Two year deal I've heard.

The power board won’t let him go.

If TS wants him to stay, that’s good enough for me.
Hopefully get him a bit of help next season.

Wait until SKD signs on for next year

I’ve heard the same , few years to late if true .

A little surprised to be honest, his form has dipped this year.

As ever we don't know the whole story, injuries/contracts etc but fully agree him & Satae have been doing the heavy lifting for too long, hopefully they get some new buddies to share the workload.

TS approved, so he must think it is the right thing to do,

Obviously TS sees something in Ligi Sao when dealing with him every day on training so I’ll back his judgement.
Admittedly his discipline has been and is an issue but how much of it is caused through frustration? On Sunday he was up there as one of the top performers and from the kick off he was aggressive in a controlled manner and took it to Huddersfield. I would imagine his attitude in and around the club snd in training will likely be a factor to his extension along with the limited pool of quality that’s available.
Hopefully with some good recruitment with some quality signings in certain areas will also help bring out better from Sao.

Unfortunately I think the Takairangi ship has sailed.

Uncle Tony would like to take Kai O'Donnell from Leigh. If we have any sense, you've no chance.

Smart timing from the club, not 100% sure on Sao, good player on his day, but not let himself down with his discipline. Depends on who else we bring in.

SKD is a good player, not sure we need a centre though, would seem a waste of a quota spot.

Played well against us, but that isn't saying too much this season.

What is he like Cokey, what are his strengths?

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Thu Apr 27, 2023 11:35 pm  

I'd rather sign Linnett than SKD

He's been one of Leighs best this season. Can see him ending up at Wigan if he moves, even though he's an aussie Wane has dangled an England call up.
