Key retention must be Ricky Leutele and Tom Amone. Jack Hughes is rumoured to be close to re-signing.

Keanan Brand is the longest serving member of the squad.
Ben Nakubuwai must be close to the end of his 9 lives as the LSV cat. Which would leave 2 quota spots and at least 2 starter spots to fill. With Umyla seamlessly filling the void left by Tom Briscoe. Top quality Centre and Loose forward must be top of Chezzy's list of things to do, after nailing Adrian Lam down to a new 2 year contract.

Was hoping someone would do a squad list like this, thanks.

https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ex ... l-kr-stars

"Leigh have five players they have decided against offering terms to for 2025 at this moment in time: Jacob Gannon, Ricky Leutele, Ed Chamberlain, Jack Darbyshire and Jacob Jones.

Leutele is a player bound to command interest if he head onto the open market – as will Chamberlain, who only recently spent time on loan at Hull FC before that deal was cut short."

Unless he is nursing injuries Ricky has at least another year in him at this level.

Rumour squashed - Super Matty Moylan, looks like a man who is enjoying his time in the UK. Plenty more Matt Moylan Man of the Match awards to collect this season.

Matt Shaw on the house of league podcast released yesterday said that he's heard whispers of interest from Leigh in Tesi Niu.

I’d be surprised if the Dolphins would let him go. He has a minor ankle issue right now but is always in contention for a spot in the starting 13.
However, if we could snag him, he can play wing, centre and fullback. Not the tallest player but a solid powerful runner, has speed off the mark and at full go. Would be great in SL and only 22 years old.

Rumours are that he may be available.

Potential Squad for 2025

Fullback – Gaz O’Brien, Darnell McIntosh, Keanan Brand
Wing – Josh Charnley, Umyla Hanley, Darnell McIntosh, Keanan Brand
Centre - ??
Half Back – Lachlan Lam, Matt Moylan, Ben McNamara
Props – Robbie Mulhern, Owen Trout, Dan Norman
Hooker – Edwin Ipape, Brad Dwyer, Ben McNamara
2nd Row – Kai O’Donnell, Jack Hughes, Frankie Halton
Loose – Matt Davis, Jack Hughes, Louis Brogan

With the possible further loss of Leutele and Amone, recruitment is likely to focus on two new overseas centres and two new forwards - likely to be a prop and a loose forward. Quality British centres are at a premium so expect southern hemisphere recruits and the same for both forward positions.

In addition, the squad needs to be strengthened all over, with more experience in squad numbers 18-24.

Briscoe, Hardaker, Asiata and Holmes would have taken a large chunk out of the salary cap and all are over 30 years old. I think there is a strong move towards a much younger squad, with the aim of reducing the number of players out injured. The 5-year plan will be to unearth a player of Umyla Hanley's quality every season.

Personally I would like Leigh to retain Leutele and Amone, but understand that they occupy overseas quota spots and a large chunk of salary cap.
