Anyone else heard that Luke Walsh is signing for leigh? Hopefully it's true and he puts in a rubbish performance on sat and helps us win

Yes ive heard this to .... more worryingly regardless of result on sat jukes is safe apparently

Heard he was Salford bound

Mmm both Matty Smith and Walsh has been linked with us (Salford) How sure are you that you’ve got Walsh?

Well he hasn't got anything right this season so far. So I would say absolutely zilch chance of Walsh at Leigh.

If we win Saturday? As sure as sure can be.

Not a signing I would be getting excited about. If we have overseas spots free, I'd be looking for a prop.

We need a big fast Winger the size of a prop !! Lol !!

Always have, always will................

He will be a big threat on Saturday. I see him as a half who makes teams tick, and a good kicker too.

I will be there in the East Stand with my little Lad. Absolutely everything goes through Luke Walsh. He ain't my type of Half Back but he is effective for Catalans.

Leigh need to play at their pace. Any anxiety and we may get pick pocketed.

Id run at Walsh all day and take them on at the fringes. Dont get involved down the middle and look to crunch Myler at our earliest convenience as he has not looked interested since it was announced he was going to Leeds.

Im hoping for a dry day !

If the rumours about Walsh are true, he has a huge conflict of interest on his hands on Saturday. He will have to be ultra-professional - but of course, I'd advise him not to be!

Let's hope he follows what young Richie Myler has done, and already placed his cue back in the rack until next season.

Now that's tempting fate with Myler!

Are our existing halves on the move if we retain SL status? I'd really like to see Ridyard have a good stint in SL for Leigh.

Me too - he never really had a chance this season. I still think his skills would stand out at this level.

As sure as Hardaker ??

Alan, do you have any knowledge as to why the potent (Ridyard / Drinkwater) partnership from 2016 wasn't replicated in 2017? I've been scratching my head all year on this one as I'm sure Leigh would have been out of danger months ago had they kept the partnership.

Don't think for a minute that partnership was potent in regular season 2016. But we certainly had a fresh team going into the 8's.

Centurino,

No idea why Martyn fell out of favour. However, there always has been, and always will be, instances of players and members of coaching staff, not seeing eye-to-eye. I believe the lad truly wants to play for Leigh, but have no idea what the problem is/was. We are not privy to the goings on at the training ground.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that Huddersfield's season improved dramatically, when Martyn arrived there?

If you remember, they were 'down there' with us, looking for all the World that they were heading for the Middle 8's again, when their form suddenly took a turn for the better.

Now come on, I never said we had signed him. I said we had given him a very very good offer which he was giving considerable thought to. An offer eventually matched by Castleford and much nearer to his home as an additional attraction.

I stand by that. We were very close to landing him but ultimately no cigar. What a capture that would have been.

I am also a big fan of young Ridders, but him turning out for our first SL game looking like Ryan Duffy did him no favours.

That said , he worked very hard shifting the excess timber early season and should IMO have been given more opportunities. No question.

Strange one if true,didn't Cunningham get shut of Walsh in favour of Fages?

Think that was Travis Burns
