Confirmed that he signed today.

He's crap

Maybe not crap DD but not very good i admit!

Who else did they say?

The guy (centre) from Widnes?? - not bad that. Has a bit of pace if it's the guy I'm thinking of

Its not hes a Blonde backrow i think

stand off / loose forward are we sure he's signed ?

hes a loose forward,

not good distribution but decent footwork and i thought he was decent in defence

not the guy I'm thinking of at all then





Backrower not top of our requirements I wouldn't think

I hope we aren't signing just for signings sake he aint gonna get on before Goulden or Taylor if Beswick plays 9 he may gett the 13 shirt

John Duffy also signed.

Thats good news.

Very Good news. What was said about the duals? My signal kept going on line.

This is an unusual signing. For me and going off his past record he's a 6 or13 two positions we don't really need cover with Ridyard/McNally/Brierley in the halves and Duffy/Nicho at hooker I'd presume Beswick will slot in to 13. Welcome to Leigh and hopefully he'll do a job. Not an exciting player but is a solid defender and is another body on board.

Going from what's been confirmed;

1. Pownall
2.
3. Littler
4.
5. McGilvary
6. Ridyard
7. McNally/Brierley
8. Bibey (if fit)
9. Duffy
10.
11. Goulden
12. Taylor
13. Beswick

14. Thornley
15. Gallagher
16. Nicholson
17. Gerrard

Sorry if I've missed anyone out, fill the gaps. Not heard anything on Hoppy, is he confirmed for next season? We a definitely missing a good couple of props, especially now Bracek is out of the picture.

Cracking young player IMO with a lot of potential. Had the odd surge to throw the wonder ball but he worked very hard for the team and in a few games (Inc NRC final 2010) took it upon himself (at 20/21) to drag the team up.

Only the assault (?) charge etc stalled his career.

Mine to, went off just as they were saying the date for the Wigan friendly.

We will be having 4 duals again next season. We have a relationship with Wigan again (now Milward has gone), they will be releasing two players to us in January after they have made a decision who they feel will benefit from the arrangement and we will get a first pick of a list of players. Looking at continuing the relationship with Wire and taking a player from them also. We won't know who the dual players will be until January.

Very good BUT the longer everything goes on with us missing vital players hampers our Prep and like i said before we don't want to end up with players just for the sake who play in the same position.

That is excellent news. Wigan have some good young forwards, Crosby, Burke, Hughes (more of a backrower) and Spencer would all do a job for Leigh.

Keith Freer confirmed he will be signing tomorrow. Also, they have made an offer to an un-named prop who seems prepared to sign.

Who? Hoppy or Bracek? Bracek is still in talks with other clubs and has stated 'it wasn't to be' or something along those lines on Twitter.

Hoppy..

He`s the one for the future and IMO a better signing than Bracek would ve been.

No doubt about it.

Not for 2012, although both should be on the squad list imo.
I wonder how far the 2 sides were apart?
