Powell has been there before with Hardaker, after the Grand Final fiasco in 2017 I can't see Powell going back there.

Leigh probably. They've got a press conference booked in that will 'make you go wow'. Apparantly.

Didn’t he leave Wigan because of the travelling? Leigh is the same distance…

The lure of playing for a new franchise was too much apparantly. That and a 'significant financial offer'. Does make you wonder how a guy who couldn't be up for playing for Wigan is going to be up for doing it for the Leopards. A leopard never changes his spots they always say.

Although they'll be striped black and white according to press release. Sounds more like a white tiger to me.

There will be a (oce)lot expected of Zac. No lion around doing nothing they will expect him to be tigerish in his efforts.

Hardaker is the RL equivalent of Elton John. Soon as he kicked the drugs he went crap.

Leigh could be a complete fiasco, or actually turn into something semi-decent. If they can get Ferguson, Hardaker, Lam and Leutele interested and playing well, they will actually have a decent team. Players like O’Brien, Holmes, Hughes, Mulhearn, Mellor, Charnley and Briscoe have all been about at the top level and won’t be intimidated.

The problem is, it’s a powder (no pun intended, Zak) keg. It could be derailed at any point.

We should prise Lam from them. Make him marquee and offer a stupid transfer fee. He's superb.
