One question - if we could afford him how come we were unable to afford Lee Smith?

THere's no saying that had we offered Smith more he'd stay. Cast your minds back a year, and Leeds weren't so keen to keep hold of him were they. Shouldn't expect loyalty in that situation.

I think he may have left even if Wasps hadn't been after him

At the end of the day Leed's will have in all probability made Delaney a better offer than the Titans, BUT the main thing is he's young, he's still learning and he's not here to finish his career and just take home a pay packet til he calls it a day

Will reserve judgement un till/if he plays for us. We can only hope that GH and BM have seen something everyone else hasn't.

It is a good point that Keith may move into the pack so there still maybe a spot for Ratu/Watkins.

What's the point of moving Senior into a more physical role in the pack this late in his career when he's one of the most creative centres in the competition?

Did you miss the bit about him turning down a 4 year deal at the Titans then? for a 3 year deal at Leeds.

So he is just coming for the money then

Doesn't every player get swayed by money?

You said previously he could not find a club in the NRL. The Titans offered him a 4 year deal which would suggest he was a wanted player.

Personally I dont really care if he was swayed by money. I only care that he is worth that money.

It's not a name that means anything to me.

Is he regarded as a right or left centre in the NRL?
