How recent is this Talanoa rumour compared with last weeks speculation on Joel Moon?

Well I'd only heard it yesterday from someone who works at the club, but they freely admit it is only a rumour. As for whether it pre-dates the Joel Moon enquiries I really don't know. But apparently Talanoa has been seen in Leeds too.
Could be complete rubbish, but thought I'd pass it along anyway since its infinitely more probable than the Jamie Lyon rumour!

Well if Talanoa has been seen in Leeds it't a bit nearer than Moon who is on holiday in NSW having a great time down under! It makes you wonder if there was something in the homesickness stories.

Congrats on taking over Frosties's job being the player stalker.

Pfft. This guy's an amateur. While Joel Moon's on holiday in Australia, Frosties is in his bin looking for clues and in his underwear drawer looking for souvenirs.

| Haven't done a lot of trawling (none in fact) - where does the rumour mill think Scott Taylor's going? FC?

I'm convinced he's our man. But don't know if that is just wishful thinking.

| You're convinced, but you're not sure.
Classic Gotcha.

It's stating the obvious that Talanoa is not a big name and he's hardly played these last 2 seasons. If there's any truth in the rumour GH must be finding recruitment difficult! He said only last week in the YEP that any signings would have to be of the quality to go straight into the first 17.

| I thought he'd said there would be no new signings - even if he didn't use those actual words that's what it sounded like to me.

I thought GH said they were only looking for quality players who would enhance the team and automatically would be in the 17 man squad (form permitting). If they coould not sign a player who met that criteria they would not sign anybody.

| Theres always a catch! Plenty of names being mentioned that would definitely walk into our 17. It's the cost of them which appears to be the stumbling block.

I think you're right. We don't seem to have a problem initially attracting the players but it probably is the finance, fitting into the Rhinos pay struture and also under the cap. That's probably why the quality of the players named in rumours has been reducing.
