[quote="NickyKiss":jedrvrpk]Confirmed that Sivo will miss the full season. That is devastating for Leeds and the player. I'm struggling to think of that happening to an overseas signing since us with Luke Davico, when he went down in a friendly at Salford.[/quote:jedrvrpk] Luke Davico is who I thought of straightaway. Absolutely gutting for Leeds fans and even for the rest of us, as he is a player who had the potential to be box-office. Wishing him all the best and I hope he makes a full recovery.

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!
