27 and last name on the starting squad for 2018 - better squad than SL by a mile.

By a mile?

Younger 'by a mile'

Kurt Baptiste is a very good player who is wasting his time at a permanent Championship contender, instead of playing at a prospective or actual Super League club.

So, ask yourself the question why he chose Leigh?

Leigh have obviously thrown silly money at him, in a desperate bid to get into an expanded Super League in 2019.

Leigh have actually paid much lower contracts than in 2017 - that's a reason why a number of last season's squad members have left. Maybe Maurice actually meant 'miles better' than last season's Leigh SL squad.

Wrong, only team to offer him a 12 month contract (Warrington wanted 2 year deal), believe he is back in NRL in 2019 - salary cap issues caused his release for this season

What a signing though

Col, he's never right.

Kurt popped on the virtual terrace and read some of jeans post and thought to himself, what a plank this mon is, if I do the opposite of what he says then obviously that will be the best direction to go in.

The salary cap that has increased from $7 million in 2017 to $9.4 million in 2018 has caused him to be released, of course it has.

Canberra fans not too happy about this, seems we have a great player coming over for a season, one much better than most SL 9's

On one hand,your saying Leigh have thrown silly money at him,and on the other hand,your saying the salary cap has been raised to $9.4 million in the NRL........So, what are you really trying to say?

What he is saying is how can an established NRL player in his peak be coming over to play for an undeserving small club like Leigh, when he would have ben first choice 9 at Canberra due to Hodgsons injury. Yet he is

Canberra signed Tongan hooker Havili and want to sign McIlorum. It’s not like they were desperate to keep Baptiste who couldn’t resist signing for freshly relegated Leigh.

That's just it Mo, He doesn't really know, He's just guessing again.

So,without guessing, do you know why he couldn't resist?

Trying to fix the problem on the cheap is what I am hearing, Havili and Garvey are very inexperienced for such a critical role. I believe as Hodgson's injury was on international duty then they should get that back on the cap instead of looking at yesterdays men like McIlorum.

was not Kurt babtiste a former US 200-400m runner Olympic medalist and former 300m world record holder.

decent signing , will take higham's wage and replace him in the team

dont know why its on the virtual terrace though this topic

Yes, he was not.
