Mc Lelland ?

[orrsome]

If you look at the top end of Super League, all the teams up there have an experienced 6 or 7 that can manage a game, or in the case of Catalans both Maloney and Drinkwater, so they have both who can. Now Leeds have Sezer and Gale
In our most successful season of recent years, we had Gale and Roberts.

I'm not against developing a young halfback such as Trueman OR McLelland, and I think O'Brien is OK as a back-up but if we want to compete with the best we need to invest in a halfback with a bit of star quality, probably from the NRL or a South-sea Islander or even from one of the Aus feeder teams.
Surely Radford has contacts to find one of these players. If not, why not ask someone like Vowles for a recommendation.

I'm very underwhelmed if we have re-signed McLelland as I cant see success with any combination of Trueman, O'Brien and McLelland in the halves

Probably a signing behind Radford back. Cant see him going for this. Heard he wanted Sneyd who was keen to come.

What a signing that would be. Sneyd was great in his time at Cas and was gutted to see him go. Doesn't go missing in big games either

Which is why it won't happen and we're associated with the likes of McC.

He was garbage in the 2014 CC final to such a extent Powelly yanked him off

[Horsifer]

I agree that we need someone to boss the team around the park. Gale was the master at this: Gobby and decisive. He'd take the defensive line on and struck fear into them. Sadly neither Richardson or Trueman do this enough.

Thats what we need in my view, someone with the strength of character and purpose like Gale, Andy Gregory, Bobbie Goulding. Whether that's part of Mclelland' game, time will tell.

But he was Lance Todd winner a couple of years later…

Yeah the 2014 final was 7 years ago and he's only gotten smarter since. I think he'd bring a lot of structure and consistency to our halves which we desperately need

Wasn’t it twice he won the Lance Todd?

[Mucky1978]

Blake Austin would do.

[Classysupercas6202]

Very underwhelming if true

[Dennis Vazquez]

Very poor if true. Need proven quality. He had been shipped on everywhere he has been.
Fortunately it's a Callum Walker story so we can put it to bed.

[Dazzyb]

He was a cas lad who moved to Warrington and then To Leeds and now back home after learning his trait on someone else’s dime . Good move. No disrespect but he’s probably better than someone we have and has the local lad mentality to notch up a level or 3?

Warrington??? He went to Scotland RU I think

[Spanishtiger]

Went to Scotland RU, for a fee I believe?

[Dazzyb]

Sorry I may have got it wrong I thought they signed him from our academy. Must have been someone else

[Spanishtiger]

Maybe you're thinking of Louis Johnson who went to wire for a fee without playing first team for us, now at KR?

[Dennis Vazquez]

We got a fee for Johnson amd McClelland without either playing a game which great business.

[gateman]

the lad worked very well with Trueman in our 19S i always thought he was the better player in the two

[Ladytiger]

O’Brien is better than the pair of them.. Trueman is most overrated player and poor Richardson is a scapegoat and he’s the blue eyed boy.. once again on the big stage he was no where to be seen. Cas need to find a more experienced half back from somewhere to play with O’Brien.. this is my opinion others may not agree

Spot on. Still don’t get all the hype apart Trueman. Can’t use the “he’s still young” line forever. If the money being discussed was correct, I would have taken it.
