| He should be available for the Saints game but not sure when the cut-off date for new signings being able to play in the CC, but I had it in my head that is was a couple of weeks before the quarters.
I'm guessing that he was due to come over for the end of this season/post Christmas but with him not getting a regular first team slot and perhaps Bennett wanting to off-load him GH has brought him over now. Couldn't have been better timing IMO.

He is a very good player in the Qld cup, but the big guy just can't have the same impact in the NRL because you can't run around at that pace if you are 130kg.
He was a Newcastle Knights junior, and Craig Bellamy actually played with his father in the Newcastle Rugby League.
Bellamy brought him from Newcastle Wests and got him fit enough for NRL - got him down to 120kg I believe.
He had some decent games for Melbourne, but not many. He mostly played for their feeder team in the Qld cup, where he was a legend with his big runs.
Bennett bought him because of his great form in the Qld cup, but has obviously decided he will never be able to play as well at the pace of the NRL.
Garbo says the ESL will suit his style of play, and I think that is right. He will have a lot of impact as long as he isn't run around so much he is gassed all the time, like he was in the NRL.
This is a clip from the Storm website titled Mitch Garbutt best kick return ever. It's from when he led the storm feeder club to a title in the Qld cup. Junior Sau scores the try.

He looks a unit. With the reduction in interchanges can see him and Mullally coming on for 25 minutes either side of half-time but we still need 3 long minute middle forwards. Cuthbertson and Singleton can be two of those, but could do with one more. That's if BMac uses his bench conventionally...

| Seems an ideal replacement for Kylie.
Hopefully, Singleton can put on some timber before next season, then we would have at least 4 props who compliment each other well.

I assume you're joking about Leeds signing Widdop?

You'll see when he's smashing it in Super League.

This must be a wind up....or I can console myself at long last with not being the most pessimistic Rhinos supporter.
As far as I'm concerned this has gone a long way to restoring my faith in the Leeds management: it could not have come at a better time in an area most at need and by all accounts a pretty decent acquisition too (away from the DM's club here of course)
Isn't it funny that despite all the speculation about who Leeds will sign the ones the club do actually sign still manage to come in under the radar?? (Nobody predicted the what has become a brilliant signing in Cuthberston either did they??)

I assume your source is reliable, do you know the length of contract etc?

To be fair, even Ryan Bailey managed one devastating kick-off return in his career

| A bit of grunt is what we need up front especially now JP and his long minutes are going. At 120 kilos this guy should give us a bit of that.
As others have said, hopefully there is one more in the pipeline for next year
