As well as he played on Saturday, that's once in his Leeds career. He started off at Warrington like a house on fire, but that didn't last. I suspect that he's a good player who's age is catching up with him a bit. I'd be looking at replacing all three of 1, 6 and 7 if we can, but if we can't then Austin is probably the one I'd keep.

Think we need one new half back doubt we'll sign two but lets see how Hooley goes at fb first.With him and Myler contracted next season not convinced a third fb will be on the agenda.

the fact myler is contracted for next year shows how badly the cap has been managed. at his age 2 should have been the maximum he got

We don't need to replace 1,6&7 at once.

But they do need replacing sooner rather than later and we can't get stuck looking in the basement bin last minute because we have stuck with past it players until they literally can't/ quit.

If we don't replace one or two of 1,6 ir 7 then next time we have a huge list to find

Jack Wighton is available for next season. He's 30 and on big money, but would be worth exploring at least.

I wouldn't go there. We need either a proper halfback or a running fullback. Wighton's really a strong running centre but plays 6 for the Raiders because that's where he wants to play. If we did sign him he'd have to be a swap for Austin. No way could you pair them at halfback.

If we were to look at the NRL, I would take brooks in a heartbeat. If Croft can be a star over here, brooks should have a walk in the park. If not, I'd have a look at Brayden trindall or dean Hawkins, both back up halves at their respective clubs. Also Canterbury seem like they won't be keeping Kyle Flanagan beyond this year.

Leeming no longer a Leeds Rhinos player according to RS at the presser.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Wed Mar 29, 2023 4:40 pm  

Wrt Leeming.
I take it we didn`t get a fee for him which seems a bit daft to me.

Matt Shaw reporting we are "one of the more active clubs in putting out the feelers" for next year. Looking forward to what RS does with so much cap free!

We’ve got a really good squad this year. I’m excited for the now! We can beat anyone if we play well and expansive ….
