Perhaps they'll do the decent thing and let us have Ricky Leutele and Lachlan Lam, as well as there quota spots.

I’ve heard we’re not signing Croker. https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/rugb ... l-27190782

I quite like Fitzgibbon, but don’t we have Nicholson and Currie signed up to long term deals?

Yes, they are both on long term deals, but Currie is very fortunate to have been offered one IMHO and is another major mistake by the club.
He offers no help with the hard work required by a forward and his defence is very suspect.

Now that McGuire has left there is a vacancy for Fitzgibbon to play loose forward for us.

Has he ever played loose forward?

Lachlan Fitzgibbon signed yesterday for next season. Not sure on the length of the deal yet. Don't know when it will be announced.

We'd also agreed terms with Wakey for Jai Whitbread for an immediate transfer, but Warrington pulled out yesterday due to player injury.

Currie can play loose if he’s lucky enough to be in the 17. Anyway we’ll leave it to Holbrook to sort out the mess Powell has left behind. Justin will be livid when he sees we’ve got rid of Clark and brought Dwyer in.

We've spoken to his agent over the past couple of weeks, but I don't think anything will come of it.

Matautia CAN play loose forward, whether he, or Fitzgibbon should is a different matter. Surely at this stage of the recruiting for 2024 we’re looking at cornerstones to the squad, not fillers with the remaining cap.

Powell has already recently said in one of the Guardian articles that he likes Currie on the left edge, and it’s settled and stable. So it’s either Nicholson is no longer in vogue, or we’re picking people out of position in Plan A.

Yeah all this talk on here of him signing a 2 year deal and it being announced in the next couple of weeks is premature.

What the club doesn't need is aging imports who are injury prone & will take up a hefty wedge of lucre & a quota spot . Commitment & effort is what the "scouts" should look for in incoming players & not blokes who are constantly longing for a tinny on Bondi Beach with a suntanned Sheila .

I think Nicholson could make a pretty decent 13 tbh.

No idea about Fitzgibbon as don’t follow the NRL. Hoping he’s a strong running back rower?

Wigan saw him as a 13. Think he’s keen to get to the NRL as soon as possible though.

Big strong solid runner, can break the line. Actually a decent signing for once.

Fitz is a very clear no 12 in the NRL
