It's not like he's 35. It should be remembered that he made a big difference to our 2019 cellar dwelling squad and for that we should be grateful. As others have said a stone of weight shed would make a dramatic difference to him. It's up to our coaching staff, and more importantly, Lui himself, to make sure that happens. If he is off contract at the end of the year the club needs to start considering a replacement now. If we are to topple Saints or Wigan it has to be a great one.

If only life were that easy. Do you have any idea how hard it is to shed a stone in weight?

Lui should be able to shed a stone in weight easily as he is at least 2 stone overweight. Likewise, I hope Hurrell loses some weight but doubt he will make the effort.

Yes I do. I just lost one. Hard daily exercise combined with a healthy diet and it steadily comes off. It's a matter of discipline and if there is one thing a professional sportsman should be displined about it is physical conditioning. Yes it might be hard work, but it is his job.

Lui is done. We should cut our losses and give McClelland the 6 shirt for the season. Just play Lui if we have a couple of injuries.

Lui might not be the best SO in the game but he is way better than McClelland. Nothing against the lad but he has had plenty of time to challenge for a starting place and clearly does not cut the mustard

Catalans are one of the clubs in for Tet, apparently. Surely they can't have much cap space, or any marquee spots left?

Saw that this morning. Sounds like we’re struggling with recruitment from that article if it’s true..

It seems that way to me too. Players are choosing other clubs to us, that’s obviously saying something. Taking the cheap route again and going with low offers. Guaranteed Tetevano will go to Catalans, not sure how they can fit him under their Cap but why would he choose Leeds when you can have the South of France? I trust Agar and Sinfield but they don’t half scare me with their laid back policies. The Giants are putting together a very strong squad as are others. At this rate we won’t be any where near the top 8. I sometimes hate being a Rhinos fan it’s the Same with United aswell, same policies. Surely if we are returning to training on the 4th, you would want new players to get as much as possible a full pre season or is that just me?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Dec 21, 2020 12:22 pm  

Just speculating but maybe we weren't interested in some of the players that went elsewhere.
