It's in todays LE apparently he's wanted in Japan to play RU.
Also Shenton has agreed to join Saints but he wouldn't confirm it.
Former Rhinos acadamy player Dave Doherty is believed to have held talks with Wire,Leeds,Wakey and Salford.
No more speculation or announcements on retain/release of the Rhinos squad as yet.

Saw this on the BBC 606 site. Not sure I believe, could be true though

Doesn't really make such sense considering the strengths of Ali's game is his handling and off loading in the tackle.

Given he is applying for citizenship and has previously stated his family are happy here and his kids call it home (or something along those lines) do we really believe this will happen? They might want him, what he wants is another matter though.

Shenton, honestly, I couldnt give a rats about. Saints can have him for mine. I'd be more than happy with Delaney and Smith in the centres once Senior moves on.

Why would be after Dave Doherty with the amount of backs weve got? Webb, Donald, Delaney, Smith, Senior, Hall, Watkins and Bush! Then theres Coady.

I really hope Ali stays a little longer.

Maybe because eventually all players will leave/retire and need replacing and sometimes the next in line from the Academy are not judged to be of the required standard.

Doherty was a little unlucky in not getting an opportunity the first time around.

Same here i reckon he's worth at least another year.

Donald and Senior are OOC at the end of the season Bush is still only part time and Coady is still very raw and likely to be on another dual registration next season.
It's also been suggested that Webb may leave a yr early so IF Doherty was to re-join his path wouldn't be so long to get into the 1st team.

Fair shout. Forgot that Donald could be leaving at end of the year, well i mean probably will be. I never wanted Doherty to leave in the first place, looked good in the academy back then! As for Ali, would be a shame if he left, can be a real game breaker when left, worth another year or two!

Like the lad that went ended up at Salford you mean?

Ditto.

Gibson was offered a contract by Leeds but he decided to sign on with Salford on a one year deal instead.

Broughton I would have liked to have seen given a chance at Leeds. Bush, who for me, is well below SL winger standard is getting some 1st grade experience at Headingley that his potential doesn't appear to merit. I know which of the two I'd have preferred to see filling that role this season. That said you can't really blame either Gibson or Broughton staking a claim elsewhere when given the opportunity of regular 1st grade rugby.
