Can’t see that be8ng for this season maybe a next season signing

wouldn't rule out more than 1 incoming in the next 6/7 weeks.....very exciting times to be a Leyther

They are currently claiming an “exclusive” from a high level source at Fev, that Macca going is baseless.
The most news worthy part of the article is the “exclusive” claim
I do think we may see another signing though. Lam and DB (if I remember rightly) have said we are still searching for the right player(s) if they are available.
I would love a quality halfback, but would view it as a safety net and not an essential. For me Mellor and Reynolds are the best pairing in the Champ, I just worry about injury at the wrong time. Ben Reynolds is playing his best ever rugby at Leigh right now.

Did anyone see Lam jnr playing Halfback for PNG at the weekend? He was outstanding.Two tries,two assists,a good all round performance.Currently not getting a game in OZ,he would be the one for me.

Newshy, funny you should say that. These have been my thoughts as well. I just wonder whether there is more mileage in this one. He looks useful and, lets face it, is used to playing at a significantly higher standard in the NRL, when picked.

On potential signings for next season, I see that Jacob Miller at Wakey is out of contract at the end of this season and has indicated, reportedly, that he may well not be re-signing for Wakey although planning to stay in the UK where his family are happily settled.

I rate Miller and he was certainly rated highly enough by the Pies last year for them to have a dabble at signing him. I just wonder whether Chester might just have his feelers out. It would not surprise me.

Lam was great in the PNG game and is a quality halfback for sure. I’d be surprised if the Roosters let him go long term as he is a near future star, but I have wondered if we could get him here for the rest of the season on some kind of short term deal. He would be dynamite in the Champ and behind our pack.

Miller is a quality player also but I have not seen enough of him this season to say for sure but trust your judgement. (we see way more NRL here in Canada than SL unfortunately, and the SL I have seen has not shown Wakey if I remember rightly).

I for one would love Leigh to sign Lachlan Lam. Lam Snr (Adrian) did rubbish this earlier in the season as a non starter. Maybe Lachlan has his heart set on a 1st choice spot in NRL or doesn't fancy the big city lights & tropical weather of Leigh, who knows ? Only his Dad would have any positive influence on whether Lachlan might try his luck over here.

As mentioned on the player retention thread, I have just finished the last of three interviews of Derek by the Dock House Rugby Show guys. In the third he mentions that he/we are still open to signing another player, should the right one be available and willing. He does not mention names, position etc, and is very confident and complimentary of the squad Chester and Lam have put together. He is clear though, that we are still actively looking for the right player.

The next one will send the ripples through SL again... Leythers mean business....

I won’t ask who because you would have said if you could/would BUT is it for this season Ste ?
(Starved of good or any Leyther rumours in my world).

i would be amazed if not revealed by friday evening and for the rest of this season.... and hopefully beyond.....

Ste, there's a character in Laurie Lee's "Cider with Rosie" who is described as "the sort of person that hands out knowledge in very small packages".

Supposed to be Bevan French lol
