It was the club that rejected the offer. There's still a year left on Keith's contract so he never had the option of leaving if club didn't sanction it. Test of his loyalty will come next year when he's up for renewal. There's nothing to suggest he wants to leave but we won't know for sure until he commits to a new deal.

On the subject of renewal I hope he does renew. I knew when we signed him what a class player we were signing. He hasn't disappointed.

Would expect lulia will be pretty much first priority when we start talking renewals with players OOC next year. Shouldn't be anything like as big a turnover player wise next year.

Interesting that they went for Moon, then Lulia. Would have thought Lulia is a better player than Moon.

If I was who you think I am, then I would probably know exactly what money they were both on and I haven't a clue. Puzzling post.

Webb smith and hauraki all gone this year and only ACHURCH brought in.
Buderus, Ali and senior all recently gone and not replaced like for like. Pretty sure we have plenty of cap space, something that WE have always adhered to!

Fantastic news he's staying. He really will have to be a priority signing next year as i'm sure the top teams will be offering him some top wages.

You have changed your sign in name now u have been outed???

C'mon Mods. He/she was a bit funny at first, but now it's just ruining the threads.

You still have the same cap as everybody else despite what you make.

I'm going by his own tweets.

I doubt he will stay.

Why reply in the public domain? Any player with intent to perform at the highest level and win things, which in SL will be standard, will have their head significantly turned at signing for SL's most successful team. No brainer.

It's negotiation by us as a club, nothing less. The "we can hold onto our best players, aren't we serious now" model is barmy. It should be standard procedure and doesn't need reinforcing. It's letting the minor detail become the big detail again.

I'd expect a negotiation dance by GH and him to either say "no ta" or stump up. Either way, bizarre response by us as a club.

From the squad Leeds had at the beginning of 2011 they have lost:

Danny Buderus, Keith Senior, Brent Webb, Ali Lauititi, Luke Burgess, Lee Smith, Ben Cross, Weller Hauraki, Jay Pitts.

They have signed:

Darrell Griffin, Richard Moore, Mitch Achurch.
