SALFORD'S Tyler Dupree says the "brutal" way Leeds ditched him helped drive him on - a lesson he won't forget on his England debut.

Dupree was playing part-time with Widnes as recently as last May and Championship Oldham before that after being told by Rhinos he wasn't good enough for Super League.
Richard Agar axed Dupree in 2020 without him even making a senior appearance for Leeds - despite being an England Academy international.
