Quote: Saddened! "This rumour never dies down does it.
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. If he goes, he goes with all my thanks, he's been superb for us. But if he does want to leave, it'll be interesting to see what they do about it. We can't rely on da kids for both halfback positions because they've proven themselves to be lacking in the toughness we would need in order to rely on them.'"
Leon wanted an extension as far as I know at St Helens but his request was turned down because you can't afford to top up his contract when his current deal runs out.
So with that in mind and us offering him a three year deal and the chance to return to his hometown club, wouldn't be in your best interests to take the money from us otheriwse you could potentially lose him on a free at the end of next season.
