Fusitua on his way.....

Pleased if this is true. Not the prop I was hoping for but probably one of the highest potential players on the market this year.

Good signing for SL if he’s fit.

I wouldn’t automatically assume he’ll take T Briscoe’s place either. He’s wanted to play centre in the past and has the skill to play FB too. Not sure on his D because the highlights never show you that…

Brilliant signing if it comes off, would add to an already excellent recruitment drive for next season.

A pretty confident bit of reporting. Looks to have the ring of truth. I've never seen him play anywhere other than the right and that would address our obvious lack of cutting edge down that side. Plenty of incentive for young Harry to improve his passing game. Would mean our search for a prop becomes purely domestic. Only SL options that spring readily to mind are both at Hull - Bowden and Matongo.

Sezer, Austin, Bentley, Fusitu’a I would say is a statement of intent from the club.

When did we last sign so many big names together?

Of course names doesn’t always equal performance, but given where we were a few years ago this looks very promising.

I’ve been worried about FB for a while, this makes me feel much better that we have the position covered.

Happy Sunday.

I will stick by my poor signing opinion. It is a 'big' signing in terms of intent but the wrong signing. I would rather leeds sign a lesser known winger on less money than a big lazy player. From what I have seen Warriors fans are practically celebrating his departure, shows how much they value their longest serving player. Happy with 2022 signings other than this.
The last time Leeds went on such a good signing ing spree was probobly 2019, turned out to be a good season too!

Well nobody can say you don't live up to your nick name, Whino. Really hope you are a wrong.

NZ will be paying a portion of his salary too, apparently
