Who was the centre Leigh wanted to bring but couldn't do to not having any overseas spots? Armstrong?

Maybe we should sound them out for rest if this season?

Really intrigued to see who the coach is, a quality coach would get a tune out of any player, world class or not, no team has a squad of world class players,

Like previous comments have mentioned, 5/6 more quality signings and a ‘changing of the guard’ is what really matters, yes we will overpay to get players, but the right coach maybe able to get a tune out of some of the players that we have now,

Looking forward to how Trueman and Charles link up, would like to see a change at 9 though this weekend, maybe move Smith to 9 and use Balmforth from the bench

Sounds to me like lam is about our 3rd or 4th choice if he comes. Ive never been convinced he's any good after he failed at wigan but he got a tune out of leigh last year although I do wonder how much of that was down to lachlan

Anyone else heard the Hardaker rumour? Hoping it's not true, but he is OOC at the end of the year and Hull is easier to get to from Pontefract than Leigh when you can't drive...

we dont need another fullback,id love lachlan lam ,hardaker no.

A lot
Also add Ipape,Asiata,Amone
Plus two decent centres

So is Dwyer, but would throw myself off the humber bridge if we signed him again.

I don't see what Milner offers that we don't already have at 9 or 13.

Whilst I'm not advocating signing him, he has played most of the last 2 years or so (maybe longer) at centre.

Ability wise he is better than we have, not sure he is the right type of signing we need though.

Yes.

Surley the club wouldn't be stupid enough to sign Hardaker, for all the talk of improving the culture signing him would be an enormous step in the wrong direction. He's still a decent player but I'd rather we swerved that.

Hardaker needs a lift off Briscoe to get to training

Had a text saying "Hardaker done deal" sent to me over the weekend. I'm hoping it's a mix up with Oli Holmes....

I think he's cooked now ability wise, not to mention his off field record. Can't talk about improving the culture and bring that flog in

Solid defender is Zak and gives 110%, put apart from grunt his attack is shocking - in all his time at Leigh I can barely remember him setting up his winger

Your taking quite a risk with Asiata, who is class when he’s on the field, in Zak you get solid but unspectacular

We're craving for solid and unspectacular tbf

Is every player a risk?

Played 28 games last season
32 the year before.

OK he has an injury now which has kept him out for most the season, but what players hasn't missed a few games with injury. His history suggests he has a pretty good injury record.

Ipapa has played two games this year, would he be a risky signing too?
