I imagine that there are two elements to this. First being we probably only offered a 2 year deal. Second being Hull know that they will be in SL for the forseeable, we'll have to wait until the end of October to know if we'll be in SL next season.

Balls

Can't blame him for wanting 3 years on big money at 31yrs old. Good old IMG. Wonder if we will lose anymore to guaranteed SL teams. I can see Hanley moving to 13 at some stage. Maybe that's how the club see it too. He's strong, elusive and will bulk out more yet.

As a Hull fan this obviously proves the rumours that big investment is coming to the club. He is a statement signing for sure. However, it also proves the mis-management of the cap that we currently have, with Tuimavave rumoured to be on a similar salary currently and with him leaving at the end of the year, we get Asiata on similar money

Great statement of intent and sure to make other captures easier to get over the line. Wonder if Myler has rung two wingers in France yet?

Both centres offerred for sale. Amone to Souths. cant see Hanley int pack big leap to do that

In the future when he'sbulked out, I can see Hanley at 13. Maybe Brogan in the future. Haven't seen him play but I've heard he's an excellent ball playing forward and a Leigh lad. Should imagine we will get an experienced 13 for 2025. I'm confident with Lammy staying and DB, the squad will only get stronger. Exciting times ahead for Leigh.

Anyone heard anything about Mulhern, we’d have to agree the sale, contract until 2026, so would hope he’d be a sure in for next season

Good post that.

There are comments above expressing doubt as to whether we will be definitely be a Superleague club in 2025. There is a video on YouTube in which Derek explains that following his work on the gradings, Leigh will be the eighth Grade A club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cPlin5uClM&t=2s

Well it’s the clubs fault in my opinion, we have 20+ players off contract this year and 2 of which were in the 2023 dream team, top clubs renew contracts all year round ala Wigan/Saints even KR and don’t just wait until May every year. Just another unprofessional example of our club, very much like losing Paul Johnson as S&C.

Unfortunately modern day contracts tend to be dictated by the merry go round of agents testing the water at this time of year and players certainly have the right to have a look around (Salford fans must have been having kittens last few days with the Rowley, sneyd and Brierly rumours).Am I sad he is leaving, yes ,am I worried that our captain is leaving to play for a rival not as much if he was 25 years old .The NRL may come calling for a couple more we can't do much about that , what we do need is Adrian to sign and I believe that will give us a lift and positive news of new and re-signings will follow

The more I think about it, £660k is a massive amount to risk for a player with John's recent injury problems and age. If he plays plenty of games then it will be a great signing for FC, but I'm happy that Leigh aren't exposed to this level of risk.

Good luck John and thank you for these last three seasons. You've been immense and you all brought me to tears of blissful joy at Wembley. You may forever be my favourite ever Leigh player.
