Fitzgibbon won't come to Leeds I wouldnt think. Can go to FC with Hoy and Clifford or KR with Sue and Peters. All ex Newcastle pals. Expect him to go to a hull club.

Where’s the Fitzgibbon rumours come from ? Is it realistic?

Matt Shaw has said he's had talks. He's confirmed that he's very likely coming to SL next year

Fizgibbon would choose Leeds over Ull. Anyone in their right mind would.

We have plenty of back rowers....now.

Bentley
Donaldson
Tetevano

All potentially leaving

Tetevano would have to be the one leaving, as he's quota

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue May 30, 2023 8:37 am  

For all the talk of Bentley going who's going to have him on his form this year?

There are other quota players likely to be leaving though.

Sezer
Fusitua
possibly Austin

Normally I’d agree he needs another year to rebuild some market value.

But the way the nrl salary cap is someone might take a flier on him.

I'd keep Bentley, if he wants to stay. He is about to enter his peak years, and gives a young back row a bit of bite. He crosses the line at times, but I think he can reign it in.

I doubt he goes to the NRL. The officials and judiciary are even more zealous than they are here. He'd struggle to avoid a lot of suspensions

I too would keep Bentley.
Yes he can get into bother and he does mis tackles.
But his workrate is second to none and gives everything on the pitch.
Maybe he fancies a go in the NRL and we could swap him with Fitzgibbon?
