Sivo fell into the trap like many do and saw French might be an easy target to smash but a little bit of footwork got him out of the way and Sivo’s probably done himself a lot of damage. Edit: just seen the news. Terrible for him, flying over here to start a new life and then that happens.

Good luck to Sivo in his recovery.

Hope Sivo has a full recovery. Really tough was that. Leeds can get a dispensation. off the salary cap as he hasn't played a game. Whether they bring someone in remains to be seen. They have Miller at full back to come into the team. That could give them a back line of Handley, Newman, Connor & Hall with Riley Lumb as back up. It might be Leeds chose to hold the money as quite often a star quality falls out of favour and becomes available. Especially in the NRL.

Miller is a decent runner and tackle buster. I think they will go with him on the wing when he’s fit.

I think the issue for us is that we have based our set up to have 2 wingers who can break the line and finish from 10/15 yards out. Neither Edgell or Lumb, Handley or Miller can do that so if the RL say we can bring in a quota player I think that is where we will look. Interestingly the RL do not have a rule for bringing in an overseas player which is comical to say the least. Dispensation yes but not yet overseas!
