Exempt as long as he plays for Leigh, Widnes had a couple after Crusaders went tits up on the same exclusion

Only for the duration of the original contract they signed with the Crusaders. The exemption ceased at the end of that period and they then counted on the quota. Burr is now quota as his contract was null and void when we got relegated. Had we stayed up he would have had a year exemption because his original deal with the Bulls was for 2 years.

That's right Charlie, Torontos coach and half there team have no experience in the champ
Also, not privy to Torontos signings but reckon they will strengthen big style

As Mo rightly puts it ,they have NO experience in how to get out of the Championship,I sure Richard Marshall, and the Coaches of a few other Championship Clubs have experience in the Championship, but none about getting out,as for strengthening,I don't think we will have to much to worry about,by Toronto or Toulouse recruitment plans.

Struggle to see, other than salary, why McNally wouldn't be kept on. Good enough for SL (just because we got relegated doesn't make all of um a failure), and would be a try machine in the champ backing up some of our recent signings.

Col,apperently McNally has already been informed he is surplus to requirements for next season,and I never said he was a failure,though I don't think he is a SL player,I agree again he would score plenty of tries in the Championship,but it seems Jukesy or KC have no plans for him.

I'd rather have a new car,than a banger that costs more.

Got too look at it like this.... Of the ones left too retain who do we actually want too keep? People keep chucking riddys name out there but he wouldn't of made any difference last year... We missed pace not organisation... Drinky was good last year but didn't have the ability too keep the defence honest neither did Reynolds.. Pains me too say it but ridyard isn't a necessity.. Depending on the rest of the recruitment I personally would run with Mortimer at 7 and Reynolds at 6.. Mortimer has the little yard and step that we so desperately lacked last year.. I do think we will see at least one other half back coming in... McNally has too stay for me.. So vital in attack for us he's a third halfback on the field and directs well at full back.. Same with Harrison Hansen he is a leader.. Blood sweat and broken bones he gets us there and deserves another year... After watching him highams interview he has got another year left.. Get hood re signed and have Micky/hood interchanging.. things are looking brilliant we can't be too soft but a few of these lads need to be resigned for me!

Re: Probable Ins and Outs : Fri Oct 20, 2017 11:53 pm  

With what we have confirmed and who we still have potentially, I would run Reynolds at 7, Riddy at 6, and Mortimer/Higham at 9. I would also retain McNally for fullback and keep HH. I would also like to see Brown retained for centre/fullback. I understand that not all may stay for reasons I don't know about, but on pure playing ability/potential thats how I'd go.

Would be stupid to run Higham again..

We need a leader to help gel the new players and instill the work ethic on and off the field. Mickey Higham can more than do a job on the field next year and will instill the right culture off the field.
Lots of quality new blood but we need a player in their that bleeds Leigh Centurions !

Micky a 50/50 at the moment only time will tell but to be honest we got 3 hookers for next season already so it’s hard to see where he will fit in. As for riddy it’s testimonial year for him and believe he was offered ten grand less cause he would make it back up on his testimonial and I’m sure that’s not how it’s meant to work like that but I’m not the one offering these contracts
