You can hardly blame anyone for trying to get Keith, he's as good as anything in SL. Tremendous credit to Lulia for rejecting the approach, it is just another example of the team spirit that has been built up at the club. I'm made up, as he is one of our top key players and as this sends out a great and positive message.

Spot on FA. It would have been a bad move on many levels to have agreed that one, not least when we need to sell tickets for the coming season. It's a statement of intent from the club which deserves a good response from fans, particularly any who are still wondering whether to buy a season ticket.

Glad he is staying.

Reading the comments from Duffy it was actually the club that rejected the offer. They just informed lulia that the offer had been made. That said it sounds from Keith's twitter comments that he's quite happy to stay anyway. Really think the team spirit forged by the problems last year could make us a bit if surprise package next year.

Keith would be on a bigger wage at bulls than rhinos could offer so no wonder he wanted to stay put. It's all about ££££££ to these Aussies

And it's obviously not the case for Ainscough then

Excellent news that he is staying, i just wonder how Leeds can afford him and keep under the salary cap!

All the players at Leeds just play for love of the club and a pie and pint after the game. Thought that was common knowledge

I admire his loyalty but wonder if it is as smart as Rangi Chase signing a long term deal with Cas a while back.

How about 1. Great marketing generating money, 2. Winning trophies generating money, 3. Good crowds at matches generating money, need I go on?

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.
