Chester was quoted in League Weekly on Monday as saying Allgood is on course to return to the squad for the second round of the middle 8. He is lifting weights & doing strength work on his shoulder, he has some markers to hit before he can do contact work but is expected on the training field next week.

Also said that Puletua could yet remain with Rovers in 2016, Chester is going to have a chat with him about delaying his retirement. Sounded like Chester is going to try to talk him into it he said he believes he is fit enough to do another year if his heart is in it.

All of which suggests that Allgood has not been de-registered and that somehow Puletua does not count on the quota or non fed.

Would be good to get Mitch back for the 8's, I'd feel a lot better with him, Tony P, Walker, Green and Greenwood as props. Plus Tony P can go 2nd row as well.

I'd keep Puletua for 2016 if possible.

puletua been good for you

I agree, he has certainly been one of our better forwards in the short time he has been here, in fact he's got better with each game imo.

Back against Leigh according to the Wail. Massive boost if true. Our best prop on his day and one of the best in the comp IMO.

The only worry I'd have with Allgood against Leigh is his discipline. The lad has a short fuse and Leigh are renown for dirty play. Saying that, that might be what we need.

That's exactly what we've missed! Even walker seems to have lost his mean streak.

Leigh aren't a dirty team, we were targeted and don't back down as a group. The majority of bans were handed to our opponents and didn't have the issues playing SL opposition who should be better than us

Let me just stop you there, you employ Gareth Hock, end of story.

They're just misunderstood, reckon they've got ADHD and are from a deprived upbringing

Assuming you have been to Leigh you will know there is no other type available.

The celery incident in 2003 was the last time that lot saw veg.

Demonstrating yet again that I know knack-all!

It did occur to me that the 8s might count as new season and re-registering might be possible.

But if Allgood did come back, we'd have 8 non-fed by my count (fwiw - not much, clearly):
Sio, Allgood, Kelly, Mantellato, Blair, Tilse, Chisholm and Puletua.

I wonder if TP got a discretionary 'messed about by Koucash' exemption. Could be owt frankly.

You obviously spend your life reading fantasy novels and watching a RL team who kiss and caress the opposition into submission. Gareth Hock has assumed the persona of a fluffy white rabbit in your gaga world. Didn't your chairman claim earlier that Gareth Hock was unnecessarily victimised and misunderstood? Well clearly he never saw that issue coming when he entered your last chance saloon.

You support a skilful team who play in a cocky yet edgy way. If you get into SL, which is a possibility, your team will collectively need to remove their heads out-of their s. If not you will be registering your kit man to make up the numbers as you will have so many of your team serving suspensions or injured in the fights they consistently provoke.

How many Leigh games have you watched to form this opinion?
