Leeds Rhinos • Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4
Powell has played just one NRL game I think? I would hope we could do a lot better even for backup. Someone like that is not seriously going to move the dial for our pack as a whole. He may be a diamond in the rough but if he was seen as having real potential another NRL team would sign him up. We urgently need a pack leader, not another project.
I don't mind us going a bit downmarket for a second or even third pack addition if we can squeeze them in. But that ought to be someone like Eseh - young and British - rather than a quota player.
Getting our prop recruitment right is especially important if we are targeting an NRL back, because if we only have two overseas spots we have to get them spot on. Even if we have three through someone else leaving, its not as though we can waste another year or more on another dud quota player.
