It is but i would expect Weeeeegun to fill the gaps before we are back in the market for players.

I suspect they will have a beady eye on Luke Thompson.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:24 am  

What we go after for 2022 depends on how some players go this year.
Such as Eastmond, King, Broadbent, Tindall
We will need a prop as Prior will go home.
I’d like it to be T Burgess or L Thompson.
Suspect Wigan are eyeing up Thompson.
We probably will need a 6.
Trueman or Connor?
Don’t think Trueman would want to come.
Connor would, but would be gamble at 6.
We need another winger at the moment, but depends if Tindall gets a chance and how he goes.
And also depends what we do with Hurrell.
Plenty to be thinking about.....

I can imagine COVID Britain might not seem too cracking for Aussies over here. Not sure we did miles better with Lui TBH but at least he wanted to be at Leeds.

The gap in wages and quality between NRL and SL is just very wide at the moment.

Is Luke Thompson not playing?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Mar 27, 2021 11:31 am  

Don't think he's turned out for the Bulldogs yet this season. Might be injured.

Luke Thompson is currently suspended for a eye gauge from last season think he has 1 or 2 games left on his ban

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Mar 27, 2021 1:23 pm  

That would explain it then.

Thanks JR. His name keeps popping up as a potential recruit and i can never understand why.

We need to target some quality UK players in this current climate imo. Not many overseas players want to come here from NRL at the moment until things are much better
