New coach probably stopped the deal, not really surprised as think they already have a better fullback than Shaul at Wakey in Jowitt. Can't see him getting a SL contract now and our only chance would be to release him to a championship club with us paying most of his salary.

I suppose like others he gets a fresh start, can Smith do what no other coach has managed and get Shauls passing and decision making up to the level of other top fullbacks.

This world cup has proven off the cuff plays are the most dangerous to defend

Shaul is off the cuff

Connor no pace no defence any time a team broke the line was a try !

Don't think shaul will start full back as think hoy will

But hope shaul gets a proper chance to prove himself under Smith

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

Basically Derek likes Leopards

Shauls off the cuff style has gone, can't remember the last time he scored or set up a try like he did in 2017.

Their is a reason no SL club wants him, probably champion ship standard now, but wages are too high.

Just like no club wanted Jack walker hence why he's in the championship!

Absolutely, although that's more to do with injuries than ability.

Is this bloke a parody? He’s had some of the worst possible takes I’ve seen.

Shaul’s one asset was his pace/running game which he appears to have lost. Smith likes his teams to play with the ball. Shaul has proven time and time again he’s not a pivot.

Jack walker is a fantastic player and will be back in SL in no time. If he’s injury free walks into most SL sides

When I read the first couple of pages, I was convinced it was a wind up. Then it slowly dawned on me they were being serious.
The photo shopped players are brilliant.

I think David Brent wrote the presentation.
