According to reports in Aus St George are after Edwin for next year onwards as part of there rebuild under new coach Flanagan. I think Edwin has two years left on current deal, but if I was him I wouldn’t go anywhere near them. There board is a laughing stock at the moment and have been for a while, as they keep cocking up important decisions and there captain wants out ASAP. I hope the club can start announcing some retention of players soon as no news and hearing stories doesn’t help.

Out of contract players at the end of this year - Jacob Jones, Tom Nisbet, Ben Nakubuwai, Kai O’Donnell, Ben Reynolds, Aaron Smith, Nathan Wilde, Joe Wardle, Lachlan Lam.

Out of those, I'd say that only Kai and Lachlan would be difficult to replace. Not saying that others aren't worth keeping but letting them move on wouldn't weaken us significantly.

I think Ipape will be loyal to Leigh. Doubt he will going anywhere next season. It's all speculation and rumours.

Let us hope so. The PNG god that is Adrian Lam is (as stated passim) would prove the most important extension. Some others will then fall in step.

On Radio Manchester tonight, Adrian Lam said that no one is going anywhere. So forget all this media speculation. They're playing for Leigh.

I didn’t hear that interview. That is awesome to hear. I think Adrian Lam and the coaching team will be a huge reason why players will turn down so called “big club” interest and even NRL interest. Half our team labeled as rejects and/or “past their best”. He and the other coaches, has turned them back into what they always and still were, quality players who are enjoying their rugby.
I also believe that Derek will make sure that money does not become a stumbling block to keeping a player.
Committed and quality coaching staff, committed and passionate owner and last but not least, a quality human being who knows how to get the best out of his team.
Man it’s a good time to be a Leyther.

I hope you are all right in your comments. We need to keep most of this team together. St George or West Tigers, I would avoid like the plague. Just wish we could hear at least one who has been retained, as other clubs keep announcing signings.

Don't worry. Be happy.

Lammy in the GMR interview gave me the impression that all main players have been retained for next year !

sure it was just old mates talking in local well known coffee shop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFLOSbihFyM I found an old You Tube video on Edwin - One little nugget was that he wants his kids educated in England. Obviously he is unaware of the high standards of the local schools.

Maybe he should lower his expectations and have his kids educated wherever the guy/gal that said he would be "staring" in SL was educated?

Nice find, Sep, enjoyed it, thanks. Barring the tries, not seen it before. Bit of an hagiography but at least we'll have one Saint on our side in the semi. Salford first - eyes down look in!

A line across,up,down, corner to corner, or your four corner numbers................Don't forget, Your middle ones free.

Hope you hang onto him, he's quality.

The journalists spell his name correctly, the mistake “Impape” was in the thread title.

Oh, Reffy. That was Sep's lickle jape - at least Bongser thinks.

Yep, my cock up originally with the spelling. Apologies to Edwin and everyone else. I hope he takes it out on Salford on Sunday.

Turns out it’s a hooker in the Queensland cup called Impape StGeorge are after

Now it’s Asiata's turn to be linked with the nrl. Apparently three clubs interested, but none named only 2from NSW and 1 Queensland. The journos have had a go at Lochlan and Edwin, now John, who’s next. It’s good that they are being looked at as they are playing so well in this team, but it can be unsettling and could disrupt the team as we plan for semi final and play offs.

Wasn't Asiata hounded out of Stralia? Guess it's (as Basil Fawlty declaims in a certain infamous episode - the only one not bought by German Fernsehen) "All friends now eh!"

Leigh (under Lam) is the place to be.

Asiata will still be at Leigh next season. He doesn't appear to me as a bloke who would walk away from a club that gave him back his love for rugby when the Aussies didn't want him because he refused the jibberjabber. All paper talk clickbait.
