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

Is the 2 year contract standard now? Are they not adding "with a further option" anymore ?

Exactly and KCs correct in taking that approach emotional ties or not, this is a professional game therefore there should be no place for sentiment, the evidence is before our eyes we simply were not of the required quality to compete at SL level, no good moaning about injuries suspensions etc all teams go through that but all don't get relegated.

Hansen and Tickle in my opinion are being held on should we not aquire the right numbers, they have been very good for the club but like everything in life in all manner of things they get to approching their sell by date and have to be replaced, I would sooner remember them for being the players they were.

It may just be a small technical issue with young Harrison's advisers that is currently holding up an official club announcement. Not sure of the full details.

I am however 99.9% confident that Harrison Hanson will be a Leigh RLFC player in 2018.

All well and good signing what appear to be quality players.. One of the major issues last season was the coach, he had no clue, it was some of the most predictable/boring rugby around..

Yet he is still at the helm, pointless giving him all these players if he can't manage/coach them.

I doubt it was all down to the players last season, 1 dimensional straight down the middle rugby is easily countered, you could have the entire Austrlian team starting and unless you give them the gameplan, the moves to run through, the strategy to compete they will look poor.

The trouble with KC is we have seen more of the 'emotional players ' than he has and some of the team selections following his arrival did not produce the desired effect! Dropping McNally for the MPG was poor and unjustified even though Hampshire had a decent game, Gregg always played with emotion and he knew exactly what the game meant to Leigh!

Where all the doubters of me now Harold

To play expansive rugby,you need the players who can do it,often through pace.We where very limited in all departments a continuation of all eggs in one basket to get to SL. To be honest the relegation is turning into a blessing in disguise.

Well done monty! Another one to you.

By the way, didn't you mention a PROP signing this week? That seems to be about the only position Kyle hasn't played!
