When I say big club I mean those in the premiership which will likely have players with the X factor. Brighton aren’t a big club, but who would you take from their bench thats going to get us the extra bit of quality?
We took White from them, why are you narrowing search to just players on bench from Prem clubs?
Let's get into the PL first then worry about the standard of players when we cross that bridge.
Doesn't getting to the PL add £100 million plus?
Great to see the players warming up with
Rob Burrow emblazoned on their warm up gear,
smashing touch by the club.
A lot of Rhinos players, local Leeds and areas lads
are United fans...Rob recently diagnosed with MND,
a disease Don Revie died from.

We did fine with Pablo missing earlier in the season... he’s a big miss but it is possible! Better if we have Roberts fit though .. and this is the problem... our two 10’s are injury prone.

We only won 2 out of 6 matches when Pablo was out.

Fair enough, I was surprised by that stat too... but they can be a bit misleading. During that time we lost with 10 men at millwall, and lost at charlton... a game I was at, they had 1 chance and scored, we weren’t great but should have won easily. We also had 2 tough away games at promotion rivals that we drew and a couple of wins including beating WBA. Our subsequent winning run was against mid/low table sides.
Of course we miss him, though he’s still quality when on his game.

My thoughts on it exactly.
milky, I don't know if there is an exact correlation, but certainly, then and now, we're not yielding as many points per game as when he is in the team.
I like that it gives Costa a chance, but pointless if we're not playing to Costa's strengths.
In our position, jan should solely be about insuring against our position. No thoughts of next season required... loan/buy whatever is needed to cover injuries, loan returns, goalkeeper suspensions etc. Straightforward business decision to get to the promised land. Worry about next year when you know what division you’re in.
