43 trys and SET UP 37 not bad for a lad who isnt an half back???

Clubs don't even have to do that.

All they have to do is sit and wait for the player's agent to come to them with a hypothetical deal should their client become available.

No contact between player and club. No tapping up that breaches the RFL rules. Just an agent out to get the best deal for his client.

Whether that's ethical from the agent's standpoint is another matter.

Well if they haven't had permission surely Hall would say please come back when you've had permission from Leeds

Of course he would.....not.

I only mentioned it because this sort of thing happens all the time. I understand the Leigh owner's frustration, but the reality is there are all kinds of ways and means around the "rules". If a club is interested in a player it will probably sound them out informally before bothering to contact their current club.

Now Mossop has gone, this deal may start up !

Cannot see how the mossop deal would have any bearing if we tried to sign breirley? Even if we did sign him (which seems like a very long shot at the moment) could see it involving a loan back to Leigh for the season.
