Smith scored tries in Rhinos' 2007 and 2008 Grand Final wins over St Helens and won the Harry Sunderland man-of-the-match award last year. Leuluai, cousin of Wigan half-back/hooker Thomas Leuluai, scored the opening try in Rhinos' 34-10 win over Warriors three days ago and is another back-to-back Grand Final winner. Hetherington declined to comment on whether Leeds have opened talks with either man, saying only: "When players come out of contract, they are free to do what they want."

He is a player i rate, but i do think there would be better options out there who will be available if they are to be using a quota spot. Assuming of course non of these players have any court rulings against there names.

Brisbane Broncos withdraw contract offer to Karmichael Hunt BRISBANE still remain hopeful of retaining star fullback Karmichael Hunt despite playing hard-ball by withdrawing their contract offer late today. The Broncos stuck by their round one deadline for the offer, believed to more than $1 million over three years, when Hunt failed to respond at the weekend. Chief executive Bruno Cullen insisted the Broncos were comfortable with the offer tabled early this year but were unable to continue waiting for Hunt to pursue other options, including a lucrative rugby contract in Japan. Talks have stalled and the club delivered the strong message they wouldn't be drawn into a bidding war for the 22-year-old. "The time frames were not suitable to either the Brisbane Broncos or Karmichael's management and, as a club, we have had to withdraw the offer and move on," Cullen said in a club statement. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html

Absolutely spot on. Half the reason for our downfall recently is the turnover in players, especially at 6 & 7. Then you go and say you would like to have Dobbo??? Dobson is good, but we've already got Tommy and he's got 2 years experience at Wigan already, he's still young, still learning, getting better all the time & and could form a half back partnership with Sam T for the next 8 years.

I selected Dobbo cause he does the stuff Tommy can't like Drop goals, 40/20's and pressure kicks. He's the perfect example of a good scrum half that dictates play and guides his team around the pitch. No disrespect to Tommy but he doesn’t seem able to do this for us or NZ.

Tommy is a very good player but with his excellent step, good broken field running, good distribution and alright short kicking game he was made to play nine as we saw in the WC. Will he be happy to play nine tho for us?

I'd have him without doubt, although im fairly sure leeds will not let him go.

: Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:53 pm  

Dobson would be my target. 1st choice.

Get him and Sam at 6 and 7 for many years to come. Lets have some stability in the halves.
