Adam Cuthbertson will be playing for Leeds in this game. He will retire after the game. A fitting send of for a great player.

It should be extremely enjoyable for this squad to face up to some of the world’s best players. Will be a sharp learning curve but will give them some valuable experience. Plus ,put them on view for any super league scouts.

Absolutely, I just think it’ll be a cricket score when they play New Zealand. It would be great if a Jamaican domestic league player got a pro or semi pro deal out the tournament.

That NZ side has the capability of really challenging the Aussies.

Anyone but Australia to win...basically

From that squad, so much for not playing leaving players
I think Rhyse Martin may drop out but that would be understandable

Re: Leeds V NZ : Mon Oct 03, 2022 7:46 pm  

Surprised If Bentley, Martin and myler play so close to the WC

Surprised if we don’t draft in more former Rhinos what are retiring. None know of any more?

It was always an absurd suggestion that players under contract would for some reason refuse to play against one of the best teams in the world in a farewell appearance.

I got it wrong about the strength of team by looks of that squad.
Will Cuthbo bring Ferres along to twist the knife into NZ ?
