CROSS RELEASED TO RHINOS

Knights Prop Ben Cross has agreed to a two-year deal with English Super League club Leeds Rhinos.

Cross and his manager Steve Stone approached the Knights last week for permission to investigate opportunities in England.

After an offer from Leeds for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the 31-year-old gained a release from his recently agreed 2011 Knights contract.
