Would Brad settle for signing one of his lads if he felt he could do better? Doesn't strike me as the sort that would.
Exactly that. As a coach he knows the crucial importance of having the strongest possible squad. Chucking away a quota spot away on of his sons, neither who have yet made a serious dent in the NRL would look like a desperate act of nepotism from the club on Brad's behalf. Can you imagine how that might sit with the players? I know the likes of Cleary and Lam play for their dad's but in both cases are they undisputably the must important player in the side. It's certainly not out of the question that one, or both of his lads end up in the UK at some point, but that doesn't mean it should be at Leeds.
