Would hope we can keep minchella. Regarding Achurch wouldn't be too upset if he left. I would think it will be Sam Burgess or go as we are

Edited for Stevie Ward news today.

Minchella is on his way to Sheffield and should be announced in the next week or so.

Wonder where you got that from pal

Is there any news on Achurch leaving or was it just a rumour? all seems quiet. Would have imagined if it was true he would be on his way home by now.

Could I just ask how you spell your lad's Christian name ? - it's one of those tricky ones. Seen it both with a t and a tt and I'd like to be able to get it right and stick with it. Ta.

he is back in aus got engaged last week he put it twitter about having to practise speaking aussie again as his friends would rip into him if he came out with any yorkshire words and that was as he was boarding a plane home

Yes it's one T, Elliot. It's normally our surname people get wrong but yes I seen it with one T and double T as well

Thanks for that. From memory I've got it as the one T so nothing to change for me which is good to hear. All too often those with the single T appear to morph into double T's over time. Good point re surname but thankfully haven't noticed any confusion there.

Just been told that Leeds have put a 125k bid in for Bradfords Adam OBrien.

Just seen you post that on Facebook, and have to say I would be gobsmacked if that was true. Not disbelieving you, but would seriously question the sanity of people at the club. He is real bog standard. Robbie Ward was better than him. Would not even pay the £5k.

Have you got that from my post on the Bulls boars this afternoon, although I did say I didn't know what the figure was

Just looked at O'Brien's Twitter. Are we running short on tattoos or something?

He's an excellent prospect and well worth that money. That Gotcha thinks otherwise only confirms that.

Again if so.....another brilliant move by the Leeds club. Faloon signed as a one year stop gap with a good young English lad (hopefully) ready to step up from being understudy to 1st choice in 2017

Feels really good to be a Rhinos supporter.

I remain to be convinced that it's a "brilliant" move by us but I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

I just don't get/see the hype about him and unless Falloon/Burrow pick up a long term injury I cannot see him getting any first team action for a couple of years

O'Brien is going nowhere according to Marc Green on twitter. I don't think we've heard the last of this somehow.

I did state "if so" ...in response to Bullseye's comments as a Bulls supporter who has presumably seen a lot of him.

Not seen much of o'brien but £125k sounds a lot if GH would not pay £150k for Westerman. Think he is out of contract in 1 year.

I feel Leeds will be pay of a certain unpaid tax bill and then loan OBrien back to you for next season.

You seem to be on the ball with some stuff but a lot of what you put seems to be from trawling other forums!!

Plenty of hype about him and imo that's all it is hype.
However GH wouldn't spend 125k lightly but im not convinced A.He's worth it or B.We actually need another 9.

I am not sure O'Brien is the answer (as I have not seen much of him), but I can certainly understand GH trying to get a young, good English (Irish?!?) prospect at hooker. He will not want to keep trawling the NRL every one/two years to get an "interim" hooker, & it is the one position we have been unable to fill (adequately enough) from within our youth system since Diskin emerged.

It would seem that a move for Clark has hit the rocks, there were rumours of Hull being approached about Houghton, I even heard the rumour on here about GH enquiring about McIlorum, & Falloon has only signed a one year deal. So am not surprised if hooker is still GH's top priority.

Jordan Cox released by Hull KR and signed for Warrington. Looking like Robbie Mulhern will be his replacement at Hull KR which means more game time for him there.

Keinhorst has just signed extension to his current contract & been given the no 18 jersey. In todays YEP GH says that Achurch will be here next season.

Good news about Keinhorst, well deserved.

Regards Achurch, am i right in thinking this would be his last year? if it is, and we can assume he is on a fair whack, you can't blame him for seeing it out if no other offer comes close to it.
