Leeds Rhinos are contemplating a shock Super League return for halfback Tyrone Roberts, Rugby League Live understands. In an unexpected development, Rohan Smith is believed to be considering the veteran halfback as a recruit for next season.
Aidan Sezer is widely expected to return to Australia at the end of this campaign and with Blake Austin's future also unclear at this moment, the Rhinos are believed to have held talks with Roberts about a move to the club next season.
It's quite the left-field move by Leeds, who have been linked with the likes of Luke Brooks in Australia. While Brooks is one of the highest-paid players in the sport, Roberts is currently playing in the Queensland Cup for Burleigh Bears and has only played five NRL games since the beginning of the 2020 season.
