Leigh Leopards

You know, they're both at the mature end of their career as opposed to a youthful player like Humphries.

Even a Lee Leopards would look at him and go, tell you what, wouldn't mind a bit of him.

Especially if they moved Horne or Ipapi to 13.

Yeah.

But I think Cody Hunter, and we did again, a profile on him, really picking out his game.

This is a player for me, and those members who have watched the player profile will agree, This is a player that I think potentially will not look out of place in a Leeds Rhinos, a Warrington Wolves, a Lee Leopards.

Teams at the moment are at that top end of the spectrum in Super League.

If Cody Hunter carries on, developing and getting stronger.

They have rejected the NRL offer to buy $57 million for five years.

The Lee Leopards owner, Derek Beaumont, said, giving a deadline on something you want that the other side cannot commit to is a gun-to-the-head approach akin to a ransom, which, as we know, PVL is very good at that kind of negotiation.

What do you make of this?

Oh, look, I understand where they're at.

Yeah.

And I will also point out there's only Lee Leopards posted a profit in the Super League last year.

Is that right? St Helens 2 million, Leeds Rhiners 1.5 million loss, Salford Red Devils 1.3 million loss, Hull KR 1.2, Huddersfield 1 million, Castlefield Tigers just under a million, Hull just under a million, Warrington 163,000 loss.

as most premiership rugby clubs would take

But their best player is probably Edwin Apappe, who's lining up the hookup.

Plays for Lee Leopards in England and has made the Super League Team of the Year a couple of times.

One of the best hookers in England.

Should have come to the NRL.

And, you know, the one that really stands out for me is Edwin Mbappe.

Um, he plays for Leigh Leopards over in the Super League.

Like, he could easily come over to the NRL and, and, and be a starting hooker or, or come off the bench.

Um, he, he's a very good player and I think, um, if PNG, you know, get a little bit of ruck speed, um, against probably a smaller Lebanon pack, I think Edwin Mbappe is gonna be a name that we're gonna be seeing, uh, quite regularly in this, um, in this PNG, uh, World Cup, uh, fixtures

So keep an eye out for him in the back.

Uh, and one of the best dummy halves in the game in Edwin Mbappe, who plays out of the Leigh Leopards in Super League, uh, for Papua New Guinea.

He is absolutely gun.

And the, uh, Lebanon side has got Jason Saab in the team.
