Best of luck to Kruise. As with all Brits in the NRL I hope he goes well. He can't do much worse than Hodgson this year, who looks a shadow of his former self.

So it turns out that he is free to negotiate contracts for 2024 and could be back in SL without Leeds getting any financial recompense even though he was originaly contracted till the end of '24

The Sleeve will not have let him go without some kind of Gentlemen's agreement with GC/Holbrook.

It's got nothing to do with Gold Coast, he only has a contract till the end of this year

Isnt that obvious? He's no longer a leeds player, has signed for GC for a year and then will be a free agent.

Ooh I can't wait for a groundbreaking partnership to be announced. Can't be many teams left that we've not got one of those with.

Was the Craig Innes signing by Manly the first of these ground breaking partnerships Seth?
We also had the Greg Eastwood saga when he couldn't initially come over to fulfil his contract for some minor conviction (Was it a driving offense?) and had a season at the Bulldogs,before joining us and then signed for the Bulldogs due to home sickness (after being bottled in the head whilst out in Halifax)

Didn’t know that happened. How did you find out?

Eastwood was superb when he managed to play for us. He could have become a Leeds legend if he'd have fulfilled his contract.

thought the Eastwood thing was well known.
that and his eating macdonalds every day
