Kyle Lovett is the name I’m hearing

That's a lot of mobile back rowers if so

He's a singer isn't he?

He also plays for west tigers if he no good at least he can do pubs and clubs instead

Listen to his song, This Love is Mine, not a bad singer and guitarist.

We didn’t sign a marquee player when we were in SL, so why would Derek sign one for the Championship. He’s quoted earlier today that he’s found it tough convincing players to sign for a championship club and fans shouldn’t expect too much when it comes to signing players.

My bet is that we are announcing the re-signing of Hansen or Pellisier.

Was said HH would sign early November but seems strange announcing him when DB an the coach are down under

Must be a player from the Samoan World Cup team, Derek facebooked that "it was great to meet Peter Mata'utia and our new signing today" where else would Peter be at the moment....with his Samoan team mates !

Thought he said late November/early December?

Possibly they are after a player who could become a marquee player..

I think people should remember we're a championship team that only had 1 season in superleague in the last 12 years so to get players of marquee quality would take some doing especially with the salary cap going up in Aussie,for Derek and the coaching team to get the players we've already got has probably took a hell of lot persuading so to get the marquee player every fan wants would probably be near impossible or the club would have to pay well over the odds,so who ever the club signs let's get behind them and give the new players a chance.When the club signed Stewart everyone raved about what a signing he was but he turned out pretty average didn't he

Well put Gunner, that just about sums up our situation, DB can only sell the club and himself on the ambition he has and the learning curve he has been on, even to his most staunch supporter he didn't get it right last time, he has to sell it to prospects that they are the future.
His two year plan in SL may very well have been to consolidate continuity in his first season with the Dads Army approach then jettison them for younger blood, who knows - albeit I am sure someone on here wil advise us, but yes I am with you it will have taken a lot of hard work to entice the players he already has.
PS if as you say Glenn Stewart turned out pretty average then I think that would have been a bonus, he was far worse than that, especially for the reported money he was earning.

Thing is Harry fans just look at names they know not what they could produce to help the team,the team from last season failed at the end of the day and got relegated also a lot of the players are not getting any younger from that team so I can understand on the wholesale changes,I know alots been said about certain players being released but Cunningham's come in and in his opinion they were not stepping up to the mark and because he's no emotional attachment to these players its black and white to him the're either right or wrong to take the team forward

Kyle Lovett has definitely signed for Leigh, I would be incredibly surprised if his signing is not officially announced later. Comfortable at hooker / centre or second row.

However Derek does go off spec with the announced running order occasionally
