I just cannot see any point at all in signing Livett, he’s surplus to requirements at one of the 3 worst sides in the league, and is utter gash! its the sort of signing Rowan smith would make, and how we are still trying to get rid of deadwood, not sign more deadwood.

He looked a real break out player a few years ago but has regressed to championship ship std at best.

The stories about Mom being home sick don’t really fit when he going to France.

[quote="Manheim":32w7lcln]The stories about Mom being home sick don’t really fit when he going to France.[/quote:32w7lcln] What stories about him being homesick? If anything the stories about him going into coaching in Australia (implying ongoing injury issues) are the ones that are being called into question by this news. Maybe he just didn't settle in Leeds, didn't have a clear idea what he wanted to do next, and then a good opportunity presented itself? Maybe France suits him better than Leeds? Maybe men having their hair a couple of inches longer than average doesn't carry the same stigma as it does in the north of England

Hope that helps

I think it's obvious he didn't leave entirely voluntarily.

He was pony (one of many Rohan’s mistakes) we got rid. The end.

Mom didn't work out, but he was a last-minute replacement for Nene, who would still be with us if he hadn't messed the club around. Hard to blame Rohan for that, there weren't exactly a lot of decent NRL centres around and available at that time of the year.

Any of you lot heard anything about Oledski to Wakey for 2026? Heard it from quite a few now.

[quote="Clearwing":3phkk4uh]We've a couple of players who've taken a few bangs to the head but as far as I know, Mik's not one of them.[/quote:3phkk4uh] That's probably why he's signed for Wakey then in 2026

Another rumour that we offered a contract to a running back who played American football. But he couldn`t get a visa despite the agent who also represents Brodie Croft trying to get one for him. Seems a strange one.

but leeds dismissed it at the time. I just can't see it

[quote="The Biffs Back":x2u9z2ix]Gladys and Mavis have just told me this news over the garden fence too, So there could be something in it[/quote:x2u9z2ix] I do think we'll have to be on the front foot in terms of retaining Oledski. Regardless of what some think of him on this site he will not be short of suitors. Not a bit of retention we can afford to let drift.

I think if BA stays/or we get another good coach and keep strengthening the pack it will be easier to retain people and if we start getting in top 4/ finals it will get slightly cheaper

Yep agree. If we look like a club that's challenging again and we have a top coach, retaining players we want to retain becomes easier like it did in the past.

Didn't blease indicate a few weeks ago that a decision re BA was probably due around now?

Yes that has to be the model we follow. Good players want to learn from good coaches and continue to develop. Lachie Miller said recently that Arthur scares him to death but he offers good advice. One thing he told him was to get a 7/10 every week as opposed to an 8/10 one week and a 2/10 the other. I think Arthur will bring consistency, ownership and hard work in a no nonsense way. That I think will attract players to the club and like what`s been said getting into the top 4 and challenging for trophies will attract good players both young and experienced.

[quote="Seth":fb74sz7q]Didn't blease indicate a few weeks ago that a decision re BA was probably due around now?[/quote:fb74sz7q] I think Jan/Feb as they need to plan for recruitment for next year sharpish
