parcels non quota following the new rulings from rfl , so far every reported rumour pretty much come to pass , hoods been great this year but he looked slow in super league last year. Even after parcels signing we have 2 quota spots and are actively looking down under

That rule doesn't happen next season. It's for 2026.

Re: Rumours thread : Wed Aug 28, 2024 12:28 pm  

Agree with fil re prop pretty much told the same so in theory our quota players are

Rodwell
Atoni
Lino
Walmsley
Uele
Bain
Nrl prop tbc


Vagana exempt due to starting playing in uk as a junior
Parcell - would be exempt under the new 6 year rule as he joined Leeds in 2017

Seen it reported both ways 2025 and 2026 you could be right in which case we are one over quota so perhaps the Lino exit rumours have some truth

I'm told that Matty Russell is a done deal, along with the NRL prop I mentioned last week (still don't know who though) and we are waiting on quota clarification so that we can then hopefully sign Parcell

I’m going for a wild punt that the prop could be a brother of one of our current players also a prop.

I have no idea but what a signing that would be!

Also, it would be an absolute bonus to get Parcell in as I think he’s a very good number 9. That maybe would depend on if we could free up a quota space though…

Bizzare comment, because we've signed a player that Powell's worked with before? I hate to tell you this as it doesn't fit your agenda but Powell doesn't identify the players to sign, that's our recruitment manager.

So you are saying the recruitment manager is the guy in charge and Powell as nothing to do with the recruitment .And most fans are saying that bringing in a player that as played 26 times in two seasons because of injuries is the best we can do for one of the key position on the park. Think fans are getting carried away with us winning so many matches this season. In most matches this season our 6,7and9 have been out played and that was before the injury Well smell the coffee we will not get away with it next year Next year we will find out if Mr Powell is a good coach or was he lucky to have Finn ,Gale ,and Mcshane all in there prime at Cas

I asked Ste Mills that about Caleb’s bro, apparently he’s just signed a new £800k deal with the sharks so we have no chance!

You have to be the most negative person that's ever existed! No reasonable person expects us to be going to Old Trafford next season. We are building a squad that is available and that the club feel will start what we all hope will be a bright future. What you haven't done is said who YOU would bring in, instead. Now this isn't a Manager simulation or a dream team list.

He’s only till end of 2025. Signed for 2923/2024 at Cronulla do next season is his last. Perhaps afterwards the lure of playing with his brother might open up an opportunity.

Most likely as you say unless we use the marquee spot with some serious coin pumped in it won’t happen.

I wonder who this prop is or even if it’s a prop at all. I’d have thought we’d be looking at a second rower or 9 if anything.

When you say 'lucky'. Do you mean he spotted those three players when others didn't want them and built a team that would go from very bottom before he took over to 4th in one season and then 5th, 5th, 1st, 3rd, 5th and 4th.
Yes maybe he was lucky. I hope he's as lucky with us.
