Man of Kent Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Signing next week, according to LE. Very good signing. Future England hooker in my book.
Cheshire Setter Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 For who? EDIT: Just seen the tag. Have to feel sorry for Brad Dwyer - he just can’t seem to get a guaranteed hooking role anywhere. He’s very decent and seemed to be one of Leeds’ better players last year.
Man of Kent Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 For clarity, the reported deal is Leeming to Leeds for a fee plus Owen Trout to Huddersfield.
rhinos78 Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Not sure how to feel, really happy with Leeming but dont really want to lose Trout. If it was the only way to get the deal done, then its probably a good deal for both clubs. We get an exciting young 9 with loads of natural ability, who strengthens our first 17 straight away and dosnt use any quota places. Giants get a big, young England academy second row to add to there impressive group of young players, for a player who wanted out. Think they got some cash aswel.

Similarly, as much as I’d be keen to get Leeming, I’d be gutted to lose Trout who i thinks got immense potential.

I'd love to take Dwyer to Hull. We've not had a recognised replacement hooker since Heremaia. Playing Houghton 80 mins a week effects him and the team
marklaspalmas Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 And in the strange messed up world of rugby league these days, this might be good news for Fev if Corey Johnson has dropped down the pecking order and is available on DR. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/
MrPosh Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 There's something fishy about this deal. People called Romans they go the house
M j M Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Allowing Trout to go the other way seems like Leeds were backed into a corner and Huddersfield wouldn't accept any of the other offers placed on the table. We urgently needed a British hooker (Dwyer is totally unsuited to being a starting hooker - he is suited to what was the Rob Burrow role off the bench) but letting a player who seemed to have great potential go seems foolhardy.
OMEGA Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Huddersfield certainly getting the better deal on this one! As someone said earlier they’re amassing a very talented young group of players through their Academy and adding Trout to them is very shrewd. I Senior, L Senior, S Hewitt, JL Kirby, D Young, J Wardle, O Russell and O Trout

davet Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Although gutted to be losing Leeming, if a player wants out then you either get the best deal you can for them or let them fizzle away behind the scenes. No one player is bigger than the club, but as noted in the Seb topic, Woolford is defining the squad in to how he wants it and is planning for a couple of years in the future with the crop of youngsters that are currently at the club.
Guest Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I like Leeming. I think he could get representative honours. Although Leeds seem odd - all this when they had Parcell who is very decent anyway.

DoubleD Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Done deal, signed for 2 years with Trout going the other way
hunsletgreenandgold Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 As others have said, it's disappointing Trout had to be the makeweight in this deal but overall Leeming will be a very good signing for Leeds.
longboard Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Good luck to Leeming. Kruise's control needs improvement at times, as he gives too many penalties away. Adam O'Brien had the main hooker role last season, so it is understandable that Kruise wanted a change. Another young player for the Fartown squad in trout. Somefin of a pattern emerging..........

Southerner Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 I like Leeming but not sure he’s what Leeds need right now. Surprising, seems risky.
