So who drops out for him? Signing him on loan for the rest of this season makes no sense to me because he's a downgrade on both of our current halfbacks!

Rhinos website says it's for 2019 too.

Yes it’s for next year as well

That’s the longest loan I’ve ever heard of. Guess he’s really out of favour at Leeds

Yes because he's sh*t.

Chisholm will drop out.

He's only 21 and lets be honest, Leeds haven't helped his development with the DR farce, one week Bulls, then Fev, then Rhinos. He's not a prop who's job is to run and tackle and as hard as you can, he's meant to organise and dictate the team around. Can't imagine its been easy learning 3 different teams moves, as well as getting use to the physicality of first team rugby and just 21 years of age.

In my opinion Jordan will be playing behind a much better forward pack when compared to his last stint at Odsal. He’s also going to be playing significantly weaker teams so he should go well.

You're right he is only 21. And Joe Keyes is 22. We can't be using age as an excuse here.
Kevin Sinfield wasted no time in realising he wasn't the answer to Leeds' halfback problems.

I'm fine with him coming in as a backup half. Trying a new halfback combination on Sunday in the biggest game of our season would be absolute madness and I'd expect better from JK.

Wonder when the Bulls players were told the news of Lilley joining? Also wonder if they celebrated his arrival.....surely JK must have some knowledge we aren't privy to?

Like Lilley, Joe struggled last year, this year he's been a revelation. Lilley shouldn't be chosen ahead of Keyes or Chisholm, but i'll be interested to see how he goes over the next 18 months. Decent back-up half.

Something tells me he's not coming in as a backup.
