I agree with those three but not Chamberlain,Holmes,Hardaker or Briscoe
What Leigh are good at is bringing in some top class players from overseas
Armstrong will set S/L alight and Pene who is already here is getting big raps
Their Chairman may not be to everyones taste but you have to admire what they have done in S/L

Let's see who they replace them with, they have also brought in Dywer, McNamara and Mcintosh, so not exactly all perfect recruitment.

They need about 8 or so signings which isn't easy.

King Vuniyayaywa on his way, hope it’s not for next year as well.

Yep

If short term good, long term bad.

jesus, better only be for this year. He's non fed isn't he?

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed Jul 17, 2024 4:29 pm  

Yes he is, only sounds like this year, no harm in the signing, if he is rubbish, he fits right in, needs a new contract so puts him in the shop window.

At least we haven't given up on the season.

Adds size to the pack which we need. There's nothing to suggest it's more than a loan signing.

Maybe he'll do well, who knows?

As others have said he’s a big body in a position we are seriously lacking size currently with the release of Pele & injury to Ashworth & Staveley.
As long as it’s only an interim signing until the end of the season with no chance of 2025 I’m fine with it, if its with a view to 2025 then it will be concerning.

I feel more like short term bad, long term very bad

He's not great and we're desperate, but I'd rather keep going with Laidlaw, Gardiner etc than bring him in

Agreed and I don’t particularly rate either of those two.

What I've seen of him a bit hit and miss but hey let's see how he goes. Certainly adds size and at the moment better than Gardiner and Laidlaw
