Every player is available if you throw enough money at him and his club. It's just whether we want to do that.

We do need reinforcements but we don't need to make any desperation moves.

Tupou is the finished article , offers miles more than Newman at this stage, and allows us to have options. Greenwood has bags of potential

How much would Boyd want to leave his lucrative contract at GC? If anyone thinks he would sign for Leeds when he’s on the money he’s apparently on now is living in cloud cuckoo land.Leeds would have to pay him at least £400k a year for him to even think about leaving GC probably even upwards of £500k

On-form Boyd probably isn't far off Australian Test standard is he? That makes him the right kind of calibre to take Leeds forward. If we could add him for heavy guns in the pack, and then some speed and ability in the backline, we suddenly look a prospect again.

I don't know much about him but he has played for Australia 5 times in 2016

I don't mind having that type of forward that can't do big minutes but can make yards and do a bit of bulldozing. We already have some big minute props in the squad. Not much on youtube of him but do remember him playing in some NRL games and thinking that he is a bit of a beast.

The issue being he wants to stay at GC (can’t blame him on with his big salary) and Holbrook already stated he wants him to stay

Again fella, I don't disagree with either of your points.

Bill would give us more right now but I believe Newman will be better and play for us longer though naturally there are a lot of maybes and risks in that.

Greenwood has potential but no more so than Marti, ward and mellor so while I don't disagree he would be a useful addition I don't believe he would make us materially better.

Boyd keeps cropping up and a player like that would have offer something the pack is lacking currently. We do need a centre but probably more a utility back than bonafide centre.

If Boyd's not keen on coming then we move to another target who is. Should have learnt our lesson on this.

Agar saying he's already spoken to an NRL player when he was down under just waiting for Martins PNG passport to be confirmed. The interview is on west yorkshire daily.

Let's hope it's a quality big hitter

Anyone know who Boyd's agent is? It would appear Agar speaks to him regularly....
