Leeds Rhinos hooker Brad Dwyer admits he doesn’t know who he’ll be playing for next season, but says it won’t be St Helens.

Dwyer is out of contract this autumn and has not been selected for Rhinos’ past two games.

He has been strongly linked with a move to the three-time champions, but told the Evening Post that is false and all his current focus is on getting back into Rhinos’ 17.

“It is all still up in the air at the moment,” Dwyer said of his future after this season.

“I see a lot of rumours I am off to St Helens - I won’t be going to St Helens, I can say that, but I am just focused on my rugby now and getting back into the team at Leeds and finishing the year well.

“Wherever I end up next year, that will take care of itself then. I’ll leave that up to my agent to sort out.”

Dwyer stressed he has “not got a clue, at the moment, where my future will be”.

He said: “Whether I stay at Leeds or move on, I just need to get back in the team here.

“I am just focused on trying to do that and when options start coming up for me to decide, then I will.”

Rhinos coach Rohan Smith is spoiled for choice at hooker, where Dwyer is competing for a place with captain Kruise Leeming.

Leeming regularly plays long minutes, though he went off in the second half of last week’s 62-16 win at Hull.
