We probably have the most youthful team in the SL with these 3....

Alex Foster, 20, Thomas Minns and James Duckworth, both 19, made their Super League debuts last season for the Rhinos and agreed long term contracts at Headingley Carnegie last year.

Second row Foster joined the Rhinos from Wetherby Bulldogs and scored his first try for Leeds in their win at the Broncos last season, going on to make a total of nine appearances. Winger James Duckworth joined the Rhinos from Whinmoor Warriors and made two appearances last season, scoring a try in the win at Wakefield. Thomas Minns, also from Whinmoor, made three senior appearances in 2013, scoring on his debut against Castleford.

Broncos head coach Tony Rea said: "It's important to note that we had identified them and been asking for a few months. We'd watched their debuts and watched their performances last year. They were players we wanted around here."

Commenting on the move, Rhinos Head Coach Brian McDermott said, "This is a great opportunity for all three players. Last season they showed their potential with Alex Foster in particular becoming a regular in our side on merit because of his performances. They have trained well in pre-season with us and the move to London is a chance for them to be regularly involved in a first team environment.

"We hope all three players will have a bright future with the Rhinos and this move is a chance for them have a different life experience, away from home and all the challenges that that brings with it. A number of our current first team squad spent time away from the club on loan in their early years, including Ben Jones-Bishop who also had a year down in London, and I am sure Alex, Thomas and James will make the most of this chance."

just aquick q for gutters!
yr new dawn! how is it going to happen! Obviously you want rid of gus! so do you have someone else to do the job?
You dont seem to think D Hughes does the Club any good! So who you got in mind?
The Hive is rubbish! where else are we gonna play?
you have been very good with all the figures from the past, and you doom monger everything that happens (quite rightly sometimes) you give everyone the impression that supporting the club is a vindication of everything therefore supporting the club is wrong.
What is your answer? do you have a money man? do you have a better option?

Micky, stay at the Stoop, market the product and win more than you loose. It's not Rocket science, but it was to a certain person.

Paddock the problem is we are not staying at the stoop, I actualy agree the stoop is best stadium wehave been in.
Fact is the club owners have decided thats not gonna happen, I am just at a loss with gutters constant comments against what the situation is without solutions!
if dh goes who pays the bills? Who will replace gus imo I think he will go anyway. Thats beside the point tho.
at the stoop the club were not allowed access to all the facilities on match day, quins did not really want us anymore.
I agree broncos are in dire straits, but we are still here, and hopefully will be for many years, but constant whinging without actual answers is just that whinging

Michael, I have posted solutions. Thousands of times and they aren't hard to find if you're bothered.

The Club have changed names and now changed grounds in the 3 year tenure of the current CEO...the only benefit we got from the name change was...er....hang on...er......Nope, can't think of a benefit and now the move will deliver a similar set of results. More galling than the continued theft of a salary, is the total and utter destruction of the playing roster as well as the back office, which has left us facing straight down the barrel of what will probably be the worst season in the clubs SL history.

Selco asked for a Marketing Plan at a recent meeting between themselves and Gus. We didn't have one. Tone Rea went on record at the open day as saying that everything since December 13th has been done I a hurry....there has been no planning, it took 18 months to find a new home when we didn't need one and for the life of me, I can't think of what else the CEO has had to do?

We've moved and no amount of moaning by me will change that, but I refuse to simply shrug my shoulders and accept the codswallop being dished out by the club.....it is really sad that you feel the need to accept the "same different day" mantra....but don't feel that we all have to follow suit.

The solution is to ing market ourselves, but instead, we've whored the club to TK who will dabble in trying to boost crowds, but as he's getting paid anyway, he'll be happy either way. The solution is to cut out the excuses and blame game and to roll up your sleeves and do the job you are paid for. The Solution is to try to boost awareness, increase crowds and engage with your current customers......but the fans don't matter to Gus. He was quick enough to publish their names on the internet but the letter promised 2 weeks ago to ST holders is "in the post"....

....the only thing that I am not sure about in regards to this season is who or what Gus can find to blame when it doesn't deliver!

And whose fault was it that relations with Quins broke down. I despair at seeing old friends and fans burying their heads in the sand and accepting the that has happened over the last few months and the move to a suburban wasteland (nice LITTLE ground it maybe) as all right and rosy eusa_wall.gif
