Brad Dwyer hasn't processed the fact his next Leeds Rhinos game could be his last. That will very much be the case for the rest of his career at Headingley, regardless of how long it lasts.
Dwyer will make the move to Hull FC next season after five seasons in West Yorkshire. But there's no way he's going to let his Leeds career fizzle out now.
His future has been the subject of much speculation for some months. That appeared to coincide with an upturn in form, with Dwyer delivering a number of match winning moments for the Rhinos in the second half of the season. But he hopes he's got a few left up his sleeve yet as the Rhinos embark on the play-offs, beginning in France.

"I don't think it has kicked in that I'm leaving in," he said. "I'm very much on the wave of riding what's happened the last two months and trying to impact what I can. I'll sit back when it's finished and think it's been strange but my opinion of this place won't change, I've loved every moment and that wave is still rolling isn't it? I want to finish on a high."
Recently, less has been more for Dwyer. His minutes on the field have dropped under Rohan Smith but his impact has been greater than ever before.
"I wouldn't say I've been great, I've come up with some big plays but in that chats I've had with Rohan we've said those big players seem to happen, it's just trying to keep it level with the bad stuff.
"In the last few years I've probably played more minutes than I ever have and I've probably been too caught up pushing for more minutes. The last two or three months it's been a case of coming on and having an impact. It's just trying to keep it tidy with the errors. Those big moments get the limelight, that's why people are saying I'm playing well.
"Any moment we get out there is great and we're grateful for it, but my job is to make something happen and add some energy. I'm more than happy to do that. I just want to do my best for the team and if that means sitting there for a moment waiting for something, that's what I'll do."
