| For me , replacing Asiata will have more of an impact than replacing Lam.
Moylan will undoubtedly go back into the halfback role with support from McNamara and O Brien worst case, providing he does go and we don’t replace
Although neither have set the world alight when playing halfback , sometimes all you need is someone to get you around the park and they have the ability to do that.

| Quote: LeythIg "With top 6 looking an increasingly distant possibility, at what point should team selections have more of a reflection on next year's plans?
For example, if we're signing David Armstrong, should Moylan move to 6 now, with McIntosh at full back, allowing Moylan and Lam to link up with a pacy full back behind them? Are the club bringing in two new centres, or planning to promote (e.g. Brand) or move someone (e.g. Hanley) that is already in? If the latter, why not make that switch now? Should everything go through Asiata when he's back, if we don't have a similar 13 coming in?
We've only managed to win 2 games in a row once this season anyway, so not even much to lose.'"
If Hanley and McIntosh carry on playing like Friday, they’ll have the 2 and 3 shirts next year. They’ll make mistakes but they look much more threatening than we did with Hardaker there.

| I’d love to see Ricky have another year and help develop the younger players.
Bailey / Hanley will learn heaps off him and he goes about his business more or less every week and never really gets the plaudits.
It’s no suprise on how well Lam has played with the master back at 13 - it’s just ridiculous how good Asiata is and will go down as one of the best ever to don the Leigh colours. Although best years have past , Hull have an absolute pearler of a player.

| "Youth, Speed, X factor." If Hanley and McIntosh are anything to go by, I can't wait to see Armstrong and Hodgson. Leigh have seldom had a backline blessed with real pace.

| Just in case you can't see past the pay-wall
“We’re currently in talks. I’m constantly talking with Chezzy (director of rugby Chris Chester) and the club,” said ex-Samoa international Leutele.
“The good thing is the club want me and I want to stay so we’ve just got to work out the finer details of it all and hopefully get it over the line some time soon.”

It seems strange that there's been no response to this, regarding some posters, who seemed keen on challenging me in not wanting a winger, and saying it wasn't a priority when i posted a suggestion regarding Ravalawa.

I still think we need a prop, second row and loose forward more than we need a winger

Totally agree Leythig. We need to replace Tom Amone, Kai O’Donnell and John Asiata who are widely regarded as the best in their position in Super league. If the five year plan is to improve the squad year on year then we need replacements of a quality likely take up quota and significant cap before splashing out on a winger.

You was meant to respond to the Leopards interest on the Sivo post.

I was agreeing with the point made by Leythig that there are higher priorities in building the squad than a winger who would take up a quota spot. It is unlikely that any current non quota players of sufficient quality are available to replace Tom Amone, Kai O’Donnell and John Asiata.
The challenge of replacing the above trio with matching quality is probably going to take up our remaining quota and I do not think there is a quota spot available to sign a winger.
