Not sure which player Leeds would offer with regards to overseas. We have Martin, Hurrell on non fed trained quota, then Cuthbertson, Lui, Merrin, Seumanufagai on the overseas quota with Matt Prior rumoured to be coming too.

Using common sense, you’d think you are talking about Cuthbertson as the others are all newish.

I took it with a pinch of salt as I do all rumours but I’ve heard it from someone I know who knows a member of Leemings family and Hurrell is the name I’ve heard could be right could be miles out. Myler was the first offer and we turned it down supposedly. Trouble is he’s on far bigger money than Leeming and we don’t want to carry it all.

Same source says they will announce Sezer when his visa comes through.

Cuthbertson would do well enough, or Hurrell but i don's see that happening.


Incidentally does anyone know the state of play regarding Cudjo, Turner, or Joe Wardle, are any of them likely to be on the field at the start of the season or is it going to be the usual ( nearly there, another month etc ) which generally turns out to be half the season.

Cudjoe = crocked. Back in a brace and wont be taking part in preseason.

Uate = Back in rehab. Wont be fit for the start of the season.

Wardle & Turner = Both fit and and taking part in pre season.

As you replied to somebody else, thats the spirit

Thanks

Uate situation is an absolute mess. We signed him crocked, he didn't take part in preseason, we then asked him to play while injured because we didn't want to play our youth. This resulted in 7 or 8 abysmal performances from Uate and then will be crocked for 12 months by the time he plays again and the youth having to play anyway.

By the time hes back hell be 33 and will have hardly played in 2-3 years. I fully believe Darnell and the Seniors will be better than him next year even when hes back fit.

Kruise is the only player on our side with genuine evasion skills, he could be world class if he gets in the right environment, he really does have it all. Will be a real shame to see him go, but like with Connor i don't think it's ever going to happen at our club for him, so i would be happy to see him do well elsewhere.

It's just par for the course at the Giants mate, and it never changes, It's why i haven't renewed my season ticket this time. I expect i'll get some flack about not being a true fan and all that but hey ho. They haven't made the changes at the club that would have persuaded me to renew so i will be picking the games i go too this time .

Leeds only have two centre's on their books the rest are kids so I doubt very much it would be Hurrell.

Giants are now in a tug of war battle with Canterbury Bulldogs over Sezer. If we don't manage to sign him, and Kruise leaves (seems guaranteed). Are we f*@k*d next season? Or can either Frawley, Holmes or Russell raise there game to a level we need to take us where we need to be?
To be honest, the longer the Sezer saga continues, the less likely he is to sign. Seems like we put all our eggs in one basket and we are going to miss out.

Just like last year......
If sezer isn’t signed then losing Kruise really is going to hurt us, and We are one hooker injury away from disaster!

Reported in aus that Sezer has signed off his Canberra contract release papers. Due to be interviewed by aus journalist later so all will be revealed....

Will it be us or Canterbury

On Canberra Raiders fans forum, to be interviewed by "Clarky on facebook" but for some reason was postponed. The article behind it says it is definitely us!

While on lions tour was told from a very reliable source that Fartown had signed a new Australian half back. If this does not come off it will go down like a lead balloon with players and supporters alike. Getting worried now that it may have fallen through. You would think a major signing before season ticket deadline would be a big boost. I hope this signing comes through quickly as the squad now looks a lot weaker than this time last year and we all know how that went.

Keep the faith.
When we do sign this new half back (hopefully in the near future), although I'm no marketing expert, wouldn't it be good PR for the Giants to extend the season ticket deadline (say by a month)?

You lot are really a set of cheap skates

While you i would say are more of a Prawn

Well going by the giants twitter account it looks like it’s finally complete and we’ve beaten Canberra to the signature- .
Phew. What a relief. Welcome Aiden.

Bit strange for them to agree his release to then try sign him again?

* Canterbury - it was late...

He’s not coming? Well it’s finally confirmed.
All we need now is a hooker. Wonder if Canberra have a youngster they can lend us!

This was the first post on here dated 28th July 2019.
AT LAST, signed a 2 year deal, welcome Aidan.
Massive statement of intent by the Giants.
Well done to all concerned at the Giants in starting and completing this process.
Never in doubt..................

Well done to the club for landing him, there must have been plenty of competition.
