I think recruitment for this season, was pretty good to be honest. Moylan is a massive upgrade on Reynolds, while Trout and Norman both offer more than the likes of Ava and Wilde who often featured in the 17 last season. Unfortunately, we've made a mess of preparing for the season, with the S&C coach leaving and only having one friendly to get used to the new rules, has left us with lots of muscle injuries, regularly running out of steam in the last 20 minutes of games and being towards the top of the table for cards shown.

Biggest mistake recruitment wise was renewing Nakubuwai's contract, which cost us any chance of signing Sailor or Armstrong

We need several big forwards for next season. You need enough good forwards for 2 packs to have any chance of doing well in SL.

Seems like Armstrong staying put for next 2years.

When are we going to announce the new signing Derek mentioned would arrive Friday. I thought it was Aaron Pene, but if you believe sarl he has signed for Salford for rest of season. The lack of news from the club makes you wonder if it’s true.

In respect to the sad news of the passing of Rob Burrows, It doesn't seem appropriate to reveal any signings at this moment in time to be fair.

You have a valid point there Cokey.

Whilst I agree somewhat with above , it seems like Leeds have no issue in announcing activity in their ranks.

We should always expose good news when there is a buzz around the club , and with the recent news all over socials that Leigh are taking 1.5k to France now is the time to keep the club trending - quite a phenomenal following for any away game never mind fans shelling out best part of £400 quid get there

Totally agree. Leigh Leopards are fortunate to have such a passionate set of fans. Times have changed since the introduction of IMG but the club have continued to take a naïve approach to the Fandom category and it is not surprising that we are amongst the least successful in our number digital subscribers compared with other clubs. In order to maintain and hopefully grow the level of support it is wrong to take the fans for granted with such poor communication.

Yeh it seems like he has. We have offered a three year deal and more money, plus he will play full back instead of just being a back up player in the nrl.

This was one rumour that never went away.

“It’s just club policy that we don’t discuss those sort of rumours or let’s say speculation that are linked to our club,” Lam said.

“It’s something that Chris Chester (Leigh’s head of rugby) is driving at the moment and if there is any further information to be had we will let anyone know as soon as that happens.

I reckon he was in the bag and signed up by Leigh months ago. All the contract extension saga at Newcastle came too late. I think that he was already our signing.

Pure speculation on my part

Degsey did say last week that a player was to arrive (last Friday). I think that's what a couple of posters were alluding to. I guess the club like to play cloak-and-dagger a little bit.

Great news if it comes off, I’ve never known a time in the last 10 years where the NRL churn out Full Backs who are ridiculously good, if he’s half as good as Teddy, Turbo, Edwards, Papenhausin, Gutherson we are in for a real treat
