Or clearing house. This season's a write-off anyway. If Austin wasn't going to stay and was causing problems internally, this is better than keeping him around.

Looks like its the other way around, that its Austin rather than the club that has had enough?

He couldn't leave to another club unless Leeds agreed.

What has Austin had enough of? not getting the contract he wants?

Im not privvy to whats gone on obviously but it seems (as i posted earlier) that the communication process at leeds has caused some discontent with a few players this year. You want to fully back the club and I get that, but not everything adds up in their favour for me.

As you say its hard to know what's fully gone on but I do back the club 100% on the Austin issue.

I've not heard communication issues as part of the reason Walters left?

Leeming left because he threw his toys out of the Pram after getting the captaincy taken off him, and Austin has just been a bit of an idiot.

There seems to have been a few times this season that the players have contradicted what Rohan's said in interviews. Rohan said that we were in talks and had made an offer to Austin, Austin then stated in an interview after this that there'd been no offer, and no talks. There were a few contradictions over the Walters saga too.

I understand these things always need to be treated with a degree of sensitivity and confidentiality but things just don't seem to be adding up at the moment.

The

Rohan said that we as a club don't do negotiations in Public he also said they had had talks with Austins agent and was in constant dialog with Austin.

Austin has said Tetevano wasn't getting support from the club , The club and Tetevano said differently, Austin said the club hadn't talked to him about his contract, the club said they had, Austin goes on a podcast slagging GH off and talking about another players contract in Public.

I'm backing the club on the Austin situation.

I don't think there was a Walters saga the club made him a much improved offer, and Wigan offered him a better one and it was closer to home, the saga seemed to be manufactured by fans to be honest.

Are there any rumours of an imminently incoming half back?

The club could be leaving themselves in a dangerous predicament if not. We will be without any first team quality halfbacks come February, with a huge shortage of halfbacks on the market.

Rohan’s weekly press conference this afternoon. Will be interesting to hear what he says.
