just_browny: Hard to argue against the fact that he brings a set of skills we need, although I would have prioritised a forward or two.
As for Leyland, he presumably becomes Bullock Mk II, a bloke Sam signed up and then immediately fell out with.
Bullock crapped in the nest. It was his own fault that he and another ex-player left Wire.
Hopefully Leyland will be eased into the team as he develops.
