£100k is the fee mentioned.

hull fan on Saturday told me Leeds asked about houghton a while back but were told no. however hull offered houghton to Leeds a week back, asthey need cap space, and Leeds said no.
that would lead you to believe they have another signing lined up

Clark to Leeds rumours are gathering pace this morning on the old social media

I may be way off point but isn't the marquee thing a bit of a red herring in cases?

Just because a club uses it doesn't mean they have one player on ten times everyone else, it could just mean they have a player on £250k, for example, but only £175k off that counts to the cap.

That way Leeds could get any extra world class player, maybe a hooker from the nrl, into the squad on similar money to other top stars without breaking our cap or pitting other players noses out of joint.

It's exactly that. People are too obsessed with Marquee being mentioned, they forget about the whole concept of the overall cap.

And this myth ethos about Leeds by some posters, just becomes incredibly silly. The Ethos is about a team, together, working as one, growing with one another. It has nothing to do with money, and some being on more or less.

When you add in the possible ways to misspell Daryl he could replace all three for those who struggle with Zak/Zac and end up resorting to 'Big Macs'

What's peoples thoughts on the Josh McCrone rumors? Underwhelming would be my view.

never heard of him

I'd be underwhelmed. Not sure that he'd offer much different to Burrow. He's not getting a game at the Raiders so it's feasible that he could be on his way.

Not heard of him myself but then my knowledge of cuthbo and garbutt was close to none but they have worked.

I have a good amount of faith in our scouting team at the moment so a bit of trust is probably deserved if we are interested in this 'underwhelming' hooker.

Kurt Baptise at the Raiders looks ok.
Was he the hooker before Hodgson got over there?
I know ot is not going to prevent a deal potentially taking place.
But hasn't DC just bought a house in Warrington?

I was told they want him to move over but he won't. doesn't like it over there and, frankly, who can blame him!

Who are you referring to ? So many names mentioned now xD

I've just had a FB post from an OZ fan who used to post on the other forum he said tha Leeds are favourites over there to sign Farrar as Leeds are the only club prepared to pay his salary.I told him what GH said last week and this is probably his agent at work.He did say that Farah would prefer to stay over there because he wants to play Origin games.

Laurie Daley has already said he would be happy to pick Farah for Origin, even if he was playing reserve grade at Wests, so there's no real encouragement for him to move anywhere if he doesn't want to.

Clarke . do keep up

Lol

Then again Tad Warrington is somewhat of a step up from Cas Vegas.
I'm sure I read on the Wire board that he had now bought a house over there.

from what I've heard he wants to come and expects it to happen

Maybe he could rent it too Lynham/Gidley or one of the many others they need to sign to have a good team

Ha! It drives me nuts when 'Fans' can't even spell their own teams players names, I mean, how hard is it to spell Seinfeld...

But, in all fairness, how good was Aiton last year? Half off due to 'Illness'? (Do we know what yet? Aussie Drugs Tests?) It's only this year that he has made such an impact with Cuthbo as lead runner, has this made us a desperate club to search for an instant replacement? Farah, is a bad egg according Oz reports, only started playing well when was told of release, DC could be an option, or go for Burrow as starting hooker with Ward as back up.....or Cuthbo

When was the last time you paid a substantial transfer fee for a player? Think you paid a bit for Aiton but can't imagine it was much.

very few clubs pay fees nowadays. we do have prize money from Saturday for a start

And a guaranteed WCC match at Headingley next year.

Has anyone looked at Daryl Clark's twitter and thought he's Leeds bound?
