would love us to go for welch at Melbourne, he's down the pecking order now but would be a really solid starting prop

Aussies reporting rapana off to hull FC for 2 years. Article also states he had a two year deal offer from Leeds on the table as well.

Someone must be leaving. My guess Momorovski. Miller has said many times in his interview how much his family has settled and that he loves Leeds, but why else would we spend big on an outside back from the NRL. Doesn't make much sense, unless there's more movement.

Thank God we missed out.

Never made the remotest bit of sense to me. Unless Mom is leaving, which seems unlikely, I would suggest it"s simply not true. Will be interesting to see if the press raise with Arthur today. Hull are going to have a pretty formidable "seniors" team. How long before Richie texts his old mate Blake Austin?

Marquee for a 35 year old winger glad we dodged that one

We really don't need backs. Got a few academy lads who can cover next year / need increased game time.

So I was a bit intrigued after our link with Rapana and hearing we missed out on him (personally I'm glad as I don't think he's the right use of a quota spot as a 35 year old winger)

So my source did some digging and Brad Arthur wants to re jig our backlike and forward pack and we could be in for a few shocks for next season.

Apparently Brad Arthur sees Ash Handley as a left centre !! We've obviously tried Handley at Centre before and personally he's isn't one for me he's a out and out winger but Brad Arthur wants him inside Ryan Hall for 2025. Arthur apparently isn't keen on Momirovski and could be looking to move him on, hence why he could move Handley to centre next year. Arthur wants to bring in a Oversea's winger and that's why we was in for Jordan Rapana, we've made Contact with Maika Sivo and again another surprise we've contacted Semi Radradra who is currently playing RU in France for Lyon he played under Brad Arthur at Parramatta between 2013-2017. If we offer Radradra a deal it will be very interesting as we would get salary cap dispensation like we did when we signed Kyle Eastmond because he has been out of the game of RL for more than 5 years now so could be very interesting off season under Brad Arthur coming up.

Aren't both over 30?.

Seems silly to change the team to get Hall and Handley on one wing when Hall will retire next year and Rapana was 35 / not sure on Sivo.

No idea if BA has a Semi xD

Crikey. This has been the problem for years now. We're always in need of surgery in 3 or 4 positions, when we only have quota spaces for a couple. Hence we take a gamble on forcing somebody to play out of position. For what it's worth I think Handley is a much stronger player than last time we tried him at centre, but I would feel a bit for Mom, who's looked a good player over the last month or so. Whatever happens I hope we don't lose sight of the pack being the priority. Will be fascinating to see how it pans out.

I would rather we stick with Hall RW and Handley LW and bring in overseas players in the pack.
I see Mr Sezer has signed for Hull next season.

whats the general opinion of Leeds fans of Sezer whilst playing for you?

When fit and with decent platform he was good, but he was way too injury prone and inconsistent

This is rather interesting!

I can see the thought process regarding the centre position in that neither of our existing centres hit the line hard and direct in the way that a typical NRL centre would do and Handley is our strongest and most direct runner in our back division. I would have concerns defensively with him and Hall on the left side. We had that type of player in macdonald but momorovski is not a like for like replacement.
