It's fake news, apparently

Hull have signed Leon Ruan off you until the end of the year, what are your thoughts on him?

Raw but has size and youth on his side.

Leon Ruan has joined Hull FC on loan folr the rest of the season Leeds can recall him back at anytime, I'm disappointed with this one he's shown some good glimpses when he's played this season and we're already short in forwards, he's not an out and out middle but he's a big body who can do a stint there, been a poor week from the club with transfer news.

Odd one imo, I'd send Donaldson before Ruan. He offers something different.

At least he will get game time

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Wed Jul 31, 2024 4:26 pm  

Rusn hasn’t let us down when he’s played so seems odd given current injuries.

As for knight I always thought he was ok at the bunnies but granted that was a pack that was generally always on the front foot

Warrington have signed Yates and Bateman for the end of season run in.

We have lost Martin (for next season), Eseh and Ruan along with Holroyd until the end of the season. Shows the two teams ambitions.

or who has the most creative accountants

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Wed Jul 31, 2024 6:37 pm  

Another season written off it would seem. Interim coach and no mid season signings - I think it’s time we accepted mediocrity.
Every move the club makes at the moment is just to appease fans - are they actually wanting to improve or just fire fighting to keep taking our hard earned money on a weekly basis!!

Warrington in a completely different place to Leeds and good luck to them. Plenty of people rubbished the Sam Burgess appointment and while inspirational leaders on the pitch don't always make good coaches they took a chance and it looks to be paying off. They have a coach in place for next 2 seasons and a chance of silverware this year. In terms of Leeds we have minimal cap space and no available quota spots and a coach at the moment till the end of the year. Let's give Blease the benefit of the doubt at the moment and see what he comes up with. We essentially have the money for 2 players and if he can twist Garys arm one needs to be the second marquee.No point diving in to try and rescue a season that is probably gone better that we get to the best place we can be for next year

Warrington released Kasiano, Dudson, Dywer, and the other Aussie prop (I forget his name), that's why they have the space. I think we should have room for three, given that we have also parted with Olpherts & Myler. Depending on how ruthless the post mortem at the end of the year we might choose to pay off a couple of contracts, which is a costly business to the club but doesn’t count in terms of the cap. It never seems to discourage Wire.
