Up there with the worst overseas signings in terms of pure under performance. Don’t think it was lack of effort just one of those signings that just didn’t work out, never found good form
" Leeds Rhinos signing ‘will score 50 tries’ and ‘win Man of Steel’ claim Australian pundits
Speaking on The Run Home with Joel & Fletch, the pair touted the Fijian international to be a huge success in Super League, with Caine going as far as to say he ‘could score 50’ tries in a season!
“If Maika Sivo goes to the Rhinos, and if he’s fit and plays the whole season he could score 50,” said Caine"

Didn't work out. Can't blame that one on Leeds or Smith - Macdonald left the club with no chance but give him the boot, and pickings were very slim for replacements. If Macdonald hadn't done that he'd still be with us.
Ten players out and 4 in - five with Sivo - and yet the squad somehow feels stronger? Speaks volumes that of the players leaving only Martin is a big loss, and Ruan maybe for potential. While I wish the rest all the best, I don't think any of them will be missed.
We are taking a punt on Gannon and Holroyd being fit, but it looks like Arthur is focusing on having a really strong first choice team, a few versatile players to cover gaps, and then rely on youth. The squad has very little fat in it now - maybe literally if the off season is as brutal as suspected. Maybe that's why it somehow feels more competitive?
