Simon Irving, Dean Bell and Gary Mercer are the only ones that I remember being contracted to the club on more than one occasion (separately), whilst there may be more.
I don't doubt that it's unlikely that we will ever see Nick Scruton again (in a Leeds shirt) it was a bit of a conjecture at best.
FWIW, I think Leuluai will probably stay, but would not be difficult to replace from the massed throng of NRL wannabees.....
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

And only Mercer among those had two proper stints in the first team.
Bell's being a one off (where he came out of retirement and selected himself because he got to the right centre position and thought I could do better than that) and Irving never played 1st grade in his brief second stint.

Are there any more, or have I out tvoc'ed tvoc?

I think Kylie would be well worth another year at the right price. I cant see him leaving other than if another club comes in with big money and an extra year.
Kylie is certainly one of SL's underrated performers IMO

That was a truely awful team. I even kept the phone on expecting a call some weekends....
The ultimate irony is that Dougie Laughton admitted that Irving was never a target in the first place, it was Neil Summers (went on to play for the Bulls, or was it Northern?) and Eggbox only got signed 'cos he had the game of his life. He could kick goals mind...

Forgive me, my current job takes me to a different country every week, and I only get on here sporadically. I'm in Finland at present where it's cold, snowing and nothing much is going on. A bit like Odsal on a match day...
