In theory, Leeds Rhinos' capture of Yusuf Aydin doesn't stack up. He arrives from Wakefield Trinity, a club struggling at the bottom of the league and who you'd suspect need all the help they can get.
As for Leeds, Aydin isn't the block-busting, star-studded addition fans have been clamouring for. This is a player with ten appearances at Super League level.
That said, the 21-year-old's arrival does at least provide the Rhinos with some short-term support. They are grossly light on numbers this week and even more so in the pack, with the likes of Matt Prior, Zane Tetevano and Muizz Mustapha all unavailable.
