So is Muizz Mustapha and Corey Johnson, but still could be loaned out or moved.

You'd think if Mustapha had been sold to Bulls that he would not have been in the team photo. I suspect he is simply being loaned out.

When did Alex Foster rejoin? YEP says he's out for start of the season.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:27 pm  

Think it means Alex Sutcliffe.

YEP reporting were still looking at Jai Field as well surely he won't be brought in this season we are still light in the pack, maybe next year with possibly T.Briscoe leaving and if Evan's doesn't work out .

I'm pretty sure this is just Leeds/Bradford exploiting a bit of a loophole in the system.
You can only have 5 loaned/dual reg players in your match day 17. One way to get around this restriction is for the lower tier club to 'permanently sign' a player, usually on a short contract. Just like DWP did a few days ago.
Dan is, strictly speaking, a Bradford Bulls player now and we will hold his registration. He won't count on the loan tally. But don't be surprised if Leeds re-sign him some time in the near future. If the same happens with Mustapha then I suspect it may be a similar arrangement.

Leilani Latu has been offered to super league clubs, he's only 26 and when he was at Penrith Panthers he looked a real good prop he's been at titans last couple of seasons and his form has dipped don't think he was playing for them week in week out, but he could be the sort of prop we need to complete out squad he plays a bit like Cuthbertson did when he first came over good ball handler and a solid offload game but think he has a bit more toughness and grit than Cuthbo, wonder is were interested in him if we can sort a space on our overseas and quota spots

Not sure we should be using another quota spot on a front rower as we already have Prior.

I think we are missing a top quality winger now. Handley is just ok. Briscoe is at the fag end of his career now and seen much better days.

Would be an interesting player, was excellent for penrith, came through at the Bulldogs with Klemmer and was the more highly rated of the 2 according to the Aussie cometators. Hasnt been great for the Titans but could say that for nearly every player that goes to the titans
