I could be wrong, but isn’t he too young to be a free agent?

To be honest I wasn't aware there was a lower age limit. Surely if he has a full 1st team contract he would be the same as the rest of the team.

THe rumour I've heard is that 4 Leeds players are going to Warrington, two of which are Sinfield and Burrow, so they wouldn't need another half back

who are the other two just out of interest?

Well the Bosman ruling declared that any player 23 and over, and out of contract, could move freely between clubs. Whether there are different caveats to Super League contracts and RFL registrations, I don’t know.

As long as we offer him a contract he isn't a free agent. Thought it was untill 22 which is in line with the bosman.

I don't see how? I though the Bosman ruling created an EU Law.

Almost - it's as long as that contract is the same as, or better than, his current one, then a "young player" isn't classed as a free agent - hence Leeds paying us a fee for Ambler.

I cant see Turner going anywhere. I dont think that we can stop Myler leaving when his contract is up as long as they pay a set fee. Without the new stadium we will always struggle to keep players like him.
