On the playing field or off it?

Over on the other board, someone is saying Gareth Thomas will be at Wigan next year, anyone else heard this?

It was posted on here a few weeks back but laughed off. This would be the most ridiculous signing ever. Why are we being linked with these sh*t players? Epalahame Lauaki & Gareth Thomas? We are current Champions, top of the league, in the CC final, none of these players would improve us.

I would take Leon Pryce and play him at centre any day. But not at 6.

Fisher
Thomas
Ferres
Lauaki

Are we having a laugh?

Shocking list of players OOC. Most of them should be in the championship. The number of super league teams needs reducing without doubt.

Makes me wonder if these stories are more to do with their agents trying to attract publicity for them.

sorry, first i'd seen

Only joking. Good find though mate.

Been and holiday and just seen this. Thank you assistant for filling in for me.

So who's Batman and who's Robin?

Bateman played for Bradford against us and the Robins beat Stains 24-22.

Not that it was likely anyway, but Ryan Bailey signed a new 2 year deal with Leeds last year.

But they forgot to announce it at the time!

Leon Pryce to Catalans confirmed.

Just seen MattyB's thread on the main page. Doh!

so at the moment next year we could be looking at

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Joel Tomkins
4. George Carmont
5. Pat Richards
6. Brett Finch
7. Joe Mellor
8. Lee Mossop
9. Tommy Leuluai
10. Jeff Lima
11. Gareth Hock
12. Harrison Hansen
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. Liam Farrell
15. Paul Prescott
16. Stuart Fielden
17. Mike McIllorum

18. Chris Tuson
19. Eamon O'Carroll
20. Gill Dudson
21. Dom Crosby
22. Jack Hughes
23. Darrell Goulding
24. Amos Roberts
25. Ryan King
26. Sam Powell
27. Logan Tomkins
28. Stefan Marsh

and a couple of other young lads. From that team I like the stability we are keeping, Hock back in the second row and playing with carmont and richards should make us still effective down that side.

I would be tempted to bring in one more prop, we are going to have quite a bit of cap space left with hoffman,deacon and coley all leaving. If we sign a second rower there is also the possibility of moving hock up to prop permanantly. I'm definately confident ahead of next year a major key to success is stability and we seem to have that at the moment.

Gotta think Amos Roberts will be leaving too, that gives us the cap space from Hoffman, Deacon, Coley and Roberts to invest in new contracts for the younger lads and look at signing a centre to allow Joel to go back into 2nd row and allow Hock to move to prop.

I believe he's now FULLY recovered from his 2nd knee operation, and has performed well in the U20's, scoring four tries in three games. I would certainly look to keep him if he starts running around like he did fourteen months ago.

He is still under contract at Wigan next year. Who do you think will match his deal at Wigan?

Yes, it's his last of a four year deal.

If Deacon retires the priority has to be a HB imo. Mellor hasnt even had a first team game yet and it would be a massive risk to throw him straight in next season.

I see potential in Kyle Amor at Wakefield, thoughts?

Looking good catalans back line next season.

He's been Leeds best prop this year.
