Quote: Binosh "I’ve heard Sidlow is going to Salford reuniting with Rowley, hope that isn’t true and he re-signs with us. I’d like us to keep as many of this team as possible.
Aaron Smith is one I would be trying to sign aswell
Green, worth another year on the right money.
We have shown this year our strength by battering teams down the middle, Kai O’Donnell has been a big reason for that, if he does go I hope we think long and hard about his replacement, Ipape is at his most dangerous off the back of O’Donnell’s barn storming runs.
We also need a good quality fullback, if we can’t get French I hope we go for someone with out and out pace. Maybe someone like Tee Ritson.
Worst case go again with Inu because the man is quality!!
Nisbett/Robert’s and Jones would be squad players but resigned for me.
How long does a player need to live in the UK to qualify as a resident? Iaone has been here a while and there aren’t much better props out there that punch holes like him.'"
Sidlow states that he is ready to go another season, he never says who with - https://www.leighjournal.co.uk/news/206 ... enturions/
Aaron Smith out of contract would be a welcome addition, he has been with Leigh for some time now, and may want to stay.
Chris Green, only managed 1 and a bit games, I feel unable to comment either way.
Kai O'Donnell, Leigh's John Bateman would be on the wish list, but if his girlfriend is homesick, not a lot anybody can do to stop him. NRL surely beckons.
Bevan French looks set to go to Newcastle Knights - https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/rl ... land-role/ . It was audacious of Leigh but never really a goer.
Krisnan Inu - is a legend, but he originally signed with FC Lézignan XIII at the start of the season. This suggests a man winding down his career. Always entertaining to watch but I don't see him wanting another season in Super League.
Mark Ioane - How long does a player need to live in the UK to qualify as a resident? not applicable he still counts as non-fed but he could probably play for England in the World Cup.

He's in the list on the presentation. One year contract.

| Wow wasn’t expecting that. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I hope we can get our traditional colours in there some how. No surprises in the signing announcements apart from Hardacker as he wanted to be nearer home. Sad to see Aikens and Stone go, hopefully it was their decision to go.

| Couple of great signings and a really solid squad. No one likes a name change but see the marketing opportunities going forward especially for kids. Would like to red and white version of the kit. Excited to seem them run out together.

The only way that Lam can qualify is due to special dispensation by the RFL. Personally, I hope they grant him special dispensation as SL needs good players.

At last, some kind of emotion from the club about a player leaving. Go Well, Sam Stone (not against Leigh of course). The club should have waved all the players off who served the club in a very memorable season, especially Kristian Emu (as the announcer likes to call him).
