I didn't realise Bradford had money to throw away on a has been like Mathers! We got about 2 games, a big hole in our salary budget and a load of bad publicity from him! One of the all time rubbish signings for London, and God knows we've had a few!

Leigh sign Lee Smith on a 2 year deal. Their salary cap must be more elastic than Dereks slacks.

Leaving aside sc issues. What I find most depressing about that is we needed a full back to replace our departed quality full back and weve needed a scrum half for 8 months. Our solution to these critical positions was to give a trial to an unknown 7 then release him and sign a retired full back. Leigh get a long term injury to their quality full back and go and get a sl proven current full back.

Our recruitment for assembling a squad as a whole is, IMHO, poor (in terms of competing against sl sides in the 8's, not the 23 game preseason) even though we have signed some good players, it seems a scatter gun approach, id have prefered going for less players of a higher calibre in the positions we needed to replace.
Leigh deserve their favourite tag at the moment despite Rowleys departure.

Never know, Gareth O'Brien could finally sign for us. Played out of position at Salford and had a shocker tonight

According to this report, published in the Leigh Observer, Lows says he is still after a couple of signings. http://www.leighobserver.co.uk/sport/le ... -1-7711201

Maybe Smith's valuation of himself was far higher than what Lowes or that of Radford at Hull thought he was worth, Wakefield having experiencing him turning down our offers on two different occasions despite giving him the opportunity to get back in SL both times.

Think most people, both inside and outside the club, know what we need. Unfortunately we are not in the same position as Leigh with regards to resolving it.
