Wouldn't be surprised to see a small portion of the Ferres money go toward him. Ellis out and Brough carrying a knock.
Would be a welcome addition to the Giants I'd of thought.

thought he was a dead cert signing for leeds?

So we were told by those in the know



personally will be relieved if we don't sign him, would prefer to give the young lads we have currently have the shirt.

No NEWS yet, just a 'Sky Sources' rumour for now. Will imagine he'll leave at the end of the season, rather than in 4 weeks !

!We've already signed him twice allegedly, we might as well sign him a third time in a couple of weeks.

...and then have him play for other teams for the rest of his career.

Which will probably be Whitehaven!....out of arms way.

He's got potential, but that's all it is. Suppose Saints might be interested, they're lacking pace in the halves. As a Leeds fan, I'd be disappointed if we signed him.

Thought this thread would be about the contract extension Wires gave to Wheeler for this season ....

Sounds a bit like wishful thinking there Budgie. He's not in the 19 man squad, I reckon he has probably played his last game for Leigh. I am actually expecting that not to be the end of the bad news, but heres hoping I am wrong.

He's off to Leeds supposedly...

Wow. No wonder people are leaving Leigh with management like that.

Well said

"The club will not be commenting further on this" Followed by " the statement continues", followed by "the statement adds", followed by "the statement concludes".

Good lord - that statement is extremely crass.

It's a weird statement but at least they are keeping fans in the loop.

It's so obviously written by an angry, red faced man trying hard to talk about everyone in the third person. It reads like he was going for a kind of telegram style but he hasn't really pulled it off.

It's a bizarre and unprofessional statement. If I were a member of the Leigh board of directors I'd be embarrassed to have that statement attributed to me.

Or Vicky Pollard.

I can't see Leeds signing him. Wakefield, Cas or Hull kr maybe.

What I don't understand, with sporting contracts, is whether there is a differentiation between the players right to resign from their current employer (with a stated notice period) and the clubs hold on that player regarding their player registration.

So perhaps a player can just resign, but a club is unlikely to release their registration until they are either compensated to do so, or the original duration of the player's contract ends.

Don't the RFL have to approve any changes in registrations anyway?
Are Leigh players all full professional players or are some part time? Just thinking if Ryan's original contract was a part time based contract then it could be possible to have a notice period in there I suppose- if further changes have been "extensions" and the original contract not changed.

Leigh are nothing more than a Sunday pub side playing semi pro rugby but paying SL salaries to their players
That club statement is a complete and utter joke and whoever made it should be made to apologise for divulging this information for the public to view

Leigh seem like a club that is akin to North Korea in that it loves to flex it's muscles every now and again without actually getting anywhere above where it is presently
