Next season can’t see anyone getting past Ward, Merrin and Martin in the back row other than for injury.
Walters and Trout are lined up along with several others behind. It’s a good problem to have but you’ll have to be near international quality to get in our back row.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the potential in the new Leeds side develop over a few years. Real shame we missed Smithies because he looks a real prospect, but if our lads work hard and develop we will be looking handy soon.
I’m expecting Newman to come back bigger and he’ll cause some problems to teams.
We’ve had some tough times recently but it’s a good time to be a fan again. I suspect in a few years we’ll be having to use some marquee money on keeping the talent here.
Love the optimism KJ and I'm not going to knock it.
I do think next season will be one of steady rather than dramatic improvement though. We are probably 3 or 4 years away from this crop of kids making their mark on the team but no doubt there is cause for excitement.
