That's a great coup for you guys... We've been looking for a halfback for months and Leigh sign 2 within a month!

If Riddy is injured and Micky is banned for a few matches then our halves pairing and 2 hookers is likely to be Drinkwater (23), Reynolds (22), Hood (24) and Foster (22). Very young line up for such important positions no matter how talented they are.

An experienced head like Burns to help take control and guide the team around the field could be a real benefit in the next few weeks with some key players missing. Be interesting to see if he plays at 6/7/9 or even 13.

What a stunning signing. Seriously exciting times at the minute. Two quality half backs in as many weeks. Well done DB. I'm very, very excited!

Exactly my thoughts.

You could have stolen those words from my mouth.

Thanks Derek Beaumont ..... sincerely, & I will bring a friend & pay for them too.

Come on LEIGH.

Blimey...the signing has even made the BBC sports website !!!
