Derek is a clown, some of the details into the deal and JA are really poor, he should have just said Hull offered him a longer and better deal, didn't need to mention injuries etc. Think Leigh are worried about the future TBH.

Reading those comments from Lam about his new contract, suggestion to be, something not quite right at Leigh

Also not sure what the big deal is announcing a signing now, have never announced a signing in May before? We have followed the rules, other clubs have announced players, Burgess, JWH, McMeeken, it's pretty common practise and I'm sure plenty of other teams will announce signings from other clubs in the next few weeks.

Dodd announced for Souths, has anyone asked Beaumont if that's allowed?

Joking aside, they will be looking for a 7 too, so hopefully get one signed soon.

I think there is a player in Dodd and still young enough to develop, think the NRL is his best chance, if Souths appoint the right coach.

Asiata is injured again. Out for 4 - 6 weeks. Looks like you won't be getting 3 years game time out of Asiata. £660K is a lot of money to pay someone to sit in the stands. But good luck to John, he's sorted out his family's future.

Why be so bitter? Players get better offers and move on, it happens.

Can't see Dodd cracking the NRL. Apparently Woolf tipped Bennet off about Dodd, no guessing who the new Souths coach is....

Holmes I'm OK with, better than we have, we need to fill our squad with a few experienced players who improve us and bring in 4 more very good quota players.

Unfortunately missed out on a few players because of the investment timing etc.

Sounds like Abdul staying at Catalans, think that's the right place for him to be.

Can't wait to hear Beaumont's strop about this.

Three signings from Leigh now plus a loanee. Adds fuel to the Lam rumour.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Sun May 05, 2024 8:45 am  

Reading the Lam article, I think he stays at Leigh
