Think Garbutt would start with Singleton on the bench. At the start of the season with both Ward and JJB presumably missing then I suppose from Frosties lineup above you'd promote Delaney to starting and Keinhorst to subs bench. If Sutcliffe isn't ready then Burrow to start and Lilley on the bench.

Any definite news yet on mulhern and minchella for next season?

Minchella to Sheffield has been announced this morning

Thought Mulhern was HKR bound?

That's no loss, saw him play against the Aussie school boys last year and for a player with super league experience failed to make an impact, and he has hardly ripped it up at London.

There were persistent rumours a few weeks ago that Featherstone would be getting some more of the younger Rhinos in a similar manner to last season, but those have gone quiet lately & I guess the difference this year is that the likeliest candidates have actually managed to make the Leeds 25-man squad, whereas last year Leeds had a number of overage (for the U19s) players who didn't make the 25.

Our duel registration is still with Hunslet so can only go there on that. Could go to Championship clubs on loan but I believe that if you loan a player to a championship team you cannot call them back due to weakening teams for the super eights.

A few whispers that Robbie mulhern has signed for HKR supposedly on a permanent deal and not a loan what's Leeds fans thoughts on him?

Hmm. If the likes of Handley and Baldwinson aren't making the 17 on Sundays, which is certainly possible, will Leeds really want them facing the likes of Hemel Stags and South Wales Scorpions (no disrespect intended but there's a gulf between Championship & Championship 1)?

Problem is, if they go to Featherstone on a "permanent" contract they can't then train with Leeds. That's what the club got into bother for last year.

Interesting to see Robbie Ward going to "pursue his NRL dream" by playing for one of Melbourne's feeder clubs on the Sunshine Coast.

Still, if Ian Sibbitt can play in the NRL you never know.

I guess it beats a -wet Sunday afternoon away at Dewsbury.

Well you don't have to enter these niche fetish clubs you know....

Liam Hood has left Salford and made a similar move over to Australia.

Even the p*ss-wet afternoon in Dewsbury must hold some attractions after Salford.

I say good luck to all the young lads giving it a go in Australia.
No family ties, what have they got to lose? The chance to experience a totally new life & lifestyle, it was the making of Peacock, let's hope they make to most of the opportunities offered.

What he said.

Agreed. If they knuckle down a year in Australia will do their development far more good than a year in the lower leagues.

NSWC and QC are good comps, a few teams would give it to the SL "also rans"

Good luck to the lads. It's a great life out here! Just stay off the meth!

Agree ref Hood and R.Ward....I'd do the same in their position. Wouldn't it be ironic if we saw two Leeds throw aways both becoming the new Hodgson

We are better swallowing our pride and going with the under 23's league that others are going with, than sending these prospects to dead end matches like Hunslet.

agree with this.U23's with 2 over age players allowed in any matchday 17.

Robbie Mulhern has signed for Hull KR on a 2 year contract www.therhinos.co.uk/news/28003.php#.VmHd3vmyNBc I'm surprised that it's a permanent deal and not a loan arrangement as i thought that the lad had plenty of potential Good luck to him and i certainly hope that he makes the grade at HKR
