Offered a 1 year contract by Cronulla. We have offered him a deal as well. Due to let the Sharks know by the end of the week whether he,s going back to them or staying in England next year.

Has he recovered from his injury yet. Seemed to be a recurring injury,probably better to release.

Seems a quandry this one, the lads obviously got talent but there's a injury cloud.

If Dan's a hooker then he has 4 other currently at Cronulla with Segeyaro being first choice, if hes a half then he has to get Chad Townsend, James Maloney and Jack Bird all established players with others already listed too. Gerard Beale has left but hes a wing/centre so maybe there are other departures not yet released, also Cooper Cronk is moving to a Sydney Based Club not yet stated?

Mitch Rein would be a good replacement is there is any truth in the rumour, I wish him good luck, Dan on whatever decision you make.

Staying.. Fantastic news! Real quality player, jesus hell of a team we'll have.

Well, there's something in the pipeline. Get in there

Do you really reckon we will be in SL in 2018?? struggle to see it TBH- but if so the squad being put together so far will be more than good enough to compete

Not 2018, but I reckon leigh have been told to prep for SL.

WOW! That is all.

you missed EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE off

That is class all over that Mortimer announcement, the lad is way way to good for Championship Rugby League.

We have a group of players here who all buying into a culture and vision for Leigh RLFC. Just one small step backward to take a giant leap forward. Up the comics !

Plenty happy people in Leigh after Mortimer news,facebook in meltdown

Brilliant news re Dan Mortimer. Having read his media release and his comment re "unfinished business" here at Leigh Centurions, he is showing exactly the attitude and commitment that the Club needs to move forward. Thank you Dan for staying at Leigh.

Well if Dan has turned Cronulla down to re-sign for us that's some statement for Leigh RLFC !
Who'd want to live in Sydney/Cronulla anyway, its a right 'dump'


It sure is some team we are putting together, well done Dan and, welcome back

Excellent news, Thank you Dan.



Reet, I'm off now to get mi ST.

What is happening with you seems to be the same as happened with us after relegation getting rid of all the deadwood and resigning the players you'd expect to lose you end up with a better side in the end against all odds

To me this is the biggest sign yet that something is very right within our club at the moment. When a player of Mortimer’s class and ability re-sign, a player who is already on the “inside”, then it is a sure sign of things being good at the heart of our club. Thanks Dan for showing your commitment. Very classy player, very classy statement.
“Unfinished business” should be our club motto for this coming season.

Think it's worth thanking everyone involved with all of the signings to date. From Derek to the input that Keiron Cunningham must be having. I really hope that Jukesy can prove a lot of us wrong, including myself and work with this class squad that is being provided. Well done everyone

Totally agree steve.

I was thinking exactly the same thing while driving to work, after reading about Dan Mortimer. After the MPG I was buoyed that DB stayed committed but wondered if Cunnigham and Jukes were the right people. Well it seems that the new players signed and the current players re-committing seem to think so, and DB certainly thinks so. Well done to all of them
