Not a chance of Signing Obst next year they will get rid of Drew before they let Obst go. Id keep Smith starting at 9 then use Robbie off the bench

Was thinking that Wakey may be offloading a few players as they have signed Newton, Tronc and Morrison up for next season! Maybe Bibey, Moore, Obst,Wilkes could be available?

Wilkes has gone to Harlequins

So my hunch was right! We were just a bit late making an offer.

Noo Drew will go before Obst IMO drew is also quouter which will make way for Tronc

We can't have Drew, our average age will up by 10 years!

i want Drew lol all i was saying is they will release Drew before they realese Obst. Drew would be a good signing for us a better player than Robbie Paul NOW

I'd like to see smith at 9 but didn't Robbie state in the press conference coming to Leigh was giving him a chance to get back in the Halves as 9 isn't his favorite position

Didnt see the press conference mate but Robbie isnt a full 80 minute player no more IMO. Bring him off the bench in he Roby effect then look at bringing a young 6 in like Wheeler. Or you could go for Kaye from Leeds play him as the impact hooker and move Robbie to 6

Watson is an 80 minute player and there's no way he's in any better physical condition than Wobbie IMO.

If Robbie plays 6 or 7, then I cannot see why he cant play 80 mins.

If he's the central pivot calling the shots, all he has to do is bloody pass!!

Saying that, I would take him out of the defensive line though!!

See Harris at Fev for proof of that - looks like he does nowt for 79 minutes but then comes up with a class play that wins games. Need a beefy prop or two to give RP that bit more protection though.

Bibey can look after himself - does ok on the pitch as well

Yea leigh / Quins no contest there





He's at Quins now playing back up to Randall!

Hes only on loan though isnt he??? and we will get betterproduction of Robbie off the bench in spells were he can inject pace rund the ruck. Watson is a diffrent kind of player hes a organizer and not a game breaker he wont do as much work as Paul would (even though he has had too this year to carry Donlan or whoever else has played 6)

Going off the press release, Robbie will be playing at halfback next year not hooker.



No Andy - that doesn't include you.

Do you really think 8 of the 17 that have virtually got us relegated are good enough to keep?

Nope! If we get rid of the lot and start again with better players we'll need a Saudi consortium to pay the wage bill! Just trying to get a stronger side together that the present players will aspire to lift their game to the level of some new signings! In all honesty, it boils down to pride in wearing the Leigh shirt. If the team did that then we wouldn't be in the predicament we are today!

Pride will only get you so far

To be honest I don't think that many of them are on big contract most play related I would guess

There are ways to clear people out without paying them up

I take your point PL but Id say there is zero chance of 8 of those players from this year making next years 17.

Which players would you include then Ste??

Possibly in the starting line up :-

Stuart Donlan
Chris Hill
Mick Nanyn

In the 17 possibly

Above 3 plus
James Taylor
Ian Mort

the rest would be in the squad if possible.
James Taylor

Good call Ste, except Mort.

Not convinced on defence yet pal, but willing to let him prove me wrong! Cost us at least two tries last weekend.

Agree with that. He may be good/OK in attack and a very good goalkicker but at times he is woeful in a defensive situation. The lad has a lot to learn to come anywhere near the standards of a certain Mr. Neil Turley! He needs to think and be more aware of the game in defence.
