SBW?

Andy Wison says the name linked to Leeds will excite the Rhinos supporters more than Moltzen? I suppose it will encourage us to watch Backchat on Sky Sport tomorrow. Any ideas?

None at all. But I would guess centre or half back. I am pretty convinced our half back pairing will be totally different next year, and fairly sure (own opinion) that we have signed Chase.

I hope not. Not a chase fan whatsoever

I was also thinking centre or half back as key areas where changes might be made in 2013. You reckon Chase could be the name AW will mention tomorrow?

No I don't think he will be the name AW is talking about. I just have a feeling personally that we have already signed Chase. Not the big signing.

Not for £350,000 I hope.

I don't know, currently for the wrong reasons Chase is a big name. If centre and half back are two possible areas of change for next year then the name tomorrow could be a centre?

Criticisms of our current halfbacks notwithstanding, aren't Sinfield, Burrow and McGuire all on longish contracts? Is it really likely that any of these will be replaced?

Chase should be released from Castleford if he is found guilty according to todays League Express.

What's he charged with? Going out on the lash or something altogether more serious?

takeover could drag on for a while yet

The announcement of the takeover is uncertain. However I'd have thought if the new player is signed and sealed then to announce sooner rather than later would be the best way forward before United hit the media.

The context of the AW quote would suggest an NRL player. All supposition, obviously.

If we sign Chase and the rumours are confirmed about RB possibly departing and he does ultimately leave then this coaching regime have gone even lower in my estimations and i'll be re-considering my ST situation.
Chase is the most over-rated 6 in RL at the moment and his (rumoured) conduct puts him up there with Tansey.
I'd rather see Olds at 7 and Mags/Ward at 6.

agreed hopefully we get both annoucements

I agree.

Chase would be a terrible signing. He's an average player for one educated in NZ/Aus, and has a shocking attitude. The things he's doing at Cas at the moment as all engineered to get away from the club, and something Leeds should have no part in.

The baggage he would come with in terms of attitude and the negative impact this would have on the dressing room means he's a complete non starter for me.

It's not March 2011 when Chase played well for a month again is it?

Hardly worth getting excited about a rumour based upon a rumour but Chase would be a terrible signing. Would BM pay him at hooker if he's going to replace the rumoured to be departing Burrow?

Andy Wilson is shamelessly pimping his own media appearance with a bit of salacious, probably second hand gossip. I'd take more interest in one of Man of Steel 07's rumours.

I'd even prefer Sinfield to continue at SO

I think it's a bit unfair on Andy Wilson who was simply responding to a question on twitter and mentioned that a player linked to the Rhinos would be mentioned on backchat tomorrow. The names in this thread have come from us. We'll have to see which name he comes up with, it's probably been already mentioned on this forum?
