Maybe a move to Wakey for Golding as cover for Johnstone? Not sure he'd want to be stuck out on the wing but the offer of more chance of game time might be one he can't turn down.

I believe Goldings on a very decent contract and that is itself the problem. No other club is willing to offer him anything close to it and he's playing hardball with Leeds, willing to play out the remainder of the contract at Fev or wherever. You cant blame the lad.

Not at all. If he really doesn't figure then it might be worth the club subsidising his contract elsewhere, but a couple of injuries and he could be back in the side this year.

2 year deal done.

Presumably you refer to Albert at Leeds, not Golding to Bulls?

Yeah Wellington Albert.

£65K a year to play Championship RL isn't a bad deal for another 3 years. But where will he go then?

It makes no difference he has a young family and if you say he is on £65k contract then why would he move. While at Leeds on this contract he is playing at FEV and also getting his coaching badges. He is also coaching Stanningley ARLC. Overall if he is earning £65kpa its not bad, he playing rugby, he's learning and why would he or anyone walk out on this sort of contract. Good for the lad. We are the biggest mug club in SL. We never learn no wonder we are where we are.

I don't blame him one bit. I'd sit out my 65K contract and play Dual Reg. Pity the current Leeds management team don't rate him.

I think we've seen as much as Albert will bring to the party last night. Why waste an overseas spot on a championship reject?

I don't disagree that we need bulk in the front row, but why get rid of Mullally (not that I was a fan of his), to bring someone arguably worse...

Albert doesn’t take up a quota spot as he was released under administration at Widnes. He would if we were to resign him after his current contract ends.

I don’t understand why he’s here either.

Because we're short on fit forwards, and he's the best available *at this moment in time*.

That doesn't justify us giving him a 2-year deal though... Can't wait for the response on here when that gets announced!

I think when he goes for a run he's already decided he's offloading no matter the circumstances. Going to be incredibly risky but I suppose at least it's something new.

2 YEAR contract for that bloke

Mind you it fits in with the signings of

Crosby
La La
Donaldson
Luke Briscoe
