With Hally being on telly later at 6.30 for the cup draw from Bentley it'd be a wasted opportunity not to announce a new signing in the usual 6 pm slot tonight. Just saying.

Gone a bit quiet on the new signings front , may be nothing to announce as yet.

Slightly off topic , but Hull are reconsidering a dual agreement with a lower level club . I think it is more to do with topping up their reserve squad. Rules have changed for 2020 & they cannot call on as many amateurs & students. NOTHING to suggest it has anything to do with us , mentioned it out of interest .

Wellington Albert has a squad number at Leeds 35. Which makes you wonder what the point is - he clearly won't get a game.

Rather have Stanton

Didn't Stanton to home because he was homesick.

Yes, both brothers signed for Widnes but Stanton went back home. I read that he was homesick but he possibly also wanted to go back home to complete his studies.

Leeds set to offload Wellington Albert per Serious About Rugby League.

More news about Wellington:

Leeds could be set to offload another prop before the start of next season, with PNG international Wellington Albert likely to move on. The Rhinos have already let 10 players go during the off season, including forwards Brad Singleton, Brett Ferres and Nathaniel Peteru.

Albert now looks set to join them after less than a year with the club. The 25-year-old spent most of last season on dual-registration at Featherstone and was given the number 35 shirt by the Rhinos ahead of next year. A move to the Championship is believed to be an option, while he could also return home to represent the PNG Hunters in Australia’s Intrust Super Cup competition.

I now have everything crossed

Kieran Lawton is the 21st signing .

As expected

It does take some of the excitement away when the fans know well in advance of the official release by the club doesn't it?

It does. Happy to have Keiran in the squad though. He's training with some damn good backs.

I'm sure I read some time back about recruitment and money and I read that as apart from looking at a few trialists and talking to a few other players that was pretty much that.
So probably three trialists and that's your 24.
We can hope, but it's getting a bit late now for a surprise package even if it is Christmas soon.
Very little bedding in time for a newby will be left ...

Carl just tweeted ...'a couple more before Christmas and that should about do us.'
So we will see on the quality of said couple.
