Presumably to keep them off the pi$h (or powder as seems to be increasingly prevalent) on midweek nights, Al. They're young fellahs and it's a short career. Good for the club, good for them. One hears of (now successful) athletes doing two hours of training before school. As Roy (not the Boy but the Castle) said "Dedication's what you need". He later added "Don't stay out late in smoky clubs".
Neil should tell them all to do as Bongser says, not as he does or their careers may go up the Swanee too.
For once, Bongser knows (to his cost and eternal regret).

Does sound extreme,but for those lads to leave home at say 7 am would add another 1 hr on their journey,given the Manchester traffic at that time.

Starting that early they could be out on the 'proverbial' by early afternoon, never mind nights!

That's true.

Just returned from Holiday, went day after "relegation day" been in radio or rather internet silence, could some kind soul please put in a consise list of the In's and Out's up to date please, it would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Derek , when's yer birthday?

Why? Are you thinking of paying for my ST as a present?

The reason I'm asking is I've just seen you in Leigh around 11.45 am today , wearing yer shorts in this weather, so I'm gonna buy you ,your FIRST pair of long trousers



, I could see yer goose pimples this morning, Frank might buy yer a Coat.

Ian,yer need a good butcher owd lad.

Looking at a decent squad on paper lets hope we get the best out of them

McNally, Dawson, crooks, matautia, Bergal, Ridyard, Reynolds, Patrick Mortimer Acton Larroyer Thompson Hansen

That is a fair team so far

As Evans and Richards signed also?

Could Hoppy be off to Toronto? Could Rocky be off to Catalans? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/of ... gossip-87/

Not seen anything on mcnally, Bergal, Ridyard or Hansen..... something I’ve missed?

Looks like you're also interested in Jordan Dezaria, 20 year old French forward who has played about 4 or 5 SL matches for Catalans.

Quote ="Cokey"Could Hoppy be off to Toronto? Could Rocky be off to Catalans? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/of ... gossip-87/'" Well it was Toronto sniffing that brought about the new contract, think they have got Sims, Taylor and westerman since then Feel a bit sorry for him TBH, I would have expected a contract so late in the season to cover either league. Think he's been a little naive (and no agent by the sounds of it), and we have taken advantage of that Personally hope something can be sorted and he stays with lessons learned on all sides

Jordan Dezaria?

Mentioned in this weeks' League Express with Ilias Bergal. Jordan is a Forward and ilias is a Winger.
Both currently linked to Catalans. Signings not confirmed at this time.

Well his own teammates seem to joke about it - if he sorts himself myself out I reckon he could be a top prop/2nd rower

Maybe this is the kick up the backside he needs

Whats the latest on Drinkwater - he isnt on the list ???

Three more to be added to the squad tomorrow according to Derek on his Twitter account. One to be announced at 10am and the other two at 5pm. So far the recruitment has been spot on. Well done to all at Leigh.

I am blown away by how things are going so far. I hoped for the best and good things just keep coming. The confirmation of a reserve team in the press release for the two young French signings is great news.
Well done to all for sure.
