You can only have two marquee players.

Don’t think Myler is OOC until end of next year either. To be honest, I think it’s clear they are targeting a half. Powell himself said so. Sounds to me like they are making approaches for any decent half in SL.

Tried for Gale because they think we will bend over. From watching Connor play the other night it wouldn’t surprise me if Hull got rid and freed up more cap space. Looks like someone who wants to go/has issues with teammates.

Hurrels a maque at the moment so they have to pay him out right or pay him less.so if merrin,gaoe and connor is the marques then someone isnt getting the money they would be wanting

Thought I read it was 3 next season.

I think Myler will be told he isn't wanted and released if he finds a new club, heard Hull KR mentioned.

Pretty sure Merrin and Watkins were the marques at Leeds this season.

I'm pretty sure that the 2 marquees at Leeds are Hurrell and Merrin, which was the catalyst to Watkins taking his ball home. Didn't he fall out with them because he claimed that he had been promised a pay-rise and marquee status from the start of the season which Leeds then renaged on by going down the Hurrell / Merrin route??

No, Watkins was due to be the marquee player next year but because both spots were taken by Hurrell & Merrin and be wouldn't take a pay cut they had to let him go.

I'm sure next year's Coach won't allow such discgraceful behaviour, well not unless King Kev tells him to! :D

Fair dos.

Next time someone on here thinks about criticising Blair (whos doing a decent job imo) I'd suggest they watch marque Hurrells defensive 'highlights' and decide weather it's justified!

With everyone one "in the know" about gale he's going - he's staying, better than brexit, people are saying we need a quality replacement... People are forgetting gales been to Bradford, harlequins and donny was let go from Leeds so hardly quality teams. People were moaning when he signed cos he wasn't good enough. Careful what you wish for lol.

The rumours over the weekend were very positive that he was going and that the announcement would be soon
I’ve never seen such a strong rumour get so little coverage other than on this site.

Weren't there talks of extending the marquee rule to 3 players at the beginning of the year? Maybe we have to wait for end of season to see if Leeds sign another one. I'm not too fussed either way if Gale leaves as long as we find a good replacement. Trueman is the future and we need try to retain him and build around him. If Gale goes, then so be it as long as we don't expect Ellis to fill his boots or somebody like Richie Myler.

Some good judges who wouldn't have come out strong unless they were certain he was going on here
So it is somewhat of a puzzle
