Leeds are 3rd choice. The way I see it he wanted a move to the NRL which never quite worked out by which time hull had made other arrangements so he had to look for another club. Leeds were the highest other bidder.

Either way, a quality player.

Always been a big fan of Tom Briscoe's rugby so very much a welcome addition for the 2014 squad and beyond. Will be a Headingley favourite I'm sure.

Will be interesting to see if this signals the rumoured Jones-Bishop departure as presumably he'll be the one ear-marked to give up his shirt initially and although he'd make an ideal first reserve able to cover any position from 1 to 5 he's surely too good a player to simply sit around waiting for an injury in order to get a game.

Hopefully the signing will be the first of a few - especially if they are in the areas of greatest need.

Thats the rumour, hull offered him a good deal, but he wanted to go to the NRL, by the time the NRL had fell through, Hull (god knows how) had spent his salary allocation.

Fantastic signing for Leeds, just what he needed, although was hoping he would have a good at the NRL. watched your game last week and BJB got dominated and pushed back in the tackle, this wont happen with Briscoe. Outside a good centre, he could be top tryscorer next season in SL.

Really hardworking player and good off the field, been very loyal to Hull, through some bad times, so i wish him all the best at Leeds.

Where does it state 3rd choice?

Said he decided to leave Hull and seek out new challenges. Had an offer from Cronulla that he was going to accept, but then Leeds came in with an offer after Hull gave him permission to speak to other clubs. He was then undecided so took the option of thinking it over for longer, then signed for Leeds.

No mention anywhere of a change of heart on Hull, or that the offer from the NRL was pulled back.

GH by plenty!

Buderus played for nothing when he was at Leeds and even paid for his own airfares.

Allegedly.

Why GH by anything ?

The story is from James Smailes a reporter who covers Hull.

Who knows if it is true or false.

Same here. High quality player, great to see him in a Leeds shirt.

As if it's going to state 3rd choice in the press.

Think about it. Hull would obviously keep him if they could. Briscoe would join the NRL if a deal was nailed down ready to sign, think of the money and lifestyle. Let's say for a second leeds are first choice and outbid an NRL club, you have to question the decision to spend so much on what is a luxury signing and not one of necessity. The NRL deal didn't work, hull's hand was forced into making other arrangements, briscoe then needs to find another club, leeds are the best other bidder. If hull had been able to match or better leeds offer he'd be staying put there.

Some hull fans who are in the know have called this thing correct every step of the way and this is their version of the situation as well.

A bit of a luxury signing IMO, unless something else in the pipeline. With the exodus of players to the NRL, and a world cup coming up, the likes of Watkins and Hall could well be noticed and tempted away. Worst case scenario we have 6 players for 5 spots, and have cover for injury

Pretty obvious Tom manage to screw this negotiaton up, although in the press it will be the usual fluff stories about been delighted etc.

Putting that aside, good signing for Leeds and apparently a bargain. Decent player who occasionally has splurges of explosive rugby that is fantastic to watch.

So there is nothing of any sane reason to suggest Leeds were his 3rd choice?

He told Hull end of last season he would be leaving at the end of his contract. That was when it started that Leeds wanted him.

He was offered a contract by Cronulla, and at the point of agreeing to it, he was allowed to speak to others and Leeds made an offer. That has been confirmed by Leeds and the player.

He took the option of thinking it over and speaking to people. Confirmed by the player.

He decided to take the Leeds offer and decline the Cronulla offer. Confirmed by hte player and the club.

Never did he go back asking Hull to come back with an offer, the contract offer from Cronulla was not withdrawn.

So the facts are that nowhere was he left with no choice but Leeds.

Given Leeds salary structure, as a full England international presumably he'll be on a bit more than Jones-Bishop?

So that's an extra bit of salary cap that could have gone on areas of much greater need, spent on an upgrade at winger.

What happened contract wise with Duckworth? Looked tidy the few times I've seen him play, and is too old for the U19s next season IIRC. Hopefully he's not being released and can be found somewhere on loan/dual-reg next year.
