I'd rather we went with we have than signed falloon.

He's a bad egg.

Falloon is a definite upgrade on Aiton based on his on-field ability. As for his off field issue (there has only been the one), I'm willing to give him a chance.... It was out of season,and he was just unlucky to be caught (though no charges have been proven anyway). It shouldnt have an effect on the Leeds culture - it hasn't so far - the use of recreational drugs is not a problem exclusive to Gold Coast.

Yeah but there'll be no Peacock or Sinfield to give him what for.

The concern around alleged off field activities shouldn't be sniffed at. This is a critical period for the club, the loss of some key senior players who have been part of setting the tone at Leeds for 10 years or more, leaves us slightly more vulnerable to bad apples damaging the culture that has served us well. The gent in question has been found to have no case to answer, that may be on a technicality or he may have been lucky or he may have been unfairly drawn into the enquiry. But I would be surprised if GH brought anyone into the group about whom there was any serious doubt.

Good grief instead of the injection of a new hooker are you suggesting we draw a line in the sand bacause the guy is too pushy? This will only needle him further when he sees what a hash he has made of it. What a dope.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Tue Oct 20, 2015 9:45 pm  

He sure knows his way to the white line.

I think his signing will be announced next week. Hope he fits in and does a job for us.

Re: 2016 Leeds Rhinos Squad : Tue Oct 20, 2015 11:18 pm  

Its pretty clear that a bunch of Titans players were regularly using drugs. Falloon was one of a number interviewed. The fact that he and a few others got off because of the nature of their texts whilst others are being pursued doesn't change the stench of the thing at all. Most clubs would steer a wide path around any of the players involved.
