Quote: jools "I think the reason we landed him was two fold. First of all Leigh were approached in the proper manner and with respect.
Secondly I reckon rowley played a massive massive part. Rowley had little respect for hetherington and Leeds due to how they treated him as a young player. He had a lot of respect for Huddersfield following his short time with us and has talked about the professional way he was treated when at hudds.
I have my misgivings about the length of contract given he is unproven at SL level, but time will tell.'"
Or Leeds' interest had cooled off. Lilley has since (slightly unexpectedly) emerged whilst waiting for Brierley. Add in the unplanned addition of Ferres to the SC who only signed a one year deal and will need a probable wage rise new deal soon (the same goes for Falloon at hooker) then we won't have a load of space left.
With your extra cap space with Ferres' departure I'm sure you offered more money and were more desperate given the injury to Grix.
