Abdull wouldn't be able to cope with the work rate to play LF. In today's game LF is a much different role to the past.

I'm not sure its simply a case of the agent trying to up his deal at Leigh as there'd be better and more affective ways of doing that. To activate a clause and get into a contractual dispute is a pretty heavy situation to get in to just to upgrade a deal at a players current club. As the bad feeling and resentment it creates will affect the club as a whole. This is a totally different situation to that of his Dad.

I'm not sure we will be successful in getting him but stranger things have and do happen.

With any player in such a pivotal position there is always going the risk in the possibly they are drawn to the NRL if they have been in good form due to the monster that the NRL is and the money. That's an issue you'd have with any such player a la Clifford, so shouldn't be a negative as its either a younger player wanting to try and get a crack in the NRL or an aging player just wanting to top up theor retirement fund.

Not really. Hull could speak to his representatives, sound him out and make him an offer without leaking to the press that they’ve done so. How do we know it’s not his agent feeding those stories to the press? We don’t, I could be wrong but the HDM article especially has the hallmarks of the club feeding the info for me. The same with the Sailor ones last week and going back to the Rowley situation and how that broke. Short of announcing it on the official socials the club are as good as saying look at how ambitious we are. I’m not criticising that approach, I like been kept in the loop and the transparency but it’s open to criticism is those moves don’t come off.

Lam himself is on a marquee contract at Leigh, as the federation trained marquee player. Armstrong will be on decent money, but not sure it will be marquee money, or as much as Lam is on.

I think he just wants out. His job at Leigh next year could be more difficult than this year, without Asiata making him space and O'Donnell and Leutele running lines outside him. So a move will help build his reputation further and get his NRL deal.

Seems a bit of a coincidence that the same say the press announce Sailor chooses Saints over us, a story gets leaked to say we are after Lam.

Armstrong is and will be on mega money at Leigh. Believe the reporters is Aus were shocked at the amount of money Leigh offered and Newcastle simply did not or could not compete with it

more likely to sign larry the lamb

Anyone else take Matty English for next year?

Clearly Myler is changing the guard for next year. Can't be easy after the past years. Doing his best to get deals over the line.

Lachlan Lam
Maiko Sivo
Matty English
Tim Lafai
AJ Towse

These would be some good solid signings!

Those 5 would see us challenge the top 6, would be some message can't see it though.

Think Lafai is the one, we might get, probably Towse too.

Heard a while ago that towse had signed , don’t know a lot about him though .

I might really be clutching at straws and stretching imagination a bit but I did wonder if us taking King was a bit of a smoothener to a possible Lafai deal.
Granted I know we need players right now, but Salford clearly wanted King off their quota so they could make a play for Nikorima. The cynic in me wonders if Myler offered to take King to curry favour slightly, but yet while still providing us with another big body that we do need right now.

Also, I could be chatting the biggest load of

Is this your wish list mate or who we are meant to have signed/signing?
