There has been a real shock story tonight.
Rugby League Live have reported that Leeds Rhinos are willing to allow former captain and Challenge Cup winner Kruise Leeming to leave the club.
Leeming has worn the number nine shirt at Leeds since 2020 and has made 65 appearances for the Rhinos during a time in which he forced his way into the England setup having been named in the 2021 Super League Dream Team.
An injury last year saw him miss out on the World Cup with Jarrod O’Connor replacing him as the club’s starting nine which was a trend that went all the way to the Grand Final and has been assumed again recently.
This is perhaps why Leeming is interested in an exit to ensure more game time.
Leeming has again been left out of the side tonight after recovering from a foot injury sustained against St Helens.
Now Brian Carney has revealed that Leeming could be headed to a shock destination.
He said that he could be headed to the NRL.
Carney said on Sky Sports: “It may be the NRL he is headed to.”
On the rumour, Rohan Smith said:
“I’ve left all that stuff with Gary this week, we have had a short turnaround, all my focus is on Castleford.”
