Will we still be looking for another prop? Gone very quiet on that front

I'd expect a mid-season signing on the Prop front, unless we try to get Bullock from Salford.

I imagine getting Cross and possibly Sneyd over the line will be the current priority.

Could we just not pay Sao off if we wanted a quota player?

If there is a lack of available domestic players for 2026,
i can see quota players who immediately become off~quota, be in high demand.

Bower now implying Leigh are the front runners to get Sneyd

Lam, Sneyd, Ipape and Armstrong will be one hell of spine for Leigh.

As said a couple of days ago, I'm ok not signing Sneyd, something didn't feel quite right and had a Fonua type feel about it.

Gives Balmforth a chance to show us what he can do and earn a new deal.

OK with Cust and Seizer, but any injury and we are in trouble, as both have had issues in the past, not confident with those two playing most of the season.

Could keep an eye on the market and see if anyone comes up, but not easy without a quota spot.

Was hoping we would make a play for Pryce, but nothing reported anywhere.

Loved Sneyd at Hull but he would be an expensive short term signing. Get cross onboard and give cust shirt.

If Morgue hasn’t signed for rovers yet, I’d try hijack that by getting him in now.

1. Rapana/ Moy
2. Briscoe/Martin
3. Cross/ chamberlain
4. Hardaker/litten
5. Barron/ Martin
6. Cust/Moy/Kemp
7. Sezer/Charles
8 ese’ese/ Ashworth
9. Borough/Balmforth
10. Sao/ Aydin
11. Cartwright/ Holmes
12. Lane/ Staveley
13. Asiata/ Fash

14. Ashworth/salabio
15. Balmforth/Moy
16. Aydin/ Fash
17. Holmes/ Staveley

My gut says our 17 looks something like this with a rough back up for each position.


Definitely weak in front row and definitely a risk with Cust till we’ve seen if we’re getting Wigan or Salford cust. It’s an improvement on last year and a nice reliance on youth.

Feel the same to be honest Dave re Sneyd, it very rarely pans out well when going back particularly after doing well first time around. As you say it's not going to be easy to find a quality half at this time of year and thats non quota.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Wed Jan 15, 2025 2:44 pm  

But do agree it would be a cracking signing for Leigh and one that puts them in the too 6 again.

Moy and Martin are going to busy in that second team
