Burgess wouldn't have been.

So how much would Widdop cost then? That's if he'd even consider Leeds after the appalling way Segeyaro's been treated of course...

Leeds have a very close relationship with South Sydney which is of mutual benefit to both clubs.

I think it was a case of whether Souths could fit him in their cap for 2016. If they couldn't we might've gotten 1 season out of him but no more.

Was true ..well if beeb is reliable http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/34713171 Mind don't believe GH would have gone for him even if available...Koukash was also interested so more likely to wind him up.

They thought we had Burgess signed, hence why we pulled out of Westerman and Clarke deals. Burgess was a lot of money. Burgess obviously only wanted Aus return. Massive mistake made over that deal, with what we lost, but on the other hand had they pulled it off it would have been some game changer.

I think looking at what we have tried to do over last couple of years, and the messages coming out, that it looks certain a deal is agreed for Widdop for next year. Just my gut feel, nothing else.

Id welcome the Widdop signing G but still think we need more namely a linebreaking Prop & a BR in the mould of Moors.

Certainly would've been a game changer and we'd be a very different looking side right now had it happened. Wouldn't it Tad?

I've wanted Widdop at Leeds since seeing him and Sinfield together in the WC. Really hope it comes off.
Moley on Twitter seems to think Leeds are showing major interest.
