Heard a few times that Oledski from Leeds has signed with us for 2026, no idea of his contract situation but it`s what I`ve heard from a few now.

I have also heard that too.

I would be able to get behind that.

Not reached the heights of a few years ago when he played for England and I’m not sure he’s at that level but he has years ahead of him and will be a solid signing if it’s true.

He should as a prop at 26/27 be coming into his best years and if the club have identified him then they must believe he can add to a team building for the top end of SL. That would be good enough for me, and sometimes moves after being at a club for some time can be the making of players.

Initially a no from me too, however, if we are looking for a domestic prop who is out of contract at the end of 2025 and who can step into the first team…I can’t see any other player id pick ahead of him

My source has stated that we offered him a very good deal but he has turned us down and wants to stay with Weeds

And therein lies Mikołaj‘s problem!
He’s happy in his comfort zone, content at Leeds to just be there!
I’ve known him since he was 12 when he was playing for Hunslet, he’s a great lad and someone you’d like as a friend.
When he was 13 going on 14 he was overlooked by Leeds and it was only when other clubs started nominating him for their Scholarships that Leeds came back for him and he was delighted to accept Leeds offer.
He’s been so haunted by almost missing out that he’s become overly grateful to be there, even at 26 years of age having played for England he suffers from imposter syndrome at Leeds and is still grateful. His lack of self belief, underpinned by that near miss is what’s held him back from reaching the potential he had a young prospect.

It’s a shame that he’s not moving from them because it’s what he really needs to do!

Would have been happy to give him a go but seems like we're not able to match his needs so fair enough.

Re: Rumours thread : Mon Dec 30, 2024 5:30 pm  

Sounds like his only "need" is to wear a Whino's shirt ??
