Based on Toronto release and the Scottish connection?

Press release re season tickets suggests Andy Thornley has been re-signed for 2021, although cannot find any specific statement from the club todate

Finger on the pulse as ever, Cokey lad.

Happy with that signing. Just hope he, and we, get a 2021 season - at whatever level.

Yep, absolutely B&B. I've already purchased my ST, so fingers crossed that we can get some action.

Nice one Monty.

Applause for Monty



Announcements coming thick and fast all of a sudden. Has DB been emboldened by brisk season-ticket uptake or has he really decided to go for the golden ticket of the open spot in SL?

Regarding Steve B's above post, Andy Thornley is indeed mentioned as retained by the ST Launch post though not elsewhere. Any light to be shone by Cokey or Monty?

Welcome to Steve B btw

Well Bongo, Iv'e heard nowt about Thornley. Regarding the GT,I hope it's the latter.

It's a dilemma. The reduced SKY share to the successful candidate (or smuggle in) is obviously disadvantageous but, judging by the number of hats in the ring, Championship chairmen seem to be suspecting the door to be slammed for a period thereafter.

Worst case scenario for the promoted club would be to endure a season's worth of drubbings, absorb the financial shortfall, see disillusioned support drain away, be relegated, replaced by a promoted club, and THEN to hear the drawbridge being hauled up.

Hmmm.

TBF Bongo, DB has signed some decent players so far,so i don't think he would be too perturbed now to only receive another million quid if we was granted SL next year.

Not really sure who else will be applying for SL next year. Can’t see Widnes doing so if the funding is only £1million

Leigh stand a very good chance. Some good signings being made thick and fast, I just hope DB isn’t gambling 100% and banking on that spot.

Christ knows what will happen over the next few months. Best of luck. Widnes are building a very good squad and feel confident of our chances in the championship next season

Cheers, Cokey. Not sure where Brown's gonna fit in though!



When JBoy last updated the list there were 16 confirmed signings. Mellor, Russell, Bell & Peteru have since been announced, taking the total to 20. However the website has Mellor down as the 21st signing.

Perhaps eagle-eyed Steve B has provided evidence that Andy Thornley has slipped through the announcement net. He shall have points.

Andy Thornley is in [url=https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/how-leighs-squad-is-shaping-up-for-2021[uTHIS[/u[/url list

Eight clubs WILL be applying,see love rl website for full details.

Think it says 8 clubs are eligible to apply.

The criteria is published today so we will see how many clubs will meet that.The we will see how many clubs want to have a go .

Time frame looks a bit tight if we want to sign players of SL standard unless it dont matter as p&r scrapped.

Has Duffy applied for Salford job ?

With the squad he's put together with his Scottish connections, =#FF0000[uI hope he's not.[/u

I wonder what ( Ian )Charlie Caroli thinks of our new recruitments? If you see this message Ian, I hope you're well.

The confirmed Squad For 2021 so far consists of 21 players.

Probably need another 3 or 4 players

Need some cover now in the backs and then ready to rock and roll (in whichever division we find ourselves)!

Wolfpack free agents...

Sonny Bill Williams
Chase Stanley
Josh McCrone
Ricky Leutele
Darcy Lussick
Tom Olbison
Andrew Dixon
Ryan Hall
Stevie Ward
Ben Flower
Paul Brearley

And we're rumoured to be after Flower?

Having said that; given the baggage Ryan Bailey came with and, of course, just how well Gaz Hock went for us, I remain open minded.

Wolfpack Free Agents:

Ryan Hall - Sydney Roosters
Stevie Ward - Leeds
Ben Flower - Wigan
Paul Brearley - Halifax reject

A bit misleading Deeeekos

Might need cover for Walker if rumours are true heard he been sacked

This still going ahead upto now just have wait for Wigan season to be over

Adam Walker appears to be a troubled individual. Leigh can't fix every bad boy in Rugby League.

Does anyone know the status of overseas players signed for Leigh 2021 season, and by virtue how many slots we have left? Is there a bonus for having the entire Scotland team signed up?
