Apparently the Rhinos have made a trio of signings recently who I hear are top notch potential.

Infact one well respected scout described one of the players as having the potential to be one of the best players around.

There names are Smith, Clark, and I think he said Alexander, with the Alexander lad been the top tip.

Smith is from Cas, and which will suprise us all is Russell Smith's son. Of course his dad never wanted him anywhere near Leeds, but as his dad is divorced form mum and living down under he had to kis you Smiths hairy butt.

Is there a link you could post to read about these new signings ?

Well no. Leeds dont seem to put any spin on their academy signings any more like they used to.

I just heard from a prominent scout in the game, as all three were sought after players.

Clark plays for East Leeds, and got MOM in the u16 cup final, and is supposed to be a young Jamie Peacock in the making, but with a young Barrie McDermott temperament that needs controlling. Smith is apparently a huge young lad and still growing. Alexander (think that was his name) plays for Headingley I was told but from Harehills, and is very classy stand off.

The guy your thinking is Alexander, is Anderson, and is at Wakefield.
