Will no doubt get slated on this by those who cant look beyond the end of their nose cos he's not much of a well liked yorkshire man, but what would peoples thoughts be if we were one of the clubs in the running?;

OK hes well past his best but has still done a job for leeds for the past 2 yrs and is still probably in the top 5-6 centres in the league.



His age goes against him of course, but it almost fits perfectly for both parties who have suddenly found themselves short. We're desperately short in the centres with the loss of Joel and he is suddenly clubless. Cant see him being likely to command a lot wage wise and we could probably get him knock off for offering him the opportunity of playing for the country's biggest club - what better way to go out?



Am I the only one who could see the massive benefits for both parties of a short 1 yr deal. Plugs a massive gap for us until we have someone in the acadamy to step up and could improve some of the younger lads immensley just by getting the opportunity to work with one of the best centres of the SL era.



He'd do a similar job as connelly in his 2nd stint IMO - never set the world alight, and never be as he was at his best, but he would certainly sturdy the back line and could develop charnley beyond recognition defensively in one year, thus adding value here also.



For me our back line would suddenly look far stronger if we had

...OK we may have the oldest centre partnership in the league but there'd not be many better!



Know which of the two above options I'd rather have as I can see the latter leading to a right wing turnstyle far worse than anything we saw last year.
