He said he wasn't aware of anything but also said Leeds will keep quiet until there's something to announce. Regardless of who we target, if we're after a decent halfback for next year the search needs to be on now and not left until after everyone has signed, which seems to have been the case too often over the last few years, leading to signing the likes of Lolohea.

Lolohea only became a bad signing in retrospect. When we signed him I think most people were excited at his prospect. The fact that it didnt work out with us is unfortunate. He is still a good player and a proven match winner before and after Leeds

Yeah, agreed. He was actually a good capture by the club. Just wrong place, wrong time…..

We certainly have some major cap to play with now Leeming gone plus a couple more who won't be retained. Should be in the market for some top quality additions.

Will probably need to upgrade the younger stars like O'Connor, Smith and maybe Gannon.
If we release Tet,Sezar,Donaldson and Fusitua we should be able to bring in a HB,upgrade the young uns and look at a FB

O'Connor and Smith both signed new contracts last season, so theres no rush for those two

Lolohea was a mess when we signed him and wasn't playing regularly for Wests, as now one of the worst teams in the NRL. He played just 6 games for them the year he signed for us, and spent the rest of the year in reserve grade. Not sure why anyone would be 'excited' by his signing at all. I know I wasn't.
