In agreement with the above poster re: Josh Perry at the end of last season, with Manly still in with a shout of the playoffs he looked anything but world-class. During a number of games both before & after his knee injury he certainly wasn't looking for the ball, & was going through set after set without taking the ball in or anything other than third man in tackles. He does however like to 'niggle'! I am hoping that this is not representative of what he will do when he gets here.

Maybe Peacock isn't going to be the JP we know and respect now?

Leeds are an ageing side, similar to Warrington but have obvious quality. Cross is a good short term signing for them and it's an area they needed some recruitment. If Leeds get a little bit more luck with injury next year, they'll be challenging for top spot again.

I look forward to seeing our pack squaring up with them, especially Perry and Cross.

Have they signed Cross as there isn't any decent 2nd rowers available? Thats the area in which they are lacking imo especially as they are losing Eastwood.

Sounds like Buderus had a big role in their decision to sign him, keeping Danny B happy maybe?

It seems like Danny B is the golden boy at Leeds and Diskin has well and truly been shafted. Considering not too long ago, the Leeds mob were considering Diskin to be a worthy international.

How things change for one player in such a short space of time,

Diskin has never been better than average.
