More or less a done deal,both parties have been speaking with each other for a month or so now

Don’t know if it’ll be Fifita but with Leeds offloading Mullally to Toronto along with Walters and Ormondroyd to Fev the other week we probably do now have cap space to finally get the prop in we’ve wanted and needed so someone will most likely be coming to Headingley soon.

Not happy about this - if its true. Big time.
..........I ordered one of those nice warm-up tops from the Club with his name on the back!

And you are?

No idea if to true but Trinity have no reason to let him go. Last year of contract so Leeds have no reason to pay a fee. Would be a backwards step particularly with Huby and Pauli out injured.

Re: FIFITA : Sat Feb 16, 2019 12:53 pm  

I hope it's not true, but I don't begrudge him it. He's given his all when here, but his career his short and will want to win something. However well we are going, and however bad Leeds have been at times, there is still more of a chance of a big day with Leeds than us. And he could be the X Factor for them, something a bit different.

I thought Tom would go there when Ryan Hall went.

The team will carry on. It always does. Solomona went after our relegation fight in 2006 but we had our most successful top flight times before Chester arrived in the two or three years afterwards.

My suspicion it would be for next year, although if we were going to lose him anyway but for free, why not take some cash and a player or two? It makes financial sense.

The interesting thing would be whether he would be happier there. From his instagram feed, he socialises with all the other Wakey players. I know he stll can, because he'd be in the same area, but not quite the same when he wouldn't work and train with them anymore.

All this reads like an inevitability that Leeds will take someone from us, an itch they must scratch every few years, hoped those days were gone.

I have no idea whether it's inevitable or not. I have no contacts in the club. I'm just rationalising potential bad news. I'm the sort of guy who thinks that at least with global warming I'll be able to grow my own oranges.

But I understand the desire of players to win something. I know it becomes a vicious circle, because if good players leave, our own chances diminish, but on the other hand it has to be accepted that Leeds have the resources to build a better squad.

We'll know by the end of the day. DaddyCool will either rubbish it or stay silent.
