I think you must be marty. if leeds had to keep his wages on the cap just in case, whats the point in letting him go?

I've had a look on the SL website and found this5.8 Loans and Dual Registration
(a) The temporary transfer of a Player by way of a loan shall be treated as a
permanent transfer. Accordingly'"

If your theory is right that is v poor by GH.

Hardaker has a contract until 2019, if Leeds are keeping his salary to one side to cover that type of scenario they are say £100k behind the competition for every year it happens, At at a time when they need to get in as much quality as possible. If that is correct it adds up to pretty woeful man management. Either get Hardaker playing for Leeds or get rid.

I hope and expect the deal is Cas carry the risk in 2017, so if your scenario happened, Powell would have to kiss and make up or wear the cost for a season and send Zak back for Boxing Day

You with yer sense and yer reason. Go on. P|ss off.

Don't be stupid. There was never any kind of transition plan in place at all.
I have it on good authority that the 2 idiots GH and Mac were waiting on Sir Kev & JP to come up with a plan, but unfortunately both players bug***ed off before telling anyone what to do.

We're now looking at 20+ years of mediocrity. What a nightmare.

What is the plan?

Ferris wasn't planned and neither was Segeyaro both were just a fortune of circumstance. So what was the plan for 2016 because whatever it was it didn't work so who is responsible for that? I doubt it was Peacock and Sinfield!!

Perhaps GH would have done well not to fall out with his captain and then only Peacock would have retired in 2015 but the CEO has a plan.

Sorry Sal can you bring me up to speed on the GH Sinfield fall out? I must have missed that.

They fell out so badly that Sinfield was allowed to finish his Rhinos career a year early at its absolute zenith & move to the sister club Yorkshire Carnegie to have a 12 month crack at RU.
But I'm sure SP & WE can twist that with yet more negative spin.

Don't expect a reply on that, at least not a truthful one anyway and definitely not one that's backed up with any evidence.
Now you've called him out on his bull, you'll be subjected to days, weeks or maybe months on end of abuse from him and his girlfriends.

Good luck!

My understanding is as follows:

Sinfield was discussing his future with GH and suggested his future was more in sports admin than in coaching and his ideal job would be CEO of Leeds Rhinos. GH took umbridge and the two fell out.

Soon after Sinfield was at a press conference saying how much he wanted to play RU!!

Since his retirement has he been seen at Leeds - no - very strange for a club that prides itself on looking after players who have been loyal to the club - read into that what you will. You would have thought he would be an ideal person to support the side during the dark days of 2016?

It was announced he was off well before 2015 unfolded as it did so he could easily have finished as 2014 did. If you think GH was happy about it ask why him and McGeechan haven't spoken since?

Didn't Sinfield quit the sister Union club early too?

He originally signed an 18 month contract with them.

Said he wanted to quit early in order to get a proper job

I'll let you decide whether my response is factual or negative spin
