Oh deffo.
Donaldson did his job well and even worked hard at prop ( where he never should have been ) without complaint.

Just timing of contract and our need for bigger bodies

With the new rules on overseas players now exempt is it worth bringing Parcell back to the club especially as he wont count on the overseas quota?
Interesting that French will also be exempt for Wigan and Tanginoa and of course Martin at HKR meaning they can sign another 2 overseas players.
We don`t have anyone exempt.

parcells gone to wakey hasn't he?

Yes, it's wrapped up.

Exempt in 2026. Not next year.

Ah sorry AC thought it was next year.

Peter Smith links us with a move for Reagan Campbell Gillard in the YEP article on the Arthur extension.

RCG, Sivo and Matterson have all been told they can leave.

I would sign all three.

Reagan Campbell-Gillard Is exactly the type of player we need, salary might be the sticking point though

Matterson would rip it up in SL.

He also seems to be wanted by a number of NRL teams. He'd clearly have to be a Croft style marquee signing on a extended contract. Contract length might be our edge on NRL clubs. You'd have to think the odds are against Leeds, but faint heart never won world class prop.

He's not world class but he is a decent prop. He's just turned 31 so the longest deal he's likely to see in the NRL is two years. Bit of a risk but I'd certainly look at three for him. It would be a bit of a statement signing and he's also a cult hero type player thanks to his Edwardian tache, but I wouldn't go past three years. There will be other options, and the last thing we need is players hanging around when they're gone.

Matterson would be nice if we could get another prop, but I do think prop's where we need to focus first. Sivo is a good winger but not worth a quota spot for us. I really don't like using quota spots on wingers.

we've got Ryan Hall and Ash Handley, plus Edge, Lumb, Simpson, McCormack waiting in the wings that can cover Wing, I wouldn't waste a quota spot on a winger personally

By SL standards he's world class. Would he get picked for England? Of course he would. He's also played for Australia and NSW. He may have dropped off a bit, but on the scale of available players I don't think you could aim any higher.

He’s be good for us would RCG. Matterson would add that bit of something different in the back row. I also like Cartwright if we’re looking at parra pack players.
