Lee Radford today remained coy about the prospect of Leeds Rhinos duo Alex Mellor and Jack Broadbent joining Castleford Tigers next season. Rugby League Live has reported that Castleford have moved to sign the pair at the end of the campaign when their respective deals at Headingley expire.
Radford was quizzed about second-rower Mellor and utility back Broadbent at his pre-match press conference today and, significantly, he refused to deny they were bound for Wheldon Road.
“Both are tidy players in the right age bracket but, at present, they are obviously Leeds players,” said Radford, whose side face Toulouse Olympique in France on Sunday. I think it would be wrong of me to comment on anybody who hasn’t been announced or they haven’t announced to whatever club they are going.
