Tbh I'd forgotten all about Myles. He's had no luck while he's been here, but saying that, would he have made much difference in the halves when we needed backup? I'm not sure he would have, but again, he's young and will find a home if we did let him go with the number of teams wanting British players, same with Russell. 


Coming from a perspective of Sinfield being the backup half next season to Trueman and Lino, he's already a better player than our back-ups now imo and definitely has a higher ceiling, so just from that perspective, it's probably a better signing than when I first heard it. As mentioned, maybe getting out from under his dad's shadow at Leeds will do him the world of good. 


As Khlav mentioned, it's gonna be after next season when we decide what to do with Lino and we'll see how many games Trueman plays, then we can decide what to do with quota players & spaces.


As for Tanginoa, I don't think that rule came in because he's quota for Hull KR.

Was told this morning, Sinfield had signed for us for 27 anyway and has pushed to join us early.


Apparently, we have signed Tom Nicholson-Watton, young Leeds prop, he is wanted and under contract but Leeds in need of clearing cap space.


Don`t know too much about him tbh, and think it is an area we are well stacked, but I suppose you can never have too many forwards.


I have a feeling Leeds are clearing space for a certain ex Wakefield second rower...

Why 2027 ? Leeds have already informed everyone he's leaving; it's why Leeds are letting him go, so he can pursue other opportunities. Surely it's got to be for next year if he's coming here.


I've also heard the rumour about the young Leeds prop TNW, who was meant to be one of their big prospects for the future. It's good that we're investing in youth, that's if he is coming. We've just signed the young St Helens lad as well, so we've got an eye on developing young British players moving forward, both from our Academy as well as from other teams.

Fil:

I hear he is on his way to us so what are people's thought's on him ??


Personally I've never rated him and do not believe that he will strengthen us in any way whatsoever. 
This smacks of another Olly Russell type of signing...as soon as he was announced last year I said that I didn't rate him either and apparently we are now looking to off-load him ??
Plus we have just signed a fullback/half-back - Kian McGann - from Saints too !! 
If we are aiming to be a top 4 side next season then we can do a lot better than Sinfield.

Read the post again mate, I`m saying he had already signed for 2027 prior to Leeds releasing him, he`s just coming a year early essentially.
