Ah right my bad

Never mind, at least we got Sykes signed up to a long term deal

Get him signed up!!!

Leeds have offered both him and kearney terms..webb is joining new zealand warriors and buderus canberra.... sibbit has been offered to wakefield.

April fool?

got it in one I think.



what would be funnier would be if this was true and kearney and l'estrange reported the illegal approach to the club and we reported leeds under ant-tampering rules.

No brainer for me. Get him signed up.

Stranger is s bundle of electric energy what a dimension he adds to the game with his darting runs. Get him signed up before another club do! Always puts 1000% in and tries his upmost to get over the try line what a player!

Well, going back to the early days of the Harris saga, Leeds DID tap up Jamie Peacock and WERE speaking to him as early as March of the year his contract ended, as against the end of August, when they should have started talks. Full details of the tryst in Brian Smith's house in the country, and the dates and the members of the rule breaking Leeds negotiating team can be found in JP's book, No White Flag.

The fact that he published all this, and nothing has been said, suggests that actually no one gives a damn.

wasn't the peacock signing announced on the day Leeds were officially allowed to talk to him? My guess is that Peacock announced he was leaving and Bradford allowed him to talk to other clubs.

That's certainly not the way it appeared in the book. JP fell out with Chris Caisley big time and they were on very bad terms. JP felt he was entitled to better wages but CC told him (according to the book) to........well, the second word was "off".

You may be correct, I've no way of knowing. According to JP though, at a later stage the club did make efforts to make him change his mind (which hardly suggests they were happy to see him leave, or would have facilitated his leaving) but JP felt 'disrespected' and turned down these approaches from the club. To state the obvious, if his decision to join Leeds was announced on the official first approach day, then the discussions had clearly been going on for some time before that.

everyone knows it goes on every year and turns a blind eye to it. But if a club makes an official complaint then RFL have to investigate and can issue fines. Didnt wakefield (I think) get done for tapping up a few years back and fined?

I'd guess in peacock case we didnt lodge any complaint.
