The problem for us now is that agents know we have a large amount of money available for contracts and clubs know we are desperate so will squeeze us for all they can

Clubs also know full well that the Giants need shut of his contract,So play hard ball and if you don't win then they keep paying his large salary that they don't wish to pay as they want new players in.
No transfer fee should be paid for Ikahihifo unless it is an undisclosed fee

Got Wire and their creative accountants written all over it.

Trade him for Mullaly, Handley and Walters.

I reckon that we will be all over him too especially since the Merrin deal fell through
A good replacement for Garbutt if the rumours are true about him leaving?
If not could we not go with both for 2019?

Hull KR website says definitely signing Mitch Garbutt, he will be a big loss but no good to us injured for over half the season. He looks too ' top heavy' to me,hence putting more pressure on his knees !

Scuttle away, It's not my ship

He only signed a 3 year deal earlier this year so unlikely they'll give him away plus they're not desperate to get rid but i don't think the new coach wants him that's all.

Talk to the Giants and make it clear that we won’t be paying any fee. Talk to the players agent and make sure he knows what kind of deal would be on the table. Then it’s up to the player to decide if he wants to come or not.

Their creative accountants are in the process of paying another contracted player off (Brown) to fit a new player in (Drinkwater). They’ve a habit of this type of creativity

Mentioned this on the Huddersfield board but I believe he’s in talks with Leeds.

Elsewhere Leeds will announce another signing next week and I reckon this will be it.

Another signing, as well as Seb?

I mean I reckon Leeds will get Seb this week.
