I would think that Mr Beaumont will expect Leigh not only to be in the playoffs, but top or at least second.
He got taken for a ride last season with Leigh being promoted to be fall guys in SL last season, as they were.
Expectations will be high in their part of the world.

If he didn't see that coming I'd like to play poker with him...regularly

Slow day today. Only one out Gwaze to Halifax as expected.

Shame that, I liked him. He seemed to like getting stuck into people for fun.

The Club email this morning says 20 now signed, and a few more close to announcement! so I don't expect many a say now, and we are still in October.

Can we expect a name change anytime soon to Wakefield Broncos?

Don't flatter yourself.

Pitts is a product of our academy and played his first two seasons of SL with us.

Eddie Battye is. a Sheffield product.

So that leaves Sid as the sole London produced player on our books.

So by your logic, we should be calling ourselves Wakefield Broncos/Saints/Wigan/Hull/Saints/Rhinos/Sharks/Knights/Tigers/Widnes/Trinity because we also have one player from each of those clubs on our books. Please feel free to ignore the 14 Wakefield Academy players in the first team.

I wish Sid all the best. Cannot blame him going to Super League to play full time .
I would however say that our ex players, by and large, do not have too much success at Wakefield.

Really, Eddie Battye is well respected and Alex Walker was like but just not up to it. I can't recall us signing any others, please don't include Pitts, he's Wakefield born and bread and by his own admission should never have left us.

Love it how Wakefield rate it as Scooping Sadiq Adebiyi, the vultures are out! even Leneghan to fans chuffed with his 2 London Broncos players signed, they never say for FREE!

How many clubs have ever payed us a fee for signing our players!

IF next we are going to produce our own Young Players & develop them, when the vultures from the North swoop, we will never get a penny to invest!

That's press talk, stop playing the fool.

Nobody at Wakefield has ever heard of him, he's a total punt. I give him a 50% chance of ever playing a game and a 5% chance of making it. I'll put it in a way you might understand, we have sold over 1000 replica shirts so far, none have the name SID emblazoned on the back of them.

You also need to engage your brain. Your club has effectively made all its players redundant, why on earth would anyone be expected to pay a fee, are you for real

Just another northerner with no sense of humour.

Considering we have 20 odd signed, that's still 8 or so to announce. Why the delay??
