Where are the signings ? : Tue Oct 12, 2021 9:50 am  

I get that it is fairly soon after end of season & I also get that Leigh as a Club try to do signing announcements only when the ink is dry these days but, we appear to be getting left behind in the signing of a quality squad for 2022.

How many confirmed I forget ? 5 maybe ? & most rumoured to be gone or going, it's getting a little bit tense now !

We need to give Derek, sorry mean Chester time to settle in and identify the right player.

I believe our leader has been recouping his initial out lay since 2017 so I wouldn't expect much,we have a parachute payment and what he didn't spend last season,that's if it is spent on next season's squad

so i was right when i say its all about the money people will catch on its a business and we will have to accept the players who come in will be signed at the right price and a little bit of quality here and there and it will be once again the status quo

Chester has said he will stick to the budget & "run a tight ship" in an interview with Mike Latham on Centurions TV.

So no Super League challenging squad & no M.K investment maybe ?

Signing usual start getting announced before Christmas to coincide with season ticket launch. That has been the pattern over last few years. So probably get news around then. A few resigning news would be good but perhaps not many being retained this time round.

A fair few signings will be announced at the end of the week , I know a couple , as well as the new Coach , not for me to say , but Kurt won’t be him .

Writing off £1m of DR's is not recouping!

The club has been financially positive from 2017 onwards though

Well, I'm going for Danny Ward. I really hope that I am correct. He's the coach to lead us back to SL1 and keep us there. Chris Chester and Danny Ward. Excellent combination.
