Leigh will some good signings, but an absolute basket case of an owner, shocking rebrand (has to be a wind up surley), going to be entertaining to watch, but think it will only go one way.

The age of that squad, especially the backline would be a concern.

Strange one that Dave Wakey were really keen on keeping him at the end of last season and they are certainly light on players I wondered if they were gong for Walker but obviously not. I sincerely hope we aren't hanging out for a fee. For if Jake doesn't warrant one then Shaul certainly doesn't. We need that cap space to beef up the forwards. Perhaps Wakey were not offering enough against what he is getting or maybe he is due a Benefit soon and thinks he'd be better placed doing that at the FC. perhaps Trim have signed Hardacker. whatever the reasons he's certainly surplus to requirements with our current in coming players.

He (Shaul) was demanding too much money from Wakey

Some reports is Aus, suggesting Brooks will stay at Wests, does that mean we don't get Clifford?

Surley we haven't messed this up?

Newcastle still have Clune, Mann, Crossland, Gamble as options for 23. I'd heard that they were moving Ponga to 6 too...

Plenty of straw clutching though

Have you ever seen a club issue a press release saying that they are in negotiations with a player?

It's only October. If we've not signed a half back by Christmas then yes lets worry until then I'm calm aside from getting wound up by the chaos in government.

Yeah point taken but its come to a lot when only the Tories make us look good, Christ, to even suggest as some are, to bring back a man whose integrity was exposed on numerous occasions as being at best questionable, and at worst corrupt, makes me shudder at what this country's governance has become, surely the worst we have ever had. And I grew up under Thatcher.

They were also rumoured to be in for Jake Turpin from the Broncos, so I am sure we will get our man,which one though is anyone's guess, although Gamble, from what I've seen is never a half. He's a fierce competitor and very much a mongrel type of player, but I don't think he'll be in front of Clifford in their pecking order.

The Aussie press saying he’s been granted a release to sign for us and Dan Tomlinson is pretty confident he’s signing too.

We know how the club like their Friday night announcements so here’s hoping.

All the press releases I've seen says his release depends on Brooks signing.

Fingers crossed its soon.

I've just looked at the Leigh PPT, the main reasons given for the change are unbelievable.

Basically Derek likes Leopards
