Maybe as in maybe he signed a new 3 year deal with Leigh yesterday?

Indeed. Thread finished

Yes, he has signed a new deal.

One name that the Leigh fans also want to keep, but are very doubtful of doing so, as they feel, he is super league standard, is Daniel Mortimer.

Still nothing confirmed on his future.

At 28, 138 NRL games under his belt and a former NRL rookie of the year, they probably have a point.

A bit younger than Finny, but one with a wealth of experience, could he be worth a punt.

Not seen much of him play in the halves when I've seen Leigh this year, only at hooker.

Waste of our final quota spot. Go with a British halfback like Ackroyd or someone else as back up as Miller and Finn are clearly first choice and try find a game changing prop from down under. Then next year when Finn is a year older reassess and use a quota spot potentially on a scrum half.

I do see your point there Jakey, but as good as Ackroyd is, the question is, is he ready potentially for the super league stage, should one of Miller or Finn pick up an injury in pre season, or an early round. We were without Miller for 2 months, if that were to happen, say week 1 of super league, we could really struggle and end up playing catch up

Id go with Jakey and go young and British as a back up - That`s on the basis we are also quite blessed that we have 2 hookers that can also play in the halves quite competently as well.

Seriously, if we 'took a punt' on every player you suggest on here, our squad would be bigger than our supporter base!!!!

If you don’t play the youngsters on a regular basis and I don’t mean one game every ten, or when the game as gone, then we will never know will we.

I haven't actually suggested that many to be fair.

The ones I mentioned the other week, and Pauli Pauli, were names I had heard at work and in the chippy.

FWIW, I am relatively happy with the squad we have, my only additions, I would particularly go with is like for like replacements of the players we have lost/losing.

We started 2016 with 3 established halves, and 6 out and out established props.

As it stands, we have 2 halves and 4 established props. Baldwinson for me, replaces Molloy and Horo is a bonus.

We have also lost Gibson in the backs from last years squad, but happy with the backs we have.

I agree there, BLM, if they don't get the game time, we will never know whether or not they are ready.

If Ackryoyd looks ready, he needs some proper game time in the pre season friendlies, not just coming on for the last 10 minutes or so.

On the subject of this, really surprised Jordy didn't get much of a look in this year

Smashing it in pre season doesn’t guarantee it neither.

Hopefully the promising juniors that we have will get more game time because they will be coming into a team on the front foot and not a team scrambling for SL survival.

Who's smashing it Crowther or Ackroyd, just wondering?

Anyone in a shirt Vasty, if those two are privileged to wear one it also includes them.
