| Quote: BullCharge "Purtell's defence is questionable, but he's an experienced player, and has put Williams in for plenty of tries this season with some decent passes.
I'm fairly happy with our back-line for next season, as it stands. Team chemistry is important and constantly signing new players every season and letting others go like a revolving door isn't something I'm a fan off. Keeping the same players in those positions will make the team more cohesive.'"
I agree... Leigh have proven what a settled/consistent side can achieve.

| In the new scheme of a smaller but better squad Purtell will be at worst a good squad player who could slot in easily if the no1 centres are injured, at best a no1 centre. and therefore ensuring genuine competition for that place. it is going to be interesting to see who goes and who stays, I will put up the 2016 squad topic in the not too distant future.

| We've currently got 25 signed until 2016 and 17 [if I've got it right..] leaving just Caro, Henry, Baile, Mat Ryan, Ryan Shaw, and Chev who are up to the end of the year. To be honest, 25 is already a reasonable squad in terms of numbers, though I guess we could all see where it might want 'bolstering' a litttle...
Of those still unsigned, I can only see, maybe Caro, Matty Ryan and maybe Adam Henry being offered extensions. Assuming we're staying in this division, we can do without the better props, though I feel a half is as much of a must as it can be. That though takes us to 29, which isn't much under Steve Ferres' desired lower number for next year. Still also feel there is always the possibility of losing the odd player to SL, [offer we couldn't refuse, can't deny him the right to better himself, can't keep a man who's heart isn't in it, etc etc] but that is life in the lower divisions, as we all know, and of course, it would keep our squad down.....

| If we stay in this division for 2016 then we have learned that we need to have the best pack and we can't afford to go short handed, unless all hope of promotion is abandoned. The issue is not whether you need props in the division, but what you need come Super 8s time. If you have a pack to beat the others then you have a chance of sorts at least. But if you don't have the better props then basically you are just wasting your season for no apparent reason. If there's one thing we have learned it must be that.

I feel like Jay Zee, I got 99 players but a scrum half aint one.
WTF do we go from here?'"
OK, just to folllow on from this post, Purtell was truly outstanding today. Won the battle with Chase when he went to 6 and Chase tried to get into him. Nice hands and led by example. A real Captains knock.

Agree 100%. Certainly answered some critics! Did anyone see the winning song in the changing rooms via Twitter? Was class!!

Don't do Twitter - what was the song. Is it repeatable!! Been wondering if we needed a song like Cas have. Suggestions anybody?

| I think a few of ours will be offered around to others teams and if they want to sign then released from their 2nd year with us, we don't need any hangers on next season no matter where we are

It was confirmed last week Scott Wheeldon and Ryan Bailey are being released, whether that fits what you heard?
