Kruise Leeming will not be joining North Queensland Cowboys as he prepares to make a shock departure from Leeds Rhinos.
The former Huddersfield Giants man is set for a shock exit from Headingley after being granted permission to pursue a deal elsewhere. Leeming, the club's senior hooker and former captain, was not selected for Leeds' clash with Castleford Tigers tonight after talks surrounding his exit evolved during the week.
Leeming's representatives are believed to have held talks with the Rhinos and an understanding has been reached enabling them to pursue a contract elsewhere with immediate effect.
