We know we are getting 4 so who do we think they are?

I'll go for the same 3 from Wire but who will be the Saint???

Well a little birdie told me its defo 2 from wire ( one the same ) and 2 from saints

Well I do not know who they will be but my view is our pack is good so I would opt for a winger and a centre and a half back and if they have no pace lets not bother.

Journal said 3 from wire plus one from saints, I reckon only one player the same as last year, maybe 2

i don't agree, wouldnt mind at least 1 forward. we had a few forwards injured last year and had no go forward when they were missing!

not to sure on the half back either, i would like to see paul and ridyard play all year, if we have an injury duffy can step in.

agree with the wingers/centres - if we get one we need them to be quick!!!

Who's the most likely of the dual lads to come back, Blythe?

Maybe, but only if we learn to pass to his side of the field

Paul won't play all the games next year!

I reckon Blythe will be back again and one of either Mitchell or McCarthey. From Saints i have no idea but would like to see us looking at somebody like Tom Armstrong (centre/winger) or Dean Gaskell (half back) both very good players but not likely to see much gametime at saints this season with the likes of Lomax/Foster/Wheeler ahead of them in the pecking order. Both quick too!

If we do get Blythe back, need maybe a young half back, winger and someone in the pack.
With some young exciting talent (hopefully) and the team Ian is building things are looking good

Dont think he will go for a half back , the position is to important for a dual and will need to be a certain regular. IMO

Please not McCarthy.

That be the pack that included Emmitt & Mitchell for most of the season?



Duals can work out either way, do you go for top quality and risk losing them? Or less quality but more likely to stick around? Leigh got it right / got lucky? Last season and fair play.

Out of wire lads i'd expect you to get Blythe back as seemed furthest away from the 1st team. What about that Rhys Williams? Winger who scored for Wales last week?

Agree with that, he was bobbins.

I'd have Blythe or Mitchell but I think he's too old now. Centre, Winger, Half back/Hooker and Loose Forward if I had a choice.

Nope, that would be the pack that included emmitt maybe half of the time and Mitchell hardly at all for the 2nd half of the season. Leigh didn't get 'lucky' last season. We didn't get hit as badly as widnes but apart from Blythe we didn't really see any of them regularly.

They seemed to qualify for the playoffs alright

Rhys Williams, please. I'd rather we didn't sign anybody called Dean Gaskell, either

Well some interesting points and it surprises me that you watch as many Leigh games as I do. I can't recall chatting to you at one of our reserve team games either. Whatever what do you think of the ones who will make the step up to our first team this coming season ?

This guy is looking very good. I reckon he'll overtake Blythe and won't be far behind challenging to get into the Wire squad.

I feel we need cover in the halves though, even if it is a youngster. Neither of the reserve halves at Warrington or Saints really appeal though.

We do need cover in the halves, but dual contracts aren't the solution to that for the reasons stated on here many times before (different calls at each club etc though I don't believe for a minute it'll take long to learn our set move(s)

)

Anthony Nicholson & Adam Jones impressed me the most and should make the break through this season

Pownall ? Keep your eye on him he is a prospect and a half.

Pownall and Nicholson both same age. I reckon Nicholson will break through this year and do well, Pownall probably year after, but that's probably more to do with their positions than anything else.

Decent

because pace is everything isnt it



Misili Manu.... remember him?
