Mamo caught the eye on his arrival but the real spark was signing Ridyard on loan. Losing him also made our results stutter again

Our struggle for form has coincided with an ever changing spine

Correct and has mirrored the decline in Danny Broughs form this year which can only be described as patchy

Fire sale now on at Salford

we already have one from salford.

dont expect anymore from them , expect maybe two more to come in thats all.

remember we had a full pre season with a brierley and brough half back partnership... that was a waste, also had gaskell filling in at full back.. should be alot more prepared for the start of 2018

Pre season will be disrupted by the World Cup this year

yep same for every club i suppose.

the world cup players will have abit of a longer rest than the others not involved but be back in soon enough to get the work in

You can expect Niall Evalds

hmm decent player, young and english

but full back... behind mamo... we have gaskell and rankin that can fill in that role too.. evalds can play wing too, will see...one for future if true

Evalds is a class act but in the wrong position ,a lot better at full back than on the wing.It's a half back we need to replace Brough and for me Robert Lui fits the bill

Robert Lui is a good player but is not an organiser and does not really have much of a kicking game. He would be ok playing with Brough but certainly would not be a suitable replacement

Just a quick word on Jamie Eliis.

I believe he actually lives around the Leeds/Wakefield area.

With Williams departure back to Australia, I think we are in the market for a half back to provide cover/competition for Miller and Finn, especially as the latter is getting no younger

there you go then, might be interested in going to you

wont be replacing brough next season will we as hes here till the end of 2018.

Any more news on Ridyard? Will he still be with Leigh next year?

My wife is a Hull KR fan and we watch both teams when they dont clash and have seen a few of his games.

I dont mind him, but think there are better than him around, but he wont take up a quota spot and wont have as big a salary round his neck.

One thing I did notice about him, he regular kicks the ball into open space, turning the full back and wingers around, which, despite our good season is something we struggle to do.
