Tapau is 34 and has hardly been used in a season thats turned to garbage for the broncos. He may be better than some of our props but thats an awfully low bar and we need much much better from overseas signings.

One thing about Tapau, he would put his Heart and Soul into it.

There’s something fishy about that last post Tot.

Sounds logical

Josh rourke looks class for London, really hope we are looking at him and he does End up at one of our main rivals for 2025 ( which currently is half the table)

Yes he does look good and there`s a very experienced centre at Leigh who can kick goals that would be ok for a year or two.

Wakefield bound.

We don’t need another full back.

Not another clamouring for Hardaker back.

He’s signed for Hull FC, which is probably his level now.

And he`s still better than the 2 centres we have even at his age imo.

I wouldn’t be interested in Hardaker now, his time has gone. I get that people are not happy with our Centres, neither have covered themselves in glory this year, and in Newman’s case he’s not lived up to his promise so far. He’s coming into his last year of contract (I think) and if he doesn’t have a big 2025, I can see Leeds letting him go and bringing one of the kids through. We’ve got some very good talent coming through in the Centre and they will need to have a go sometime.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think Newman is heading in the right direction. He's on track to play over 20 games this year, without serious injury, and whilst he's not doing anything flash at present he's carrying the ball really well. Like the rest of the three quarters he'd look a lot better behind a competitive pack, which I hope will be rectified next year. I think he'll suprise a few in 2025.

I've been critical of Newman but there have been signs under Arthur (esp. last two games) that he's getting his performances right again.

I guess my beef with him is that as one of our feted superstars he's not injecting himself into games in a positive way as much as we know he has been capable of in the past (remember the game when he monstered French and Field, and was getting accused of being greedy with scoring?). Right now he's being outshone by the likes of Miller and Croft, and (?slower) Momirovski looks like being the more capable finisher/creator out wide.

I'm hoping he'll become a less flashy but more effective player under Arthur's coaching. Arthur has told Miller he wastes energy, and the same could be said of previous incarnations of Harry. If he focuses on doing the simple things well and not trying to beat six players every time he touches the ball he could yet be a huge asset to us.

I agree.
Even in the short amount of time Arthur has had, you can see his impact on certain players.
Particularly Miller, Newman and Bentley.
They all look better for it.

I'm not convinced by Newman long-term. He's not really quick, he isn't powerful or explosive in contact, and he doesn't create space for his winger. Other than a left foot step back on the inside, there's nothing much to his game.
