Quote Loiner at large="Loiner at large"We are not going to get a big name nrl prop but hopefully will secure a good calibre of player with similar physical attributes as Ava. Personally I think we should also take a punt on Harrison. He would be minimal cost At 6 ft 4 inches has the right natural size and a year full time would potentially see him add a stone in weight. Walmsley was a similar age and level of experience when he moved to saints. The lad seems to have a good attitude and may develop into a quality forward. This should be to supplement another prop coming in not instead of it. You can't have too many big forwards ots not a coincidence that saints are the best team when you look at their pack.'"
I think as others have mentioned the comment about "minimal cost" is probably incorrect. He's under contract to Fev until the end of next season, and when Cas were reportedly interested in Harrison Davide Longo's response was :
[i
"We have no interest in selling James unless they are willing to pay silly money and then we would have to reconsider.
“But we’ve made our stance crystal clear to his agent and James will be a part of our squad next season.”[/i
Remember, Fev are hell bent on trying to get promotion this year with no Toronto and no Leigh to contend with. It would make little sense to let Harrison go unless the transfer fee was enough to sign someone who was better - and equally it wouldn't make sense for Leeds to spend big money on someone who would initially at least be a fringe player.
