And the iminent re signing of Senior and Ali will really freshen our team up

I bet the rest or sl are quaking at the thought of our pack

Rumours of Lucas Walshaw (massive young academy centre) heading up the M1 from Wakefield. Anyone heard owt?

Nah. I heard he was going to use the A61/M621....



Seriously though, no. Don't know much about him. Any good?

Don't worry about Wakey's Academy lad, we have an amazing prospect in Wilson ready right now. All we need is for Watkins, Smith, Delaney, Clarkson and Ablett to get injured and Wilson will be next off the rank. Unless JJB fancies a go in the centres....

Any more news in Aus about any players in the NRL that we might be looking at for 2012.



Heighington has being mentioned over here with a link to an Aussie paper saying us and Widnes are after him.



Are Wests really likely to allow him to leave when I think he's still contracted to them for 2 more seasons?



Any other realistic targets that are being linked to us?



Matt Cooper is a name that several Leeds fans have brought up on various Uk forums but I think just on the basis that it appears he is out of contract with St George as opposed to any news stories linking him with us or indeed a move to Super League.

Heighington is contracted but so was Gibbs and Fifita and they've just let them join the Sharks so they can free up cap space. They have a deal almost done to sign Adam Blair from the Storm and he'll be on big money so they've had to release players. If they do get Blair, they'll also have Ellis and Dwyer in the backrow who are all 80 minute players plus the likes of Fulton and some young guys so the Heighington deal could be correct, just not sure who he will join. No doubt someone else with us resigning Kirk and probably Ali and co will be next for new deals. Pus we've got loads of backrowers, it's a half we need to replace Burrow, a strong solid prop or two and definately a top quality centre to play opposite Watkins with Delaney moving into the pack as it's his best position.

Flanagan at Wests is young and British and not getting a game BTW.

Widnes are after him apparently

Bizarrely I've heard Tony Martin's name mentioned for Leeds next year.

Almost like for like with Keith then, age wise that is...

This can't be serious! Martin was good 10 years ago playing for London Broncos but he's not of the quality the Rhinos want.
