I can understand 1 player being suckered to go to Batley but 2!!! I suppose there is safety in numbers.

The scramble for players is like a game of musical chairs...in 2022 we have 26 chairs but when the RFL stops the tunes, there'll only be 20 seats.....pro players have to do what's right for them and batley are a safer bet than London.

Really, we currently have a squad of 9 players, but yes 4 new signings have been announced in the last 10 days or so.

Admittedly a slow start by Leigh but I’ve every confidence 20 odd players will be added in short order. Leigh will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.

I would think that Mr Beaumont will expect Leigh not only to be in the playoffs, but top or at least second.
He got taken for a ride last season with Leigh being promoted to be fall guys in SL last season, as they were.
Expectations will be high in their part of the world.

If he didn't see that coming I'd like to play poker with him...regularly

Slow day today. Only one out Gwaze to Halifax as expected.

Shame that, I liked him. He seemed to like getting stuck into people for fun.

The Club email this morning says 20 now signed, and a few more close to announcement! so I don't expect many a say now, and we are still in October.

Don't flatter yourself.

Pitts is a product of our academy and played his first two seasons of SL with us.

Eddie Battye is. a Sheffield product.

So that leaves Sid as the sole London produced player on our books.

So by your logic, we should be calling ourselves Wakefield Broncos/Saints/Wigan/Hull/Saints/Rhinos/Sharks/Knights/Tigers/Widnes/Trinity because we also have one player from each of those clubs on our books. Please feel free to ignore the 14 Wakefield Academy players in the first team.

Really, Eddie Battye is well respected and Alex Walker was like but just not up to it. I can't recall us signing any others, please don't include Pitts, he's Wakefield born and bread and by his own admission should never have left us.

That's press talk, stop playing the fool.

Nobody at Wakefield has ever heard of him, he's a total punt. I give him a 50% chance of ever playing a game and a 5% chance of making it. I'll put it in a way you might understand, we have sold over 1000 replica shirts so far, none have the name SID emblazoned on the back of them.

You also need to engage your brain. Your club has effectively made all its players redundant, why on earth would anyone be expected to pay a fee, are you for real

Considering we have 20 odd signed, that's still 8 or so to announce. Why the delay??
