This isn’t strictly true. Holding his registration simply means he cannot enter any RFL sanctioned competition. The NRL isn’t an RFL sanctioned competition so their administrators could simply wave him through. The RFL make a big show of working collaboratively in these incidents when it’s an Australian player coming to the UK by maintaining their rulings, but the NRL would do whatever suits them best at the time. Since there is no governing body which both the RFL and NRL submit to there is no way to universally ban him.

It would absolutely be a breach of contract if he did that, but it would be on Leeds to pursue that through the courts.

Peter Smith now reporting Momirovski is off home to take up a coaching gig with the Chooks.

That to me means Conner and Sivo will n and that would be us done IMO

I guess that would be a good recruitment cycle, but I would still have liked a big bodied 2nd row to give us a big pack. I think collectively our current backrows are too small, but note either of yesterdays recruits can fill in at 2nd row too. A large out and out 2nd row would have complimented McDonnell / Gannon and Bentley.

I have concerns with Gannon because how is he going to avoid head collisions next year? Is he ruled out for the rest of the year as soon as he takes a bang to the head? I would love him to succeed but not sure how this will be possible.

If Sivo comes in as well, would there be much need for another prop/2nd row? Assuming the starting wingers are Handley and then Hall/Sivo rotation, you've got some big metres coming out of back play, hopefully taking the workload off the props (which are already looking a lot better). I wouldn't be complaining if they went and got another forward, mind.

Unless were looking at some UK based players?
