Acton like hock is the type of player I like hate them when there playing against us but when there one of your own I love them getting stuck in and under players skin.

I thought it were the other way around according to your fans. To be honest you could interchange a lot of the players but realistically for me the players I would want we probably can't afford and as for the others as long as we hang on to most of our squd we should perservere with our reserve players.

When he signed for Widnes I thought it must be a different player. He did show potential at Fax but not sure he was applying himself the right way and it seems not much has changed.

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Just a minor point to add to Mark's squad list at the top. According to Gav Wilson Danny Maskill is still on a week-to-week loan spell with York and thus officially still our player, but the fact that we haven't bothered recalling him even when barely able to raise a team suggests his time here is done; judging on his appearances for York (1 since May I think) he can't get into their team either.

Still, if we can't raise 17 players, is he not better than a gap on the team sheet?

Fair point, though we don't know what the agreement has been with the player, he went to York in May and presumably hasn't trained with us since, and if we basically gave him the message that he didn't figure in our plans at that stage, perhaps it's a bit much to suddenly expect him to come back and play his heart out for us just because we are scraping the barrel.

Officially still under contract to us for next year isn't he? But I don't think any of us are expecting him to be here, and the fact that he played for Leeds against Widnes and not for us in a huge game v London confirmed that Leeds, currently at least, pull the strings with him. I only mentioned the Maskill one btw because I was surprised to realise he was still officially our player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hankinson going from Swinton to Wigan then showing up well on telly proves there are quality players below SL and the top 6 in the Championship, but it's a matter of spotting them. Duffy will be able to have a good look at them in the eights, and there will be some real bargains. As for Dual Reg, I think Rhinos are in the qualifiers because their reserves are not good enough, as many on here can testify. Maybe their wages structure is to pay automatic choices a premium and leave very little for the rest, then make it up with players from their academy who are exempt from the salary cap? If Sinfield makes a decision to strengthen the squad depth then it might be worth continuing with them, but otherwise no. The situation with Lilley was a slap in the face when Fev needed him, but I have a feeling he was offered earlier in the season but couldn't get a game ahead of Ridyard & Holmes?

Agree but as the Hankinson deal shows SL clubs seem to be more clued up about players in Championship and even League 1 these days so it's not easy. Joe Batchelor of York signed for St Helens, Wigan apparently after Barrow's Joe Bullock...the lack of quality players across all leagues at the moment seems to have sharpened everyone's radars.

Your assessment of the Lilley situation is what I assumed too. Think Leeds have struggled for 3 or 4 reasons...a lot of their stars retiring/getting old at the same time; a remarkable run of injuries; some uninspiring recruitment; and a crop of very promising youngsters that have largely so far turned out to be SL squad depth/Championship level rather than SL starting quality.

Yes, I'd think St Helens and Wigan might have a proper scouting system in place! Aside of a couple of blips (the Batley signing spree when Bastian arrived comes to mind) and a slight tendency to perhaps overrate players who played well against us, I think we have generally done a good job of identifying and signing the better players from other Championship clubs over the years.

Duffy did ok with limited money at Swinton, so hopefully he can pick up some bargains for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that they're the lowest payers of the 'big' SL clubs - at least as far as contract money goes, but with a generous bonus system. With Lilley, I think that one of the reasons he's gone to Bradford is to get him regular game time for an extended period, something he was unlikely to be guaranteed with us.
