Brad Arthur has commented on the situation of former Leeds Rhinos forward Morgan Gannon amid reports that the NRL man could be set for a Super League return.<\/p>\n

Gannon left Leeds Rhinos at the end of the 2025 season to make the switch to the NRL, signing with New Zealand Warriors on a three-year deal, however,\u00a0Love Rugby League\u00a0have reported that the Englishman could be looking to return to Super League as early as next year.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old\u2019s management have reportedly spoken with a number of Super League clubs about a return to England and given his obvious talent, it\u2019s clear that many clubs would hold interest.<\/p>\n

During his time at Headingley, Gannon made 73 appearances despite missing long periods due to concussion-related issues, including the full 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Of those 73 appearances, Gannon made 24 under Brad Arthur and when speaking to BBC Radio West Yorkshire<\/a> on Wednesday, the Australian was asked about the second-rower\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n

Arthur said: \u201cLook, we\u2019re aware of his situation, but I think at the moment it\u2019s too early to make too many comments about it because I know it\u2019s a personal issue with him at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s better off leaving that out of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Arthur kept his cards close to his chest, largely out of respect for Gannon, a return to Leeds Rhinos would be seen to make sense given that second-rower James McDonnell is one of five first-team players confirmed to be leaving at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

McDonnell, along with centre Harry Newman and prop Mikolaj Oledzki, will head to Perth Bears, whilst Brodie Croft and Cameron Smith will make switches to other Super League clubs.<\/p>\n

During his time in the NRL, Gannon has made just one regular season appearance though he did play both pre-season games and has made a total of five appearancws in the New South Wales Cup, the latest of those being in mid-May.<\/p>\n
