Unless things have changed it was reported that no cap dispensation would be given, which allegedly rules Leeds out.

Leeds are very good at finding ways and means, they will find wriggle room and it starts with the fact that part of Watkins salary would be off cap due to being club trained

I don’t think we’ll be fully up to the cap, I reckon there will be s way to get him in

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him back at Leeds, just wouldn't want us to get ourselves in a position where we have next to no cap space for 26, especially when you bear in mind that Kal will be 34 later this year. I could just see Wire ( with their elastic cap) fitting him in. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Did Watkins leave on good terms. I know it wasn’t bad terms but was he pushed out a bit at the time?

Salford will be needing replacements for the likes of sneeeyd. Is there a case for sinfield helping out for a season?

I think he'd be better going to a competitive championship club, rather than a SL club shorn of its best players, that could get battered each week. Although he might get good defensive experience!!!

I remember we got good service from Oledzki and Hallas our meltdown in 2017. It's not the greatest environment for young impressionable players though. I agree that they'd be better at a competitive championship club that has systems in place. I'd suggest York as somewhere ideal for Sinfield.

Castleford Tigers, Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC, Leigh Leopards, Wakefield Trinity and Warrington Wolves are all thought to have cap space, but the rest are thought to have no room to budge.
As reported on Leeds Live.

Fair point though the championship approach has hardly been an unmitigated success either.

With regards to Salford's current financial predicament and the fact that Paul Rowley has already announced that 2025 will be his final season as head coach at the club before he then takes up the role of "Director of Rugby" from 2026

As this is a rumours thread, Could I ask if anyone else thinks that Rowley will take over the head coaching role at Leeds once Brad Arthur leaves? (potentially/probably at the end of the 2025 season)
Seems nailed on to me

Probably be announced sooner than we think.
