Jeez let's give the lads a chance

A two year deal for a player who cant get into Leighs first team

"Oliver brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our back-row options in 2025. He’s been one of the most consistent performers in his position

How can he say he has been consistent when he doesnt play
No logic and no ambition in these latest signings

Thought it was odd we had no quotes from Holmes and Chamberlain in the press release. Beaumont has thrown another wobbler and denied Hull access. Bloke is pathetic

So using your logic.

Walker can't into our side, is he not very either?

[exturl][/exturl]Whilst these signings aren't overly exciting, we have to put it in context that we are starting again, almost like a newly promoted team.
Everyone was critical of Leigh signing these players last year but they were exactly what they needed at the time. We are currently in the same boat.
We have a lot of young inexperienced players coming through so hopefully these signings will provide the balance and maturity we need to stabilise the team next season. Although I do feel the length of contract to be too long in some cases. I hoping these signings are cheap due to quality we have coming in from the NRL.
The team is already stronger for next season and that is all we can hope for and that every season we continue to build.
We have to judge the strength and depth of the squad only when our recruitment is complete.
These players whilst old and slow are also experienced winners and hopefully a small part of the jigsaw.

Along with Cust I'd guess we'd bring 2 or 3 more in. All need to be quality signings.

He obviously means consistent over his 10+ year career. He's unfortunately been injured this season, but has been consistently selected for Leigh, and every club he's been at when fit.

Will once you start using the correct punctuation.

I just missed out the word good, now is Walker any good or not, as he can't get into the 11th placed team?

You would think that would be obvious wouldn't you.
