Wow. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Paul Sykes will play on for a 28th (!) professional season in 2026 - he will turn 45 next August! Sykes was playing in Super League before the likes of Mikey Lewis and Jack Welsby were even born. What an achievement! https://t.co/hja2oE7RY1

Very good signing. Connor and Palasia retentions are crucial now. Palasia probably the most difficult as I’d imagine a few NRL clubs would love to have him.
Danny Levi can't wait to get started with the Rhinos Watch our interview in full here https://t.co/ttEkRbHmPU

People moaned about Meslier but Perri is worse. Poor for first goal, no where near for 2nd. Previous matches poor too.

Why has Farke taken our best player off? Tanaka was tidy since coming on. Is he injured or another Farke up

Very good player but Leeds have plenty coming through. Jacob Hardy or Jacob Tooala who I think will be quality will take his spot in next 12 months. Oscar Brown and Max Simpson too so well covered. Sensible move all round.
Tough one to take this to be honest. Cant blame the lad though

Meanwhile @leedsrhinos are signing average. Can’t see Leeds in top 4 in 2026

🙈Can’t believe this blubbering dinosaur is in charge of our game again. “Scoreboard suggests we didn’t win” 😂😂😂 What a clown

Big unit. I can see offloads a plenty to a supporting Levi and plenty 2nd phase rugby in 2026

He comes across a real quality coach.

All players picked are going to back him 😂
🏴 Leeds star Harry Newman has become the latest England player to throw his support behind under-pressure head coach Shaun Wane after this autumn's 3-0 whitewash defeat in the Ashes... https://t.co/dOk5iyMzGE

Awful run of games coming up. Please make the call now and get rid of Farke. Good Championship manager but proven he is awful at this level. We will not stay up under Farke.

Hopefully this Ashes series is a wake up call. We are miles behind. Increase the SALARY CAP for god sake. Would help get better NRL players over. Helps stop the drain of talent leaving. Helps for a better comp. More bums on seats. Better TV deal etc….Aus could field 4 or 5 sides

Effort there, execution not. Half backs poor all series. Jake Connor should have been in there along with Lewis. Needed to end sets better and post points when we had them under the pump. Whilst Knowles defensively was outstanding we need a ball playing 13. Missed Radley.

Excellent listen. Well done Meg & Matt. Just hearing Jake talk defences and the fine detail and where he seems to be at mentally, I’m convinced he could have opened up the Aussie defences better than we have done.

I think Paul Rowleys open style of attacking would be best suited to the National team but that ship has sailed. Burgess hasn’t earned the right coaching wise IMO. Brian Mac?
🏴 Sam Burgess has been tipped to replace Shaun Wane as England's head coach ahead of the 2026 Rugby League World Cup, though his suitability for the role has been questioned... https://t.co/w3KM8cjgX9

Great shout Aaron
If the RFL were clever enough to put some time in the schedule for the England national team (ha), a mid-season game against PNG with Jason Demetriou coaching it would be superb

😂😂😂 even more bizarre that Wardle has played then
Confirms what a lot of us has suspected, Wardles been carrying a knock all year.

Finally, Farnworth back to left center where he is world class and Newman at right who is a quality capable right center rather than pigeon hole players although looks like a left winger will be playing right 😂
Leeds Rhinos trio of Harry Newman, Mikolaj Oledzki and Kallum Watkins have all been named in the England squad to face Australia this Saturday at AMT Headingley, congratulations lads
