Not a rumour, but just a thought - would Mike Eccles be a good assistant to groom for the head coach role? Always very impressive in press conferences, and has got a part-time team to be ultra committed and put the effort in, despite being beaten most weeks.

Yes I suggested the same in an earlier post and would much prefer him to Danny McGuire tbh.

Bienek would be a good choice and also Fenton Rogers at Huddersfield.
Both an improvement on Sangare and Goudemand.

Who knows who’d be best. Brad Arthur is a top coach, yet looks at the performance vs London!

So I was a bit intrigued after our link with Rapana and hearing we missed out on him (personally I'm glad as I don't think he's the right use of a quota spot as a 35 year old winger)

So my source did some digging and Brad Arthur wants to re jig our backlike and forward pack and we could be in for a few shocks for next season.

Apparently Brad Arthur sees Ash Handley as a left centre !! We've obviously tried Handley at Centre before and personally he's isn't one for me he's a out and out winger but Brad Arthur wants him inside Ryan Hall for 2025. Arthur apparently isn't keen on Momirovski and could be looking to move him on, hence why he could move Handley to centre next year. Arthur wants to bring in a Oversea's winger and that's why we was in for Jordan Rapana, we've made Contact with Maika Sivo and again another surprise we've contacted Semi Radradra who is currently playing RU in France for Lyon he played under Brad Arthur at Parramatta between 2013-2017. If we offer Radradra a deal it will be very interesting as we would get salary cap dispensation like we did when we signed Kyle Eastmond because he has been out of the game of RL for more than 5 years now so could be very interesting off season under Brad Arthur coming up.

Ian Blease in the YEP confirming we are looking at strengthening backs and forwards. Says they hope to announce a new signing before the end of the season. Your source seems pretty well informed.

Easy excuse to allow them not to actually do what they need to do

I don't think it's a moan, it's a reality. The official line is always that it will be tight, at least until the likes of Fus and co are officially announced as leaving. If I was Blease I'd be singing the same tune. Under promising and over delivering has always been a shrewd strategy. Let's see what he comes up with.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Sep 03, 2024 8:49 pm  
So got another update after that woeful win against London. Brad Arthur wants to make big changes to the playing roster for 2025 and he's trying to free up as much cap space as he can. He's apparently held meetings with players telling them he doesn't see them as a Leeds player in 2025, it seems he's trying to ship out majority of the signings that Rohan Smith brought in his time as coach, which isn't surprising as Smith & Arthur are completely opposites as coaches and definitely like different players for their playing styles and systems.

A few players we're named to me who Arthur has spoken to them being Sangare, Goudemand, Hudson, Ruan, & Roberts. All these we're brought in by Smith and are our fringe players you would say it seems Arthur wants to try upgrade the depth we have in the squad especially in the pack. The only player I would disappointed losing is Ruan, just as he's still young and not been given a lot of chances at 1st team level and when he's played I don't think he's looked out of place, plus we are losing Martin in the back row so he'd be good to have as an option imo, but just depends on what Brad Arthur is going for next season he may well be looking at a like for like signing to replace Martin.
