I cannot see how we would accommodate him given the players we have in Tierney, Hampshire, Sarginson etc as cover at FB.
Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?

We should keep our options open and register an interest(assuming he's not already decided to take the Koucash). If we don't agree a deal with Blake Green and decide not to take up the option on Matty Bowen, BJB would be an excellent signing. Obviously it would be great if Dan Sarginson developed into a top fullback but it's still early days and there are lots of varaibles.

Could he be developed into a centre or have we got any youngsters who are ready to step up?

We have none ready. The other alternative is Josh to centre and BJB on the wing. I think sooner rather than later Josh to centre makes sense.

I'd like him as a centre given concerns about Goulding and injury-prone Thornley. His versatility obviously a great asset too.

BJB Ed? How do we know he can play centre? I am not sure he has played much if at all there for Leeds and I think we all remember Pat being put down as a centre when he arrived was a bad move.

I don't understand this statement! Where/when is Thornley injury prone?

This is the first major injury I can recall Iain having, is there another instance that you know about? Please, tell me.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It seems BJB may be going to either Salford or Warrington.
That really is being between the (red) devil and the deep blue......
