May as well join in with my personal take so far ....
McDonald =#FF0000Already signed ✅️
Ipape =#FF0000An absolute must sign
Amone =#FF0000Again must sign
Asiata - Yes
Ferguson - Yes, (if he really wants it) like what I've seen.
Stone - Yes, solid, no nonesense.
Ioane - Also a maybe (done nothing wrong though)
O'Donnell - Yes, keep. He's solid & gets through a mountain of work, very good.
Aekins =#FF0000I don't think the British passport thing is relevant anymore , so far it's a Yes - keep.
Hingano - not seen enough from him (yet) so release
Inu - Release based on age
Nakubuwei - plenty better - Release

Edit.

I think that's 7 I've picked with Ioane so maybe 1 gets cut. Also assuming all those that Chester & Lam approach actually want to sign or are not hunted with much bigger money from Super League or NRL Club's (in the case of Ipape & Ferguson maybe)

I hope we can hold on to both Aekins and O’Donnell. They have both been very hard working and line breaking. Both look SL quality.

Kai O’Donnell has been one of the best overseas signings Leigh have ever made.

Agree that Kai has been a standout and Aekins gives me confidence at full back, so would very happily want both to sign for next season but if they are to return back home, I'd rather that than go to any other rival team.

Blake Ferguson has been confirmed as signed for 2 more years !!!!

Adam Sidlow has confirmed in a Leigh Journal article that he wishes to stay at Leyth next season. He has been a real lead by example captain this year. Big minutes, barn storming runs, offloads near the line causing mayhem, and huge in defence. Could not have asked for more and very happy he wants to stay.
