I know that. And he may well spend a lot of time at fetherstone, however, from what I’ve heard he certainly hasn’t been brought in just to make up numbers. And by the end of the season it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw a lot more of him.

Im reading more rumours of players being moved on once Furner arrives .Parcell and Golding are names being mentioned

I think the outs will consist of Parcell, Garbutt, Golding, Walters, Ormondroyd, Mullally. I’m hoping that we are bringing a few in as were linked with Taupau, Young (Newcastle FB), Briscoe (permanent), O’Loughlin, Cunningham (London HK), Fensom.

Shame about Garbutt and Parcell, good players. I'm guessing only being moved on to free up some overseas spots.

The issue the club will have is these players are contracted and therefore don't have to go anywhere.

Golding was saying only last week that he is looking forward to pre-season with Leeds. Club can tell him he's free to find another club but if he doesn't want to there is nothing club can do and he can just sit on his contract until it expires. In Goldings case that's about 3 years still isn't it?

I thought 2? As for Parcell and Garbutt, it may be that it's them that want out, not vice versa. And while the club could insist on them seeing out their contracts they maybe have no wish to retain uncommitted players and simply want them off the pay roll asap.

hope that turns out that way, if it does then he will be a good signing. and not another Cory Aston signing.

I'd be very disappointed if Garbutt does want out given his injury ravished year last year. Just the way it is I suppose. Have to say, though, Parcell, Garbutt and Watkins are probably the three names from the remainder of 2018 squad I would most like to retain.

i honestly cannot see the Golding rumor being true, think its just wishful thinking from the section of supporters who used him as a scape goat last year and the Walker fan boys. if it is true and the player is not wanted, then yes in theory he could just sit out 3 years of his contract and not play and just take the money. But i doubt a player would be happy with that, unless absolutely nobody wanted him, doubt Golding will be on mega bucks so should be able to find another club easy enough. If he did decide to sit on his 3 year contract, doubt any club would want him after being sat on the sidelines for 3 years, his career certainly at super league and upper championship clubs would be over. So if he was not wanted it would be better for his career to move and and play somewhere else and salvage his career.

Reading between the lines of this, his agent was on proper sport through last week and said ‘one of his players called him absolutely devastated that a club have told him he can leave and he’s still got 2/3 years left on his deal’ I guessed straight away that the was Golding.
Also, I’m told he has found him another deal already with a top club

I can’t fathom the reasoning behind getting rid of Golding if the rumours are true , was way down the list of players needing moving on IMO

Who's he signed for ?

Way down the list of needing moving on. But at the same time, way down the list in needing keeping also, and that is saying something with how poor the squad was.

Would be surprised if true, but at the same time, not really bothered if happens, much better players for the role.

The type of tough decision that everyone's been crying out for, I guess. Under the circs, some ruthlessness was inevitable if the overhaul was to be far-reaching enough..

I don't know our academy well enough to know if we have anyone to take the step up from there but Sinfield has talked a lot about competition for places and how he wants to have players driving each other on. Golding does just that for Walker and Briscoe brothers. Of course, that's assuming we aren't getting another winger in.
