The beginning of the week promised a flurry of activity at Headingley. A busy week of mid-season moves was anticipated.
Alas, there's been a lot of movement this week, just not a lot at Leeds. When the departure of Jack Walker was announced, it meant salary cap space was available. Up to now, it hasn't been used.
As the week unfolded, it became clear no incomings would arrive before Magic Weekend. As is always the case, recruiting mid-season is difficult. Clubs are reluctant to let players leave due to injury troubles or because they do not wish to strengthen a rival. The Rhinos have tried but nothing has materialised.
