Doesn't really matter if he gets us back up, having some of last years squad on longer contracts didn't help us at all

I see Ryan Hampshire has signed for Wakefield. Good luck to him, and congratulations on getting a spot with his home town club. I really hope he is able to prove everyone wrong, and succeed in SL.

He might actually 'smile' now....miserable sod !

Very happy with this.
Nice call Monty.
1 year contract doesn't worry me. He will want to shine to ensure a best offer next season (be it from NRL or hopefully us in SL). This guy will spark the attack from the play the ball and it releases Mortimer to play in the halfs' where he will be killer at champ level.

My personal opinion of most of the overseas players this season are using leigh as a stepping stone in their career to get better things but I’m happy with them to do this as long it gets us back in the SL players come and go that’s the game we are in.

Spot on, pretty much everyone we have signed will be hungry and looking to prove a point to someone in some way. That will do nothing but bring enthusiasm and competitiveness to the squad.
Whether they stay at Leigh or not remains to be seen, but whilst here they will be giving there all - and not just the quota players

Spot on col just hope everyone is on the same page as us it’s exciting times if you ask me and we will take some beating I hope we have a good cup run and test against the best in SL and the players decide to stay when we get promoted again

Leigh are currently 33/1 on Betfair for the Challenge Cup.

Had to read that one twice! I thought I read "33/1 on" (i.e.1/33)

50/1 at skybet

Well iv'e had a cock n hen @ 50/1. It'll pay for a good trip to Wembley.

Can see Mortimer staying at hooker, Baptiste at loose forward and Hutchinson scrum half. (first choice)
