I like your suggestion, do we know whether Hull KR would be interested in Smith?

We might need to change his name by deed poll to Greg Ingliss maybe.....

That could be the way we go ferdy should Williams arrive but i'm firmly in the Chisolm camp if we move Bjb to FB.

It might even be an idea to put Zak at 1 with Abbo alternating with Keinhorst at LC until the young lad is settled there if we can't sign anyone else with Roche getting a run in the BR or Ward staying there.

I do believe we have some good options within the squad/Acadamy but like i posted el;sewhere i'd like 2 added to the pack with Kylie ,Hauraki ,Kirke leaving this year and possibly JP depending on the quality of a new signing.

I agree, would prefer Chisholm

I'm a David Williams supporter and think his qualities and experience through internationals and NRL finals will help are young players. Chisolm will get his chance. Gary H is astute and would not be signing Williams if he did not see it improving the team as a whole. Having said that I do agree that a good prop and Ali type second rower are important as well. When's GH going to announce anything?

Signing an average Aussie like Williams would be the end of Chisholm at Leeds. With Hall, Smith and Jones-Bishop already in front of him, adding another to the queue would force him to look elsewhere.

First of all I don't think Williams is an average Aussie, although out injured at the moment he's been getting good write-ups and has played at the highest level. A few years ago I remember when Gary signed another Manly winger there were some negative comments but he turned out a crowd favourite and one of our best signings. Secondly I'm not sure that Smith and also BJB will be with us next year so there culd be not a long list of players in front of Chisholm!

I wonder what first attracted Leeds to Wlliams? Nice composition with the pot plant.

Williams is 'average' in the sense that he's probably midway down the pecking order of wingers in Australia today. He'd undoubtedly be better than most SL wingers, but is that what the side needs? Assuming a limited availability of decent signings, forwards ought to be priority, with Williams or any other winger way down the list.



TBH if Leeds sign Williams, it will look more like a shiny new signing to placate fans than a requirement to help rebuild the side.

That IS exactly why he will be signed.

Hetherington learned not to do that after Mullins and, to a lesser extent, Walker. I would be disappointed but perhaps not surprised if he went down that route again; OTOH I'm fairly sure our research into these players and what kind of attitude they have is rather more robust nowadays.

Ha ha ha



Doesn't he look silly with the false tash, pink beard and that daft wig.

dont listen to this leek123....not got a clue about rugby league...we have seen enough of his garbage comments on the giants forum!

He Dyed his Beard for Charity and played terrible in the game afterwards. So UNPROFESSIONAL.

We need some mean as junk yard dog forwards.

like you mal menninga with your clueless comments,dont make me laugh

What's your latest Rhinos "rumours"!

We're signing Matt Scott. Honest governor.

your swapping semi tadulala for ryan hall

In an Aussie forum I read this morning it said David Williams was going to Wigan! So he might not be signing for us after all or the story might not be accurate.

Maybe GH has heard the Matt Lucas is a better all round performer than David williams and he's going for him instead.

Everyone is going to Wigan. Wayne Rooney, Roger Federer, Lewis Hamilton, Tiger Woods - all going to Wigan.

there a rumours that Kylie Leuluiai has told the club that he want to retire at the end of this campaign

this come has a surpriseonly has he just recently signed a one-year extension to his contract but has now told the club that he wants to go home for personal reasons

now not 100% on this but did Scott Donald do this has well

Would certainly fit the pattern of previous years - veteran player signs contract but doesn't see it out is becoming a familiar refrain.

Really made me chuckle that...
