Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com • Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2

I would say Myler is one of our more consistent players, and always tries hard. For me he will never be more (or less) than a solid mid-club player, but there are other players/positions I'd address before him.

Tui has struggled for form it's fair to say, although his passing game can be fantastic a la Webb. He does have errors in him too, whether this is just him, the pressure, or a combo.

I was expecting him to tear it up and he hasn't. I'm still hoping he can do something at Leeds, he has skill but he's been like a lost lamb at times out there for whatever reasons.

Regarding our back row, most of you would take a combination of Ward, Merrin, Smith surely? I'd allow Ferres to leave along with JJB and Ablett at the end of this season, and bring in +1 real top drawer player but I don't personally think we're desperate there for this year. If we get the right props it allows Merrin to take a BR spot and we look better balanced IMO. Oledzski and Peteru have been OK, and Crosby to come in is OK. Whoever we do sign, unless it's literally a 1 year contract, needs to be a "keeper" now. Enough projects and rejects. If we continue to take other club's rejects, we become a reject club. There is no magic about Leeds that will transform players who haven't made it elsewhere in their mid-20s. Our great facilities still can't provide talent that just isn't there.
