I’m happy with that, come from nowhere, hadn’t seen a single rumour of him coming.

Re: Kruise Leeming signed from 2024 : Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:08 pm  

Very happy with that. A quick attacking hooker. That must mean Powell is off. O'Neill wont be leaving surely. All of a sudden our hooking position looks very strong for the next 10 years with O'Neill and Forber emerging after him.

Finally a dynamic 9 who can cover the halves. The opposite of Cust really.

That is a bolt from the blue! I really like him as a player and that definitely looks to be the end for Sam Powell but I do worry about the limit it means for O’Neills minutes and chances for Forber. Ultimately you need to improve your side when the chance arises though and he does that. I just hope we’re keeping enough space back for the forwards we need.

Didnt see that coming!

Re: Kruise Leeming signed from 2024 : Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:16 pm  

Very pleased with this.

Will change up the 9 position at the club which has become a bit stale.

Very interesting to see what happens with Powell.

Would also expect this confirms the end of Custs time at the club.

Really has come from nowhere this one. Will await Dan on the other site with his I told you so comment.

He actually predicted this one before Leeming was born.

He can cover FB and wing also?

I’m sure we’ll run with him and O’Neil going forward interchanging.

Keep hold of Hampshire as well hopefully to cover.

I think Powell and Cust will go. Cust it’s a shame if he does go as he looked like he’d be a great player but since the injury hasn’t looked the same

Re: Kruise Leeming signed from 2024 : Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:22 pm  

When he's good he's excellent. He's quick out of dummy half, kicks well from deep out of dummy half, and is a good support player. However, his decision making is erratic, his defence for a hooker is poor, and his distribution isn't what you'd expect from a top 9. He's basically a better version of Brad Dwyer.
