The squad is shaping up really nicely and we look to have strength in depth. In an ideal world I guess I'd like another big prop and a centre but other than that we have made some useful signings. It will be interesting to see how Marshall handles a big squad as the last time he had so many players at his disposal it was a bit of a disaster.

Using DR would be a smack in the face to our reserve lads and every player at Fax.

Is there still a possibility of signing Will Maher permanently, as he loved it at Fax and don't think he'll ever become a 1st team Cas player. And will Baldwinson cut it at Wakey?

How did we afford to take Leighs top earner? Is it possible that they're still paying part of his wages in order to get him off their books?

I thought Acton was their biggest earner. I'm probably wrong but I thought that Larroyer stuck to his guns to ensure that he got what contract money he was owed. Can't blame him, especially after what happened to him at HKR

He’s made some poor choices on where to go recently, let’s hope that if we do sign him thanks improved this time.

I would presume that is the case.

Could be jumping the gun a bit Pete, talk in Leigh is Fax haven't signed Larroyer yet.

He might have been our top earner of the half dozen who still haven't been reported to have left. Think of the guys who left for SL clubs, during the season - Hall, Dawson-Jones, Crooks, Matautia, Reynolds, Bodene Thompson, Hansen, Jordan Thompson. Plus Evans, Hutchison, Mortimer, Hood. I would think all of them were on more than Larroyer. Mind you, I reckon he gave better value than many of them!

Where is Acton? Is he still at Leigh on his big contract?

Im talking of the ones still on contract. Evans and Larroyer's wages were crippling the club. They needed to offload them ASAP. Think this is great business from the club if he actually is part funded by Leigh as I believe.

You are right Norman, there's no chance of Larroyer staying at Leigh, we need to unload his contract, the sooner the better, I'm not sure what he's on though.I've heard once his and Evans monies are sorted we will announce Duffy as coach and about 10 -15 new signings, a few of them ex Leigh players.

For me I can't see Larroyer interesting any SL Clubs, but he would be a very good signing for Fax.

Leigh wont be paying his wages, he will have accepted a severance cash sum which is subsidising his Halifax wage.

Larroyer hadn't signed as of Thursday night. I asked RM directly at the Starman Dinner. He said it was still ongoing.
