Hopefully it’s all and nothing but I hear that family reasons he wants a return but this will only happen once a replacement is sought.
Came from the same person who told me Reynolds was going Fev and Blake going back home , for which I posted on here and was cast a doom monger but both turned out correct.
Hope it’s 3rd time unlucky

Thanks LC - that is very interesting. We will see what pans out.

I have faith in our Coaching/Management team, and what pans out will be for the better for the club. IMO.

I think that we all do Cokey. They haven't got much wrong at all in the past 2 years.

Yep of course, so we shouldn't be too perturbed or concerned about any departures. That's all i meant really.

With the new ruling being mentioned for players in the NSW/QLD cup this will open a massive pool of talent.
Although we will still have the quota rule to abide to (which is a farce when we want to grow the club game )
I just find it difficult to understand at times that we want to grow the game as a spectacle but hindering the quality on the pitch. Have a grace of a few years , grow the game , get people and kids back interested and slowly reinforce the rule.
I don’t want a 13 full of Aussies and Kiwis forever and a day but the brand is growing and it seems the ST sales at most clubs is growing. It’s the perfect time to showcase how good Rugby League is

I think McNamara will claim this spot, especially if he can stand up on defence as well.

Yes, The Mirror article pretty much duplicates what had been said a month ago in this interview in the Journal https://www.leighjournal.co.uk/sport/le ... launchpad/

Smith off to Barrow now confirmed.

Not really impressed when he feels he’s 50/50 on the hooker position.. But time will tell.

No mention of that in the more recent mirror article. Quite the opposite in fact.
“I’m really happy to do that role for the team and put my best foot forward in it.”
22, athletic and has Lam senior in his corner.
Do for me,
(and will not be left too long if not working)

Well obviously a more national news paper takes advantage over the towns paper..Keep trying VL..

Trying what exactly !?
What are you finding funny ?
I’m simply stating that the mirror article that is linked in this thread, does not state “50/50” and quote what it is saying, which is very different”.
I’m not sure how you think I’m supposed to see the “towns paper” unless you think the Vancouver Journal runs stories about Leigh Leopards.
Bottom line, I believe McNamara will be the alternate 9 in the 17 game day team. I also think he will go well stake his claim.

Can't say I recall seeing him play last season but on the hull forum last season majority were saying the young lads future will be at hooker not half back so I,ll trust their opinions until we get a good look at him .
