In it McDermott obviously mentions the 2 obvious choices we have for fullback currently in Hardaker and BJB as well as saying he thinks Watkins and even Hall could possibly play well in that position..........no mention at all of Lee Smith, i think that is pretty much confirming the end for Smith at Leeds.

He's only playing fullback as the kid at fullback did his ACL on debut. He was supposed to be a next big thing. Moltzen was down to be at 7 with Marshall at 6

Quote krisleeds="krisleeds"He's not just a Full Back.

Hardaker is showing loads of potential but he's yet to play against a top side and we know what his passing was like when he played centre! Moltzen will add quality to the squad, probably mean the end of Smith, and that's why GH wants to sign him.

Has GH said anything on this matter yet?

Surprisingly no, the quotes in the media pieces were from B McD. I assume though that GH had authorised the responses.

He does seem like a good worthwhile acquisition if true......Hardaker would appear to be much better suited to FB than LC though; so maybe utilise Moltzen for LC ?.... or SO ??

I would still like to see Keinhorst given a run at LC against London; or maybe - dare I suggest again - Hall at LC with Chisholm outside him. If I state it often enough it might happen

TBH I don't think the back line is the issue, it looks very exciting with only
Tweek a real quality centre or the emergence of a youngster.

If I was in charge I would be trying to address the forwards

Oh I agree Ferdy.....but maybe the club IS hoping the likes of Singleton and D.Smith will solve the problems?

Be nice if we actually gave them a chance in the first team then!!

Although I run the risk of the Southstander gestapo intervening.....I AGREE

I'd sign Moltzen.. good age, sounds a talent.. Hardaker does look promising at FB though... but he needs to be tested against good teams. It's a tough one though because we may need spend on other areas that are more needy.. such as the back row or up front.
