No he was injured later in the season and patched up for the cup final and played clearly not fully fit, not sure if he played again during the season.

Just been confirmed on the 18th man page on facebook that were NOT signing Kelly and we have ended our interest in Sam Williams.

I just hope to god were not signing Wood instead.

Also Chessie has made a crypic comment on facebook saying its all coming together

Jamie Ellis is a name i've heard mentioned as heading this way.

Hasnt he just extended his deal though with the Giants.

He is though an improvement on Wood

its like we don't want to get better

Money needs spending on a top half back like Soward not Wood or Ellis...key position.

as soon as London can not get promoted(more than likely this weekend) we should be on phone to sowies manager Monday!!!

Think it was a case of if Huddersfield were to go down.

So ward already signed by Leigh. Will be announced on Sunday.

Ellis would be an improvement on Wood.

You are right Asmasada. It is a top quality half back that we need. According to Leigh fans they are signing everyone.

They have just made Drinkwater permanent and extended Ridyards contract. With Abdull and Soward if they get them that would be 4 halves in their squad.

Despite the plight they are in I like the halves that are at Salford in Dobbo, Lui and OBrien. Wane said at end of season he will be deciding on the fate of Hampshire. He is contracted so would need a fee. Player swap maybe?

Tell you what, lets assume for a moment you do actually live in Sydney

Why don't you send us a big fat cheque over to cover all the paying games you never actually attended - I promise you MC will spend that money wisely and we will have Johnathan Dean Thurston in the team before you know it

BOJ04 does have a point here.

We have done well this year to get into the top 8 and a semi final of the challenge cup.

However, you don't get anywhere in life by standing still.

If we were to pretty much roll with what we have now, in 2017, I think we will definately be in the middle 8s next year.

Leeds are now back on the up, though still nowhere near where they have been, and I think Tim Sheens could turn things around at Hull KR, and would expect them to do better in 2017.

Now, with a lot of the players having contracts extended earlier in the year, which have been warranted, I don't expect us making many signings, cover in the halves, full back and hooker, and ensuring Scruton and Anderson are properly replaced. What I would like to see is improvements, rather than just numbers in a squad.

For me, a half back to come in that is as good as, or better than what we have.
Maybe a utility player that can is maybe a half back, but can drop into hooker or full back.
Super league standard props to replace Anderson and Scruton.

Michael Carter did put a comment on Chessies facebook post last night, reminding us fans and keyboard coaches that there is a salary cap in place.

What I will say with the Salary Cap, and the 31 man squad we had at the start of the season, there is 4 that never pulled on a shirt during 2016. There could be, for me £100-125k worth of salary cap wasted. Did somebody mention a bit of culling earlier on this thread

Who is Ward?
