According to their board, and a rhinos fan who has posted on my Transfer news thread on VT, they are signing Broughton, Worrall and Gibson from us.

First I heard about Worrall and Broughton and thought that Leeds could have kept hold of Broughton so he could take number 2 from Donald in time to come.

Worrall last I heard was Union bound, but looks to have took a turn back to League.

Looking at what they have they will have a great bunch of young english talent next season if these two deals go through.

Are they under contract at Leeds? If so, could that mean you have an offer in for Ratchford>?

Worral and Gibson are not under contract. Not sure about Broughton.

Nope, all OOC at the end of the season FWIR.

Fishing, or heard something?

Ratchford would be a good signing but I doubt there's any truth in it tbh.

Why would he?

Good luck to them and Salford, we can't keep hold of every promising youngster who comes through our academy system.
I'd rather see them going there than the Reds signing second rate and/or over the hill Aussies etc and such lads drifting out of the game.
If they make it great, it can only benefit the comp & potentially the home nations.

It would be a good move for Wozzer.

Even if he is offered a new contract, it wont be improved + his impact and chances have been limited.

Unless he feels he cant realistically can break into the 17, he should move on. Like Gibson has done.

How will playing half a dozen games a year improve his game?

If he stays he's treading water and Leeds don't really need him (JJB, Ablett, Kirke, Eastwood, Manning). Then consider newer younger signings - Pitt/Coady/Ambler/Armor. I know they aren't like for like in his position, but highlights the fact that when squad players come in, some have to ship out.

We have a player leaving called Lee Smith who's proved a very good utility and who some on here didn't rate. He's proved them wrong IMO.

Ratchford is also a very promising utility winning players player of the year this season.

On the right money he'd be an excellent acquisition.

Do you think he wouldn't be a good signing?

No. Not when we've got Watkins, Ratu, Ben Jones Bishop all of whom we need to keep in the fold for the time being.

What's the relevance of that? Haven't we replaced our right centre next year with one front line player and one promising young player?

Mainly a half back who started on the wing though isn't he? What "utility value would he offer?

Come back to reality. He's a half back who has just been named in the England squad. The departure of Myler means he will secure a decent deal from the Reds. He wouldn't come cheap and he wouldn't come to play second fiddle to Burrow and McGuire. Are you suggesting we get rid of either of them?

No. He'd simply be 2nd choice in the positions he plays taking up a large chunk of salary cap. It would be better for the game and his personal development if he stayed where he is or went somewhere where he would be first choice half back.'"

Ratu is leaving isnt he?



He's played centre, stand off and wing this year and he would be a good signing for Leeds on the right money. That's not considering whats best for him or the game. Its pointless discussing it anyway because it just wouldnt happen largely because as you say it's not best for him or the game, he'd probably want too much money and also because they've already lost Myler and Turner.

Is Ratu leaving a pity if he is

Ratu is HKR bound
