4 SL clubs in for Tetevano apparently

Hopefully Tetevano comes to you guys as I’ve always loved watching Leeds play, he’s been great for us (Penrith), especially with his professionalism, kept big Villiame Kikau on the straight and narrow during the COVID break
I believe Tetevano will be released if Leniu resigns which could be happening very soon

***Update, Leniu just resigned, my guess is Tetevano will be released ***

Thanks for the info Bob, hope we get him at Leeds.

I wonder which 4 clubs have cap space/marquee money to get him? Leeds, Hull, Hudds and Catalans? Wigan and Warrington are after props, but I'm not sure they have the cap space.

I just hope we get someone decent. If we do lose Ava even someone like Tetevano isn't a massive upgrade, so we're not too far ahead IMO. We could do with 2 of that kind of quality if we lose the big fella. Tom and Mik need real support, as talented as they are they shouldn't be carrying a side like Leeds up front.

whilst I agree he’s not a dynamic front rower, he’ll give you 100 plus metres per game, miss very few tackles buts it’s his professionalism of the field where he’s valuable, his training, and game day prep is excellent from all reports

Agreed two bare minimum.

Giants are due to announce the signings of Ricky Leutele, Josh Jones and Luke Yates so not sure how much cap space we will have left

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Fri Dec 18, 2020 1:05 pm  

Giants appear to be building a handy side.
I would be happy if we can put the Ava rumours to bed one way or another and sign Tetavano plus a replacement for Ava or keep him and one other like Battye or similar.
Anything less and we are going to struggle up front.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Fri Dec 18, 2020 2:35 pm  

I reckon Ava will go.that leaves us needing a minimum of 2 props.i just cant see us getting 3 whether we need them or not.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Fri Dec 18, 2020 3:03 pm  

Definitely need 3 if Ava leaves!

Whether we get 3, like you say, is a different story
