Associated with us

We’ve had Greeks, Canadians, Turk-ish (see what I did there) Morrocones, French, Figians, Tongans, Polish, Australian, Kiwis, Irish, Welsh, can’t think of a Scottish link off hand, sure there must be one.

But without looking at google, or the old faithful, which player associated with us, was from Wolverhampton

Danny Brough played for Jockland

There’s a chap on the Leeds forum, saying they have beat us for the signature of Joel Thompson.

I like Westerman and would be disappointed to see him leave (again) but this Sao looks like a good player so hopefully it's an upgrade for us and fingers crossed he doesn't pick up as many knocks as Westy.

Just seen this on Foxsport;

LEEDS CIRCLE MANLY STAR

According to UK publication League Weekly, Leeds have offered Manly backrower Joel Thompson a multi-year deal.

Thompson, an NRL fan favourite for his community work, is off-contract at the end of the season and has previously expressed a desire to play overseas.

“I’m always open to anything. Rugby league has given me everything so whatever comes I’ll be happy with that,” Thompson said earlier this month.

“We’ve spoken as a family, we’d like the life experience of going over to a different country and getting paid for it would be pretty special.

The Sea Eagles are reportedly keen to keep him on, but a long-term deal with the Rhinos may see him jet off.

Westerman leaving us at the end of this season and has signed for Wakey. Westy signs for Wakey Disappointed in this news but maybe the club have other plans and reading the mail seems they see Sao as his replacement and sound like they were happy and prepared for Westy to leave to get more room /value in the cap. Interesting times
