May be not, Wire have announced the deal on their website. 3 year deal.

| Could have been a useful player for us but not worth that transfer fee. The fact that we could have signed him we'd have wanted to shows we've plenty of cap space left.

| Quote ="Gotcha"Bloody hell. A coach is at our presentation evening, and at the same club many nights, and I speak about signing Westerman, only to be told he isn't signing no more due to the Burgess signing been a goer, and suddenly he is committing gross misconduct. Seriously get real. The players are all aware too. I got more out of Gary Hetherington the other week when I had breakfast with him, and that wasn't much. Should Gary be up before the beak too? Now had this same coach told me previous things, I might get the gist of your moan, but really, I think you need to stop scrapping the bottom of that barrel.
Some posters really need to get in the real world. Deals are common knowledge in many circles long before they are announced. Players talk, agents talk, sponsors are many times called on board before a deal. My original fall out with G1 on here was all over Harris coming back from union. I was invited by Gary Hetherington through my company to part sponsor the resigning of Harris when he returned to rugby league. I knew all about the first refusal contract he had signed. G1 didn't believe there was such a thing, only for us to win a court case on the back of it several years later.
You yourself Printer was quick end of last year to post derogatory comments on Morgan Smith regarding how much he had gone for in leaving, and that you had the knowledge from a source. You were wrong at the time of course, by the sounds of what you put, but sill are you really confident to say your information is more worthwhile? smacks a bit hypocritical.
Besides I now see it reported that Hull have turned down Warringtons offer now for Westerman. Yet I know again that Westerman has agreed terms with Warrington after Leeds pulled out.
Things happen around the game, and nobody is going to find out everything. You only have to look at Nosey Parker for that, and he gets paid for it. But clubs do talk. Frosties on here gets a lot of stick, but most of what he puts is true from the time. Things change things change, so what. I have never professed at any time to have inside info, I just relay what is spoken about, and most of the times it is correct, because when it has been third hand I have posted it is third hand. When it has been first hand I have posted it has been first hand. I could tell you a few other deals about to happen in Super League, but to be honest it doesn't interest me as it is not Leeds, and I only have an interest on this board.'"
Didn't claim my Morgan Smith information was definitely correct unlike yourself. If people don't believe it then fair enough I won't go on a long rant like you have above.

I was always aware of the nature of the Harris "deal".

| Quote ="Gotcha"Well I thank you for your comment and agreement, but your last bit is exactly where this board struggles. People make assumptions and because of it fail to read posts fully.
My comment on the club was that this would be the fourth deal in the last year that the club have told the players it is sorted, but have failed to see the deal through with the players club. My point was entirely to do with proclaiming yourself as a club loyal and look after players, which Leeds have been excellent at. Now had those "deals" come from one source of information, then hell I would be agreeing totally with you, but that is not the case, and I have repeated that a fair few times over. Gossip is third hand, and usually from fellow spectators, it is not from the player concerned mouth.'"
You still fail to see or acknowledge that you have been critical and disrespectful to the Leeds club and management which was a point that I posted before which you chose to ignore. In it I pointed out that you specifically accused the club of being unprofessional. You also used emotive phrases which implied fault and bad faith on the part of the club eg "pull out" "proclaims to look after players", "false promises" , "Leeds telling players something that was not the case" and you even had the arrogance to justify your criticism by saying you were "making a moral point"
Therefore I have read your posts carefully and the above comments are not an assumption but black and white evidence that you were being critical of the club. You did not make clear you were passing on a one sided version of events that could be open to question. Indeed sound judgement would have led you to question what you had been told before posting. Had you done this you would have seen that Leeds had offered terms that were subject to contract.
You also stated that "I only know the Leeds position" when you couldn't have done as you did not speak to the Leeds negotiators first hand.

Was that the source who told you we'd be getting him if Leigh didn't get promoted?
Or the source who said we'd get him on loan?
Or the source that told you Ellis had signed for us from Wests?

Yeah but he's doubling up as a chauffeur remember.
I wonder if Westerman suffers a broken leg or serious knee injury, could we get Clark on loan for a few months until Westerman is able to drive again?

Yet bringing the past up again. As previously stated, Ellis was as good as done with Leeds.
I never said we'd get Brierley on loan? But he is going on loan to Leigh next season and joining Leeds in 2017.
Has it not proved correct with Westerman? There you go.

He's also failed to address that if Clark knew the deal couldn't be completed until Warrington found a replacement (which they never did)......how can the blame be placed at Leeds' door? That was the one part of the deal they had zero control over.

Has it not proved wrong that Brierley hasn't joined us for 2016 when Leigh failed to get promotion. A suggestion I said would be wrong
The good thing with people who spread these rumours though is that they just shift goalposts or come up with some excuse as to why it didn't happen instead of just admitting it was incorrect.

Rubbish that. You were giving me it big style at the time that there was no agreement in place. Hence why I reminded you of it when it was revealed in the court case. It was from that time where you started your little crush on me. You were not alone, I will give you that, that were a few posters chipping in who no longer post on here.

| Rumours are what make the board interesting - there are very few on here who post maliciously.
RL is a very small community and rumours will always be an important part of promoting interest in the sport.
Leeds are a very inclusive club and that is part of its charm - the fact club officials are prepared to be reasonably open is to applauded and they should not be castigated for this approach.
The club want to sell season tickets and the club want to be seen to doing all it can to improve the product on offer - talking to customers about the vision for the future is all part of that.
There are things I would like the management to do differently but on the whole no fan could complain about the effort and effectiveness of GH and his team.
