I said recently that if McNally's wife was indeed this ill, the right thing for the club to do was release him and not start trying to get compensation as one or two on here were suggesting. The club has now done that and well done to them. Absolutely the right thing to do and the right noises made in the statement that some things come before the game, the sport or the club. Hopefully it's a help to Gregg and his family and all the best to them for fighting the illness and recovering as best is possible.

They still need a lot more players imo. That squad is nowhere near big enough and dual reg can only help so much. It's also risky to rely on dr players because there's no guarantee that they'll be available week in week out.
It's a long season and this is a very tough league, I don't think Leigh will make the top 5. I think it's a building process for them now, just like it is for us really. Aim to finish as high as possible and just go from there. Boom and bust is a fool's game.

Their backs look decent but their forwards look mid championship level at very best and a 20 man squad is not going to cut it. They are probably at least 7 players away from even thinking about top 5.

As we all know dual reg and loans are all very well until they’re recalled. We had a slim possibility of staying up in 2017 but that was utterly scuppered at Easter when we had all our dual reg and loanees recalled. We never recovered.

I think Leigh will surprise a few early on in the season but the lack of depth will be their undoing. Mid table at best I think but given how bleak things looked a couple of months back that isn’t bad at all.

Signing announced by Leigh today. A lot of good things said about Andrew Chalmers, John Kear & Stuart Duffy, by Gregg and John Duffy. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2019/01/1 ... g-mcnally/

If we (leigh)finish in the top half of the league then that is a very good season considering were we were a couple of months ago and if we're very lucky with injuries we could finish in the top 5 but I would be surprised,but u never know just like who thought London would go Toronto in million pound game and win..its sport and anything's possible
P.S good luck to yourselves this year because a strong Bradford is good for rugby and ur supporters deserve to be at the top table the way u've backed the team these last couple of years
