Why not go UK for a decent prop or back row. May not be a suitable overseas option at prop. Field does make sense as hes unlikely to be sought after to go back to aus and he looks more than good enough to make an impact over here.

I cant see any UK club selling one of their top props or backrowers with the new season just upon us.

money talks

With this guy Jai Field, personally I've never heard of him, but as other have said is it worth using up a quota spot on someone who has a great highlights reel, but ultimately has just been released from his NRL contract. It just sounds a bit too familiar...

I’d say the issue with the UK qualified players is there isn’t anyone of sufficient quality in the positions we need. I don’t believe it’s a question of money...

I don't know enough about field but as a squad we do lack real pace apart from Handley. Walker is quick over a short distance but not lightening. An addition of real pace would give us an extra dimension.

Really disagree here. I was there at that game on the 20 metre line so I was very close. The first punch was warranted but the second was disgusting, but flower always loses his head for a reason, Lance said and did something to him that wasn’t really reported on. He was sorry for what happened but worse has happened, like horror tackles. The ban he got was deserved and if he came to Leeds I think it would be a good signing.

Can't disagree enough - shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a Leeds shirt. I'd rather we got relegated than sign a thug like that.

Everyone can have their own take on it. But what was rugby like back in the early 90’s, 80’s even 70’s.
I remember playing Queens and games used to get abandoned all the time because they would just want to hurt anybody and Ryan Baileys Dad was the coach and his brother was the main perpetrator. It happens now and again but like I said it used to happen all the time.

Just seen a couple of highlights on Twitter. Looks really quick. But proves nothing like you say.

Oh come on. Don't be so high and mighty. He got provoked then lost his head in the heat of battle.
Sounds a bit rich when we've got a player convicted of serious domestic violence on the teams books.....
Guess everyone deserves a second chance.
