Feeling a little more positive since the announcement of Lam, however looking at the squad list I feel we are a long way short on forwards & need to also add a 2nd specialist Hooker.



Most Super League & top Championship clubs running a squad of around 28 to 32 in previous seasons.

Looking at that squad we should just about make the play-offs assuming that those when announced will be the top 6, unless there is going to be another 6 or 7 first choice player's that will walk into the team we are lacking in quality to match other teams, there are more than enough squad player's if Mr Beaumont's ambition for Leigh to be in SL in '23 he had better start aiming higher with his coaches and letting them get some quality recruitment going.

If you listen to Mr Beaumont on ltv he indicates more signings to come now and pre play offs.He also said a number of contracts run until the end of this month and that we are sorting visas out.for younger players who can stay on with us for next year.



I have not seen any signings by other clubs that we should be frightened of ? Surely the full time teams will dominate in the end.



By the time you return from your latest holiday the dressing room likely be a bit busier.

Gerrard will be one we need to maintain. Good prop who makes good yards. Not sure what the delay is there.



I keep hearing Hampshire and Gelling but me personally would prefer a couple of good pack men or a clever 13, but would not surprise me seeing Hingano or Reynolds at LF

a bit of noise about sam burgess and david fifita comin in that would be great

That’s more like it, could be a decent squad if we can add a few of this quality

Which Fifita do you mean?



If you think it's Wakefield I can only assume you are high on crack, I think we need to know.



Possibly the most deluded post ever.

My god, there are two of you!
