Some people changing their tune from the Challenge Cup game earlier in the season, when Cory was nothing but a thug who would be playing in the Championship next season. Well you all got one thing right, he will be in the Championship next season but with Leigh!
In all seriousness, I have known about this deal since around July which is the time when Cory and his family has major visa issues. Koukash wouldn't give him the financial help he needed but Derek Beaumont did. He agreed to sign for Leigh from that point on. His agent advised him to stay with Salford, as he knew Tim Sheens was coming on board but a three-year-contract was too good for him to turn down at his age.
He is a very good player, who has been one of our better performers at times this season. An earlier comment about him going missing at times is fair, but he can also highly influence games too. I think his record this season is 21 apps and 10 tries, not a bad return from a forward. I expect him to steam roll the Championship next season.
Next signing to be announced, Reni Maitua.
