Ava has been released by the Bulldogs.

He was steady away but I don't think he would fit in the new coaches image. Seems to prefer youth.

Didn't he leave us due to family issues or home sickness?

Decent player but i doubt we are in for more props unless a club came in for Tet but considering his salary thats probably a zero chance.

Rohan Smith saying in the YEP no lore departures but potentially one to come in - but he’s happy with the squad, Olpherts will tran as a centre snd a winger

Tallies up with what Sharky said then.. expect McDonald to come in shortly

Didn’t Sharky say there would be a young player departing who wanted more game time? Or have I missed an update.

The young player was Johnson but apparently its all been sorted and hes staying

It does make you wonder what has changed wrt Johnson as I can`t see him being told he will get more game time at the expense of O`Connor and Leeming.
Shame as if the rumours were true we were getting the better of the deal.

MacDonald was in Leeds today and at Headingley so would expect his signing announced at least by the end of next week

I haven't given up on Johnson. He's a natural hooker who effectively lost 18 months of physical development. Will be interested to see what Rohan can get out of him.
