If Prior and Thompson leave that should create enough for Luke Thompson.
Even better if Tetavano goes as well.
Gildart deal is off I thought according to the Aussie press.

There has not been a word printed or reported to indicate that Prior is leaving. Just a rumour on this forum. If he was I'm sure there would have been an announcement by now.

Is tetevano our only current marquee?

I believe so. But Hardaker coming in had pushed us right up to the cap.

Hurrell was marquee, so unless one of the incomes for this season is then we only have one. I’m fairly sure Fusitua will be next season as NZW are picking up part of his tab this year.

Hull want Sutcliffe but Jamie Shaul is pretty much refusing to leave and making things difficult.

Shaul is due a testimonial next year which is tax free coin so he will be very reluctant to go anywhere else.

I would think Sutcliffe will be getting close to a testimonial as well which will again make him keener to stay at Leeds.

I would guess Sezer may be marquee but that’s a guess.

Indeed. We've tried to loan him out to make cap space for this season but he's having non of it.

We need to move him on to bring in Sutcliffe. Might happen next season as we've got Ma'u and Gale leaving as well as some squad players to free up some room.

Doesn't help either of us this season though.

We’re happy enough to keep him this season. Prefer that then bringing in Gildart tbh…..

Not necessarily.
He may have already told the club who have agreed not to say anything just yet.
The fact we are looking at players of the Thompson calibre must mean we hoping to clear some space to make that happen.
Letting Sutcliffe go won`t pay a third of Thompsons salary.
Again all rumours and speculation I know but without them this board would be dead.

Oh yeah. Totally agree. If all the wheeling and dealings come off we might have enough to make a bid for Thompson in any case. Where would we all be without a rumour? I remember when we were dead certs for Peter Sterling.
