I would have liked Ikahifo to have joined us but if he is staying at the Giants then hey ho




Surely not Marty Taupau?
Now that would be a sensational signing if we could get him

That goes without saying.
The rest is still very valid if we're looking to compete at the right end of the table.

Looks like Seb's staying because Leeds won't fork out the cash needed to buy out his contract. He has 3 years let on his contract and is one of Hudds' biggest earners.

Furner has talked of wanting leaders, I could see us wanting a grizzled NRL prop who is a tough nut. Everything being done at moment seems geared towards giving us a harder edge in addition to quality.
Looking forward to next year, not sure we will have
Enough to compete with saints and others at top
End but think it will be exciting and we will play much better stuff on attack.
All credit to the club for being bold, think Merrin is will turn out to be a great signing

It would be, although if/when he leaves Manly he'll be looking at $800-900k+ a year for his next contract. Not sure Leeds will pay that!

So at least about £450k a season! He'll not be at Leeds then.

Wigan

Well, Lenagan is supposed to have notions of growing the game. That would certainly add a few to the ~8k that currently shoehorn themselves into the Dave Whelan.

I still think amor would be a solid signing in place of mullalley /walters

Yeah, shame Wigan was a city 3 times as big then we could shoehorn another 3k into the stadium

Yes me too.

I doubt it too, unless they've got a marquee spot available (although someone still has to pay the salary). Josh McGuire just moved to the Cowboys for $3.2m over 4 years so shows what a International forward earns over there, plus he'll have Aus/Origin payments to top that up at $30k a pop
