Your idea of great is different to mine then I'd say French who played wing when back from injury was great,I hope Fusitua proves me wrong and tears it up next season.

Decent signing, big unit, only 27, 40 NRL games, plenty to prove. What's not to like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK was due back around April time, I suspect that has slipped so we've brought in a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 19 hours ago, Davo5 said: He’s still a solid fullback especially defensively but lacks the pace these days to be an effective top level winger. Not being able to retain Aekins with his pace & link play leaves a big hole in that back line. He was a big part of Leeds getting so far last year. Think a lot of people assumed he was past it but I think he'll be fantastic at the Leapords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've looked into that and TBH he's hardly struggled, bit of press overkill IMHO. Only real injury was a MCL strain that kept him out for 10 weeks, still managed 12 games for Norths, which is not far off SL standard. So I'm not too worried about that.

Hopefully for Leeds, he plays like he did in the first half of last season, up to and including the 1895 cup final. His form dropped off a bit after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nene is a winger, his positioning and defence is not that of a quality SL centre. Think we regretted signing him up early in the season and using a quota spot imo Hope he does well at Leeds as he is also a nice lad with time for the fans, but not unhappy he was the spare one who left. Good to see the club digging in for something and being prepared to loan him if not, also gives an early RL fix Edited December 1, 2022 by sweaty craiq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
