Whitbread’s agent apparently confirms it won’t be Leeds.

Cooper John's to FC should go well over here.

He’s one who’s worth a look for SL clubs I agree.

Can’t see any point in signing Tanginoa, we don’t need another second row to use a quota spot

Yep. We cannot afford to fluff a quota spot in a position where it would be a luxury. It has to be a half - a good one - and a centre with some pace. Appreciate we also need a prop and potentially a hooker, but we have a decent chance of sourcing both from non quota players.

Another lazy bit of RL journalism by 'serious about RL' (one of the ones where they copy and paste the first 3 generic opening paragraphs from 10 other articles) states Peter Matautia would be the perfect signing for Leeds. Perfect for what, staying in 8th place?!

Could we get Kallum Watkins back to play at centre? Academy trained, good lad, top pro, appreciate he has played at second row of late but would get cap dispensation and leave us 2 quota spots open.

Not a bad shout if Salford were prepared to listen to offers and we wanted to come. We won't be able to spend wages we saved on Leeming on next years salary cap so why not spend them on a fee?

That's going on croft, haven't you heard...

Or failing that Gary's mid season coach hunting jaunt to Aus.

Positive thoughts, Seth. "We will win the treble next year." Repeat 100 times before bed.

Just a question what makes anyone think Kallum would want to come back to 8th best team in the league when he's doing just nicely in his own back yard?

It's called sport. And hardly a plummet from the 7th placed team.
