Big, slow, lazy, useless...... he'd fit in well.

| Wonder if we'd be interested in Charly Runciman Been released from Widnes also and is only 25 he may be useful at left centre.

| Signing players from Widnes? Perhaps the only team worse than us in the League this year.
Remind me why that would be an improvement??

| Jeez i would hope we would be looking for a bit more quality than Ah Van and Runciman. Goodness me.
Would much rather see young Newman be given a go than either of those 2.

Back in the old days, often young centres or even halves would be given a season or so to blend in learn their trade on the wing. This was no bad thing and sometimes looking back at things, sometimes is a good idea. Definitely think Newman would benefit having some game time on the wing, Learning to play centre at open age level alongside a class centre.

| I'd have rather kept Keinhorst than sign Runciman if I was the Rhinos powers that be.

| We certainly should have kept Keinhorst, but it’s too late for that now.

I agree with that last sentence whole heartedly

Neither should be running around super league. Should be nowhere near Leeds.

Agreed on not wanting either at Leeds, glad we didnt resign Keinhorst and would be gutted if we signed Runciman

I really really disagree with this. His qualities and strengths are very much more suitable for playing centre than wing and he won't improve if he's stuck out on the flank. I'm a Fev fan so obviously I'd be happy to see him play for us next season, but either way he needs to be playing centre - if he's ready for SL then play him in his natural position for Leeds.
Yesterday at Fev was a good example of how he needs more development time at centre, he was playing outside Ridyard on the left hand side and ran the wrong angle on at least one occasion in the first half, the coaching staff had a word with him in the second half and he ran riot, scoring two and creating one; one of his tries came when he ran a superb angle off a bullet pass from Ridyard, he will learn much more playing outside Ridyard next season than being shunted on to the wing.
We've seen lots of Luke Briscoe and Newman at Fev this season and whilst I know plenty of Leeds fans don't rate Luke he's a miles better wing than Newman would be - he's faster, a stronger finisher in the corner, and can do the hard yardage from dummy half. Newman, on the other hand, is already a better centre than Briscoe, if that makes sense, his balance and ability to spot a gap are high quality. He just needs more experience, especially in defence, at his specialist position.

| Agree with the poster above, unless we are struggling for wingers due to injuries Newman shouldn’t play wing. When he plays 1st team next season it should be in the centre.

Not running around in SL, Your lack of game / RL intelligence is astounding for someone that seems to be heavily involved, even from your armchair.... salary capped sport, means you need to build value in depth of your squad or you will end up in the bottom 4 after a handful of injuries.
Keinhorst was and will be a solid SL player, I think he will go well at KR, week in week out, able to build partnership with his wingers, something that he worked well with Hall on many occasions.
Runciman I would say is not as good as Keinhorst, but he could add depth at a decent price if and when needed, this is not fantasty RL, it is actually putting together squad of 25 under the cap that includes some star players, but mostly a solid team that are committed, fit, healthy and play to a team structure. Team play and structure as well as getting the best out of depth players has to be the focus.
Newman, would bring him in for a few games for sure, at , looks raw but has some speed and commitment.
