If you remember when he left widnes Denis betts wasn't happy and made a comment about his agents advice. Rapira or mullally- on form it's got to be Rapira! We have some good young forwards coming through our ranks, Dickinson, England and wood, and nathan Mason is doing well at oldham.--- more importantly all LOCAL lads.

If I was at the end of my contract, lived in Headingley, had mates in the Leeds squad and Leeds came in for me, I would sign for them too. I'm not going to blame Hudds for this one. Good signing for Leeds.

We've had loads of good kids coming through tho and non of them really get anywhere in super league or if they do we let them go t other teams

What planet are we on, Mullally is one of the best up and comming props who actually goes forward even when being tackled so he goes to leeds and we put a BBC pundit on a 2 year extension. Very progressive.

Couldn't agree anymore pal where going backward it's a joke

How the hell do you work that out. Rapira hardly played last season because of chronic hamstring problems and missed the start of this season, game back the other week on the subs bench and now out again on the injured list with his hamstring again.

Agree he's been a cracking player and could be/will be again but has to get over these hamstring issues to do this and then settle in England.

So on 'CURRENT' form has to be Mullalley

Is there another Anthony Mulally because the one we have is a decent player with size but has never been "one of the best up and coming young props" in any of the seven universes.

Rapira played 18 games last season- I wouldn't call that "hardly". There's plenty of time for him to sort his hamstring out, let's hope he does so.
Wonder who Leeds fans would rather have had? Bearing in mind they are replacing an 80 minute workhorse prop and another long minute prop in kylie. They were all happy as Larry about Rapira joining them- (Of course they will now say mullaley )
Rapira is a hardworking prop forward- he will bring more than mullally in defence and work rate IF fit. I'd rather keep both but Mullallys agent had other ideas.

Id like to have both. But out of the two you've got to admit that Mullaley is the safest option. Rapira could be a very very good signing, but equally he could be an awful signing with his injury doubts.

Leeds were nailed on for Rapira, it was even confirmed on the Warriors' Rapira player info page and reported on Fox news. If he has now suddenly signed for Hudds then you can only assume that some complications have arisen in terms of the contract. Maybe Leeds saw that he was out again with his hamstring and pulled the plug...Who knows.

Maybe he spoke to some of the Kiwi former giants we have had in recent years and they sold him on us?

So there you go

Giants wanted to keep him, he took a different deal
With Rapira signing he would have been 5th prop maybe

It's a good job he's gone on a 3 year deal. It will take most of the Leeds trolls at least that long to learn to spell his name.

He (Rapira) signed for the Giants back in February.

The Rapira is signing for Leeds came from the same person who claimed Gareth ellis was definitely signing for Leeds.
from a few thousand miles away on the other side of the planet, Leeds may as well be Huddersfield......
