Has it officially been confirmed by Leeds that Lunt has left?

It was confirmed a few week ago by the player himself.

With Singleton Peteru Ferres Golding Lunt all leaving we must have some bloody good cap space free. We seem to be making way for incoming.. next week could be interesting

Not all gravy I suspect- back ended contracts and upgrades to allow for too.

Would be better if Myler also leaves because he’s a lot of salary for a third choice half.

Yeah good point Jim

I would think it's his salary that's putting clubs off plus do any need an half back?

Hull KR are short of halves, and I’m sure others would be too. Question is, are Leeds willing to contribute to his salary whilst playing for another club.

Put it this way, if we were to pay 50k and someone else paid 75k (assuming he’s on 125k), then we get 75k to close a deal on a prop or hooker. Then he signs a new deal with his new employer a year later. Happens regularly in the NRL.

Myler must be right up there with regards the cull list after his performances last season. I can see him doing a Golding and sitting it out all year in the reserves / Fev tho.

Or the club waits 12 months then £125k to spend on recruitment.Also not sure Tony Smith is a fan of Myler.

Reckon we're doing this for any other of our recent departures?
