Josh Griffin
He was offered to all clubs for free recentley, but no one wanted him.

you are wrong about Griffin Think Hull would pay a small part of his salary to get rid has been offered out but cant see a S/L league club wanting him. Rubbish as a centre,lazy as a player and a real poor attitude

I wonder if the Giants player we are after in the swap deal is Matty English?
Having had a look at the Giants squad Prop (middle forwards) does seem to be the one position where they are overloaded. Think Oliver Wilson would be far more likely than Matty English though.

Olly Wilson is a good young prop forward He played for England Academy v Australia Schoolboys in 2018 whilst still at the Bulls so he has good pedigree

Yeah, he's a good player. With respect to Sharky and his source I do find this rumoured swap deal a bit of a puzzle. There aren't many obvious holes in the Huddersfield squad and certainly not ones where Leeds have the depth to lose a player. Guess we'll see soon enough.
