We were also inked with 2 NRL wingers, Sivo and one other that I can’t remember, so we may have picked up one of those

Tesi Nui was the other and it appears we've gone for him rather than Sivo according to press reports.
Going off press reports, the confirmed outgoing list and the odd hunch(I reckon Luis Roberts will be back next year to replace Nisbet), this is where i think we're at with 4 still unconfirmed from the 33 Chester mentioned in my list:
1 David Armstrong*
2 Umyla Hanley
3 Darnell McIntosh
4 Tesi Nui*
5 Josh Charnley
6 Matt Moylan*
7 Lachlan Lam
8 Aaron Pene*
9 Edwin Ipape*
10 Rob Mulhern
11 QUOTA TBC*
12 Frankie Halton
13 Isaac Liu*
14 Brad Dwyer
15 Owen Trout
16 Matt Davis
17 Jack Hughes
18 Gaz O'Brien
19 Ben McNamara
20 Keanan Brand
21 Brad Martin
22 Louis Brogan
23 Luis Roberts
24 Dan Norman
25 Nathan Wilde
26 Bailey Hodgson
27 AJ Towse
28 Jack Derbyshire
29 Kavan Rothwell
30 Andy Badrock
31 TBC
32 TBC
33 TBC
I think of the 3 non-quota TBC we need at least 2 forwards and at least one of them should be an experienced, front line one to be pushing into the 17 |

Can anyone on here please find me any article or report linking us with AJ Towse - I would be extremely grateful.
I'm interested to see who exactly has said that he is signing for us. Ta.

It was John Davidson on the rugbyleaguehub patreon:
Quote BY JOHN DAVIDSON
Exclusive: A Championship winger has secured a deal to play for a Super League club next year.
rugbyleaguehub.com Long Reads understands York winger AJ Towse will join Leigh Leopards in 2025.
Towse has been in demand, with several top flight clubs after him. But it is understood Leigh have won the race for the flyer.
The 21-year-old was York's top-try scorer last year and was also nominated for the Championship young player of the year award.
He only joined York in 2021, from amateur club Heworth, and has crossed for seven tries in 13 appearances this season.
Towse will part of a new backline at Leigh next year that will include NRL players David Armstrong and Tesi Nui.'" |

In belated reply to BigTimeLeyther’s post (foot of page 9 of this thread):
Dunno, but there have been a couple of head-scratchers recently. One such is the club’s announcement of their expectation of the upcoming release of IMG’s club by club ratings (15.24) and, therefrom, rankings. The season is not over - we are in the play-offs. There are therefore rating points still to be gathered or lost.
At least there are according to pages 17 & 59 of IMG’s Handbook:
https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... %20Version).pdf
Leigh’s (three year average) League Rating as of October last year (2021 (relegation year) 12th, 2022 (promotion year) 13th & 2023 5th) was 3.0004. That, however, was bolstered by a (one season only) bonus of 0.25pts for winning The Challenge Cup - 3.2504pts).
This season, Leigh enter the play-offs in 5th after the scheduled 27 rounds.
Should Leigh lose on Friday and Saints win the following day, Leigh would be placed 6th by IMG for a 3 year average of 3.2222 (and no bonus); a drop of 0.0282.
Should both above-mentioned teams lose at the weekend, Leigh would retain fifth place: 3.2593 - thereby offsetting the loss of our CCup holders’ bonus with a gnat’s wotsit to spare
Were Leigh to beat Salford on Friday, we would be guaranteed 4th - 3.2963.
THE POINT IS that the “minor tweak” (that should NOT happen mid-season!!) may be merely to rate on placings after 27 rounds.
We’ll see. |

Another possibility: the club by club scores were based on 36 being in the top three echelons. There are only 35 now. An according adjustment of the scores out of a maximum score for this area would see ALL remaining clubs get slightly more points - the gap place on place, however, would increase infinitessimally.
That, for Bongser, would be an excusable mid-season tweak.

Tesi Niu, Isaac Liu and Ben Condon. Might have to go shopping for a half back now as well. |

I was always baffled why we didn’t revert to Moylan at 6 knowing Armstrong will more than likely be 1 next year, simply to get The Lam/Moylan combo working. Perhaps it’s been known for a while by the club should it turn out to be true. Also I remember prior to signing Ricky was a big influence in him coming , maybe that hasn’t helped.
If the wages are as rumoured we won’t struggle to fill with a class act |

Yeah, I'm assuming the decision to retire hasn't been made on whim, and has been spoken about for a while. Could also explain the Sivo rumours a few weeks back. Could be an option considering O'Brien has gone well for us at half back during the business end of the season, all on a fraction of what Moylan has been on. |

We also have the option on McNamara, through no fault of his own we haven’t seen much of him .
It certainly would free up a massive amount of cap/ wage bill if we don’t plug the gap with a marquee. |

We've been showing interest in half-back Tanah Boyd from Gold Coast Titans. A 24 year old Brad Dwyer doppelganger.

Boyd a good replacement if Moylan does decide to retire.

Tesi Nui has confirmed he is joining us next year. He played at the weekend, but seemed a bit overweight.Legs like tree trunks.

That was a hostplus (QLD) Grand final which was 2 weeks ago, and this latest final was the State Grand final ( QLD v NSW ) I Think. |

Cokey, you are quite correct. I also agree with Leyther in NZ's observation that he is carrying quite a bit of extra poundage.

Cokey is correct. Regarding his weight, he did look a lot heavier than a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully he gets a full pre season with us and can get his size to were it should be.
