I noted a five minute appearance, what more do you want.

Was he under contract at Leeds for 2009?

You made a comment based on the fact he'd appeared on the Footy Show, where it showed he'd been dropped. When he made his first team debut, not a dicky bird, but then again I suppose that's what I should have expected. After all, according to you losing a first round cup tie is more of a reason to "celebrate" than a victory.

As for Tansey's contract status, I, along with every one else on these boards I suspect, have no idea what the ins and outs are. I do know it has been widely reported he has joined the Roosters on a 2 year loan deal, before returning to the Rhinos in 2011. Whether or not he had signed a contract for 2009 with Leeds I have no idea.

To be honest i could have sworn he run out of contract before his "loan" runs out i remember thinking it was strange at the time, but dont quote me on it

Tansey had already overachieved on my expectations for him in the NRL by being in a position to be replaced in a first team squad.

Who is 'celebrating' getting knocked out of the Challenge Cup at home?

You're the one who pointed out that this season was the first time we'd gone out of the cup at the first attempt since 1998, along with the comment of "Enjoy the reunion guys!"

"This is a fantastic opportunity for him to go and play in the NRL and hopefully he will return in 2011 to put his experience to use with the Rhinos.". That'll mean he's not contracted. Hopefully he'll return bit if he's loving it in NRL then no chance .

IIRC that was an answer to a question it's not as if I started a thread with it or anything.

Highlighting the historical significance of a particular result and linking it to an off field celebration is hardly 'celebrating' the defeat in my book. I'd imagine I were as disappointed as the next supporter, as I increasingly are game by game with this season as a whole.

There were no articles (that I recall) on Tansey's future at Leeds until the 'loan' deal to the Roosters was mentioned.

It is the norm when players sign extensions to existing contracts for it to be released via the press as a good news item. Perhaps I missed it but I don't recall any such announcement re Tansey. Are we to assume that Tansey is already contracted to Leeds for 2011?

Hetherington's use of the word 'Hopefully' is interesting. I assume he's also hopeful that Greg Eastwood will be able to (and decide to) start his three year Leeds contract in December 2009.

Full back for the weekend after the good showing on Saturday. Now's his chance to make his mark.

Stats for last weekend anyway:

Meters: 100
Carries: 14
Busts: 1
Offloads: 3
Tackles: 4
Missed: 3

Errors: 1

He made 2 try saving tackles on the line and although he missed 3 they were late on and he was suffering as it was his 1st full game at that pace in a while, plus Sowward goes round most FB's at will anyway.

On the whole "Is he coming back in '11?" thing... lets put it this way. If you were single and in your early (mid by the time his contract is up) 20's and had the oportunity to stay in Sydney longer would you come back? I wouldnt!
