Singleton I believe is looking at offers elsewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cuthbertson did leave, freeing up an overseas quota spot, wouldn’t like to lose any of the other overseas quota players. Golding, Ablett, JJB, Ferres, at least out of the window IMO

If all were to leave that should free up quite a bit of cap space, possibly between about 400/500k.

Peteru has looked OK in patches, been unlucky with injuries - but is he really good enough as an overseas player for Leeds? I’m not convinced.

he’s non fed and doesn’t count on overseas quota so releasing him wouldn’t be beneficial unless a good enough non fed player came along.

Oledzki has three or four seasons to mature at prop, the others for me are either past peak or will never reach the standard we need.

A great Leeds side starts with a fearsome front row and we simply don’t have it. Bradford took it to us and won this year. There is no way a SL side should be physically dominated by a Champ side.

Sound like the Gale deal is done.
Cas were open to it when it looked like we could get Fages, but we’ve now signed a half for next year to replace Gale. Apparently an Aussie (possibly Aidan Sezer or Brock Lamb).

Sezer looks good better than Lamb imho

I suspect he would also cost significantly more, so I’m fully expecting it to be Brock Lamb.
