| Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"We wanted to sign Ellis, a world class backrower, we shouldn't change from that plan. Other than Ablett we don't have world class in that deapartment, just solid graft. We need a high class high impact player for that role. Would like to see JJB used as the impact sub where IMO he would excell, rather than running his blood to water as he does now with less effect.
I would release Webb, Kirke, and Hauraki, and other than the high class backrower I would promote from within. Unless there was any chance whatsover in signing Thurston, Cherry-Evans, or the young kid at New Zealand Warriors, in which case I would bring in in a shot.'"
Poor Judgement of how JJB should be used that, he is a a grafter who sets a good tone you want him on as much as possible, not an impact sub. |

Seriously mate, wind your fecking neck in and stop following me around. You talk 5h1te, and I'll leave it at that. You boring individual.
I'll make my own judgements when giving an opinion, and I would back mine over yours anyday. So do one. |

Was that a plan or just opportunism?
I think we're well stacked for backrowers but do agree that an Ali (impact/gamebreaker) type second row would be nice...problem is they're like hens teeth and the ones that are good are unlikely to leave the NRL (or not join the NRL in SBW's case). It really is a shame things didn't work out with Eastwood.
Also, as good as Ellis is he wouldn't have given us that either. |

What about in the halves for the future?
Danny and Rob with Sir Kev have been great, but have we anything coming through to supplement them as they come towards the end of great careers?

We seem to have decent long-term succession planning in place for our veterans at prop, hooker, fullback (Smith or Briscoe), stand-off (Ward or Hardaker) and backrow. The only position it looks like we'll have to buy in over the next few years (unless an Ali-type impact player becomes available) is scrum-half, although it's hardly urgent at the moment.

On the whole I agree with your views. However one alternative might be at full-back. I don't think Smith will be with us next year. It could be BJB at full-back with either a youngster being promoted to the first team squad or a signing. There was a rumour a couple of weeks ago about David "Wolfman" Williams signing for us which brought some positive or negative reaction from supporters on this forum. I don't know how reliable the rumour is but it's an alternative. |

The only Williams we should be after from Manly is Tony.
T-Rex would be a cracking signing.

We have Stevie Ward who can play stand off. |

I would agree. JJB has been the workhorse engine of the Leeds pack for some time now capable of playing the full 80. Why change a winning formula? |

Ollie Olds (7) has looked decent in the U20's and although he may not be a new Burrow or Mcguire Sean Casey has done a good job aswell.
In terms of a futire 6 i honestly think that is where Ward will stay and further down the line IF he lives up to his potential look out for Liam Sutcliffe taking the 13 shirt. |
