Assuming they're offered better elsewhere...

Well that's a blow if true, thought he stepped up last season and appears a true professional

Wellcome Bodene Thompson to the Leigh family.

Mcnally received a call last night saying his services are no longer required

Better to do it personally, was he sitting on a contract offer Monty

That's the job market, the employers offer the salary the workers decide where to ply their trade

I agree most of the players we had was obviously not good enough for super league or we would of not gone down I agree to a good shuffle about

Lots of new faces, some strong ones and good young prospects. can we retain a few from 2017 need some continuity! Come on add Ridy, Higson, Drinkwater McNally, Burr, Brown, Hood Hansen,and squad looking pretty good. Why no news on remaining players?

Higson drinkwater and mcnally gone

Let's be realistic, a couple of the names aforementioned are just not good enough,and we must be approaching or complete with our overseas quota,for me I would let go Higson, Drinky,McNally, Burr, and Hood,keep Hansen and Brown, not sure about Riddy as we don't know what's occurring there,it's never easy to say ,thanks but no thanks, but the Squad we are assembling is full of quality and we can't keep them all, and I think we will keep a couple of places free for the 8's at the end of the season.

Remember the task this year is too 2 finish 4 home games in middle 8s and promotion, we need a few that know and can negotiate the championship. We ain't super league next year.

We have Bodine, Morty, Mautautia as confirmed overseas. Hansen and Burr are not quota if retained. Browne, Drinkwater, Patterson, Vea, Langi and Stewart are quota. I also think we will keep a few quota spots free for the 8's

We, have a Coach that knows the Championship inside out, and still have a couple of players with plenty of experience there,remember Toulouse and Toronto,will have no experience,the squad we have assembled should take the Championship by storm , though I take nowt for granted.

That's right Charlie, Torontos coach and half there team have no experience in the champ




Also, not privy to Torontos signings but reckon they will strengthen big style

They just have no experience of how to get out the Championship

Pretty sure Burr will be quota next season, only exempt last season due to the situation with Bradford

Struggle to see, other than salary, why McNally wouldn't be kept on. Good enough for SL (just because we got relegated doesn't make all of um a failure), and would be a try machine in the champ backing up some of our recent signings.

Exempt as long as he plays for Leigh, Widnes had a couple after Crusaders went tits up on the same exclusion

That's an interesting one then, surely he wouldn't have been offered mega bucks by Bradford.
ATEOTD I think KC has opened dereks eyes with regards to what he has been paying out. Assuming it all counts on the cap we are now running the reserves and first team (both of which are looking top quality) on the same or less as the last couple of seasons

I think the same, but clubs like saints and wigan attract players on lower basics.

Pretty much Jukes removing the last remnants of Rowleys team.. Hopkins, McNally, Riddy.. Juke has a real bad chip on his shoulder when it comes to players who played under Rowley, but if by having his own squad he actually coaches them to play with more than a single phase of play, then so be it. He cannot say hes not been backed to the hilt.

and Rowls hasn't the same chip but in reverse.

Must admit I thought Hansen confirmed he was staying just after Acton?

Thats the key Mo.

I never saw actual confirmation,only hearsay.
