Hurrel posted in Instagram that he’ll be back soon so may well see him in a Leeds shirt once or twice again

We could do with one or two of our big-name players back and fit before the play offs start I think. You need those x-factor players in the big games who can create something from nothing.

A winger will probably be year after to next.Sutcliffe Broadbent and Newman will be vying for the centre spots.We also have Hall and Edwards waiting for their chance.I slightly disagree about prop i think we need two not one.

I think one more front line prop (not a project) and Muizz would work.

One is definitely a must not overly convinced about Muizz.

If we push Tet up front more; Mik, Holroyd, Prior, Tet is not a bad set with Smith at 13.



One more high-quality addition gives us the flexibility to swap Prior or Tet back to 13 if needed, and gives cover for inevitable injuries.



Everyone else has said it too but we need a really strong ball carrier who can punch holes in the opposition. That would take a lot of pressure off the young players and hopefully allow a more even spread of the work, and lessen the risk of injuries.



At this stage in our development and title-winning ambition, I just do not see the point of any more senior squad-filler signings. We have some great young players at the club. We already have Austin, Myler, Donaldson, Thompson and maybe even Mellor without an obvious starting place next year.

It's really hard to balance quality with quantity but we should aim to reap the benefit of the young players on relatively low salaries over the next couple of years.



With the attrition rates we've seen this year it looks like the club is really aiming to have quality cover in all positions next year, not least at half back where injuries in 2021 have essentially destroyed our season.

I agree with this.



I think now is the time to do what we did in 2003/2004 and put the faith in youth.



I didn't think it was right to do this at the start of last year as I did't think they were quite ready but I think players like Holroyd, Broadbent, Gannon have served their apprenticeship and should be starters, I know Gannon is very Young but I think he looks like one of those players that just look ready for it even at his young age.

Agree, and I also think we have enough depth to have a Tony Smith 2004 forward rotation, keep everyone fresh and avoids burnout leading to injuries.

We’ve got some fantastic young players who are all ready to play Super League regularly, Jack Walker 22, Harry Newman 22, Jack Broadbent 19, Cameron Smith 22, Mikolaj Oledski 23, Tom Holroyd 20, Morgan Gannon 17. Then Sam Walters, Jarrod O’Connor, Liam Tindall, Corey Hall, Levi Edwards who have potential but would probably benefit from spending most of the 2022 season on loan in the Championship imo.



We still need another prop imo, we’ve got 4 quality props, but if 1 or 2 get injured which is inevitable we are short up front. You’ve gotta have strength and quality outside the first choice 17 to compete near the top of the table, some we look to have especially if we bring in a prop.

Can’t say I agree with this, you play your strongest squad unless a player is injured (injuries will always happen so you still need quality depth to a squad) it’s not u12’s where you let everyone have a turn, the best man for the job takes the field.

No, there has to be a medium-term view of things. Flogging the same team every week (if we were able to, unlikely) increases their chances of injury and certainly leaves them with less in the tank come the business end of the season. The coach has to play a long game, when it's possible. This is even more the case with the younger players like Gannon.
