row is clearly the place we should be looking imo. Add One high quality prop to that squad and we look in great shape.

| Peacock and Sinfield - not all of their salary counts on the cap due to the service at the club (50% I think), so would've thought that most of that would've been spent elsewhere.
Rumour I have heard is Mickey Paea is Leeds bound, if we cant get him tied down to new deal at FC. couldn't blame him for leaving. Cracking player

| A fair chunk of the freed cap space is likely to enhance the wages of existing players IMO. My expectation is that GH will continue current strategy, i.e. prospecting for unheralded bargains.

Quote krisleeds="krisleeds"Shillington would cost a lot.
From this www.zerotackle.com/nrl/rugby-lea ... ract-2015/, id go for - in order:
Nate Myles
Tom Learoyd-Lars
Kade Snowden
Dene Halatau
Alex Glenn (unlikely)
Adam Docker (unlikely)'"
Not sure I'd be that interested in Halatau. What Leeds need is a player who can be a difference maker with ball in hand, and Halatau doesn't offer much that the existing back row doesn't do IMO.

| I forgot Thaiday was off contract. I think he might be bring pushed out of the Broncos, would love to see him play here. Be reminiscent of when Tony Carroll came over!

| A lot of the more attractive players (Snowden, Myles) on those OOC lists are not "gettable" because they're running their contract down because they're in high demand. It's really hard to get top quality from the NRL atm, beyond a retirement-funder like Gallen and then you have same problem again in 2 years.

Having said that, looking at the OOC lists Shillington and Hannant are considered on the decline but might be worth a closer look. Thaiday would be a great get for SL but probably still out of range.

| I'd like to see us have a go for Shillington, but reading the article above, with a new baby and all that a new little one entails, I just cant see him uprooting the family from a settled life and moving across the world.
Still like us to show an interest though!

| Mike Cooper, Tom Burgess, Scott Taylor and Craig Kopczak all OOC at season end. With the loss of Kylie, Sinny & JP we should be able to get a least one of them to form a quad of props with Singleton, Cuthbertson and Yates, backed up by Mulhern, Baldwinson and Tonks.
I think this may well be another 1 signing year - with Sutty and Singo effectively stepping into the shoes of Kylie & Sinny it's only JP we need an external replacement for. I see the 25 for next year being something like:
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Singleton
9. Aiton
10. Cuthbertson
11. JJB
12. Ablett
13. Ward S
14. Ward R
15. Delaney
16. Achurch
17. Yates
18. Walters
19. ? / Clarkson
20. ?
21. Handley
22. Clarkson
23. Mulhern
24. Baldwinson
25. Golding
