What about using Leutele as a replacement for ODonnell on the left side back row ala Watkins at Salford, certainly big enough and strong enough and can run the right lines.

Re: Planning for next season : Mon Aug 19, 2024 4:32 am  
Thanks Cokey for this. Good spot.

Interesting that this signing, if it comes off, was first rumoured around 6 months ago.

It might just suggest that the anticipated new signings for next year are already done deals and are just waiting for official announcement by the club or for 'outing' by the usual press outlets as they get wind of the stories.

Either way, after all the disappointment of the news of the players leaving for next year we can all begin to get excited by more positive news like this as replacements become known.

It also backs up Lam's previous pronouncements that new signings will be younger and faster than the players being replaced. The indications are that we could be even more exciting to watch next year than we are this, which would be quite something given how good we have been, at times, this and last season.

If true then thank you to Ricky for being an outstanding player for us. I've watched Niu a couple of times and there's improvement to be made defensively but he's still young and he's very quick. Would be a great signing as we have a good track record of improving players, I know if I was a young player I'd be signing for Lam and Co.

Regarding next year, I'd be getting the players in slightly earlier with a full S&C set up in place. Feel we couldn't do this during last pre season and it's cost us injuries and points at the beginning of the year. Exciting times ahead but still all to play for this year aswell. Good times to be a Leigh fan.

I think the biggest issue with the S&C setup last winter was the turnaround in non-playing staff. Went into pre season without and S&C coach, and it cost us big time.
