What was Tom Johnstone’s injury record before joining Catalans?

I am OK with Fusitua as long as its at the right salary level as we would still have 3 qouta places available. If the salary is appropriate you won't get a decent overseas player for the same money. If Fusitua had played majority of the games he would be getting an offer from the NRL now. Unless we sort the halves it makes no difference anyway Josh Addo Carr would struggle to score many for Leeds.

Similar comparison to the one you made with Powell and Warrington.
Things can change very quickly.
Just because Johnstone is currently playing doesn't change the fact that he has a terrible injury record.

Of course they can, the reason Im fine with retaining Fusitua is I think we have bigger fish to fry with recruitment, and we do have the Quota Spots available so Fusi taking up one doesn't bother me too much for next year.

I agree. Priorities are elsewhere for 2024.
We've probably taken the easy option of retaining him so we don't have to add another winger to the long list of requirements.
But it's a gamble as his injury record is so poor.
We certainly need more back up in the 3/4's with Fusitua and Newman in there.

I suppose the thinking is Max Simpson will be back and Roberts is a year on in his development, Roberts actually looked OK against Leigh.

You have signed Brodie Croft for next season

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Aug 08, 2023 12:35 pm  

Isn’t may going to cronulla next year and where’s the source for Croft can’t see GH paying a fee for him and wouldn’t be surprised if Rohan has spoke to Sezer about having another year hear unless he’s signed elsewhere

That would be a welcome development from a Leeds perspective. What makes you so sure?
