Because nobody 'really' wanted him at leeds, phew!

Remember all those leeds threads stating how good mullally is and how much Leeds should go out of their way to sign him? No, neither do I.

Fair enough trying to save face, but surely in your heart of hearts you can't honestly say you prefer Mullally to Rapira.

Mullally is ok. I don't feel he's a massive loss to our club. He might kick on and become a world beater. If he does good on him, that's rugby. In reality he'll probably end up at Hunslet.

Simply not true, many on here including myself were quite excited by the prospect of Leeds signing him, though there were notes of caution about the risk of signing him because of his run of injury, we've been there, done that and got the shirts with the names of single season flops who arrived in a blaze of glory.

As to no one raving at the prospect of signing Mullally before it was announced, that's probably because it came out of left field and no one predicted it :IDEA: If we speculated on every possible player Leeds might sign, we'd get nothing else done :lol:

I'd have wanted Rapira if he came over to England with the right attitude to win medals and trophies......that he's signed for Huddersfield shows he isn't interested in being successful.

Ouch Printer went and dropped the Trophies and Medals bombs = Game Over thanks for coming Fartown!!
Fwiw i wanted Rapira and i hope it's a signing we don't regret missing out on but saying that we dodged a bullet with Ellis and his injury record wasn't as bad as SP's but time will tell.
As for Mullally well we've signed potential imo and the Giants are openly gutted he's gone but let's be honest the kid has ambition!
P.S. Lets not forget though Brough is the bestest HB ever .......... :SUBMISSION:

What you looking at?....Butt Head!!

Re: Sam Rapira : Sun May 24, 2015 7:15 am  
^^^^^^^^^^

I agree Rhinoms i would have taken Rapira but there is a question mark clearly hanging over him fitness wise.I am quite sure if he stays fit then Huddersfield have a top class front rower giving them quality service for the next few years but thequestion mark is there for now.

I am satisfied with us getting Mullally TBH on the thinking another experienced quality front rower will be brought in to join him in due course.

Re: Sam Rapira : Sun May 24, 2015 9:26 am  
Let's go back to the past re trophies and medals.

Maybe Rapira saw that this season is leeds last opportunity to win anything. Maybe he saw how poor you were for 3 games without Sinfield and realised it will only get worse when JP and Kylie leave.

Maybe laughed as much as everybody else when Rob Burrow got another 2 years.

I'm surprised leeds wanted him any way, he doesn't have many medals, therefore must be rubbish.

With regards to Mullally having ambition, that may be the case. Or the fact that he lives in headingley might have something to do with it.

You lot keep mentioning his potential and you might convince yourselves that he's a good signing!

Really? Really??

This rubbish from a fan of a club who every season are one serious injury away from being outside the top 8.

Your one man team is a joke.

Re: Sam Rapira : Sun May 24, 2015 11:04 am  
Rapira probably choose Huddersfield over Leeds because the former offered a better contract than the latter. Leeds were rumoured to be offering him a one year deal whilst Huddersfield have offered him two years. Regarding Rob Burrow, he’s possibly on reduced terms and certainly won’t be earning the wages that he once did at the peak of his career. Two years is not a bad deal and whilst he's fit to play, he can change a game.

Leeds fans don’t need to worry much about the prop situation with Cuthbertson signed on for four years which will soften the blow of Peacock going. Mullally might not be in that mould but Leeds won grand finals with Kirke in the team so everything’s looking great from a fan prospective. Also Jordan Baldwinson will be back at Leeds next year since becoming a fans favourite at Featherstone Rovers playing prop.

Bookmark this comment because I can confidently predict Leeds will still do better than Huddersfield when Sinfield has gone. Yeah they might have a better goal kicker for a couple of years but that skill is hopeless if your team can only score three tries against their eight in a knock out game.
