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!

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, presumably all the contracts become null & void, if we get relegated?

I definitely agree there.

If Hansen signs, there will be sixteen forwards. (including three hookers) and ten backs. I reckon we do need another half back, as we only have two - if you include Mortimer as one of the hookers.
