Leeds Rhinos • Re: RD 19 | Hull KR (H)

I wouldn't say the Championship players haven't worked - anyone who expected them all to even be starting players was kidding themselves. They were mostly brought in to add depth, except for Macdonald, who was clearly meant to be a starter (and is). McDonnell who has exceeded expectations. Hooley has only been given one shot, Roberts still looks very raw, Sangare has played most games, and really only Olpherts has been a huge letdown compared to what might have been expected. Most of these lads were bargain basement because we had no cap space.

In any event its not these signings who are playing badly far too often. Look no further than the same players who have far better pedigree but can't seem to string more than one good game together. Until we replace some of our current automatic picks in the key positions we'll continue to struggle.
