Zane Tetevano probably leaving the roosters, we should be looking at trying to get him brilliant player but would probably cost too much

Sounds like a number of UK clubs are interested too. Wouldn’t be surprised if he came to Leeds as Merrins replacement.

I’ve heard similar from a few sources now.

Davies I will be sad to see go, I think he is a cracking winger but I understand we are 2 possibly 3 heavy in that department.

Greenwood for me no loss as long as he is replaced by a quality forward. It’s a shame as he clearly has potential but for me he just lacks the toughness to ever achieve that potential.

I'd rather lose Burgess than Davies tbh.

An NRL Back Rower (Tetevano would be nice) to replace Greenwood would be ideal, means that we don't overexpose Smithies.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:39 pm  

If Greenwood is to go we need a natural ride sided second row for me. We’ve got Smithies and Partington who can slug it out for the loose forward shirt alongside Lockers. In Willie Isa we have a really consistent performer but I think he’d be that in any position in the back row and some more threat on that edge would be welcome.

I do wonder if we’ll just see outs though considering the ins we’ve already signed.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:44 pm  

I’m probably in the few that will be sad to see Greenwood go. I think on his day he’s a fantastic back rower but I can’t ignore the fact that he hasn’t played to that standard much, if at all this season. So on balance it may well be the right thing. My concern here is a replacement for him.

I’m not too sad to see Davies go in the sense that we’ve got a lot of wingers but I am sad in that he is a quality player and were it not for that horrific injury on good Friday I’d hasten to say he’d be a starting winger

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:47 pm  

Jack Wells is seen as a viable replacement.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:50 pm  

Going off our recruitment in recent years I’d be shocked if we replaced greenwood should he leave.

No issue with Davies going at all for me, got plenty of outside backs...but if we lose another forward in Greenwood we have to replace him with a good signing.
