Now that Newcastle have pulled the fulltime contracts from a bunch of players, is there anyone we would want? Or want back? I think Ollie roberts could do a job for us, also Brad Gallagher. He lost his way under JK but I liked him in the academy and I’m sure Dunning & Beattie could get more out of him

Half back on loan for the rest of the year? Woulnt be massively suprised if it was someone like Jamie Ellis. Hes 4th choice now at York at best. Could do some sort of job for us for month.

Fully expect all the above to be wrong and it be a signing or 2 for next year being announced!!!

Jamie Ellis would be a perfect fit ( pardon the pun ) for your club , looks like he’s eaten Walker and crossley.

Brad Day
Alex Foster
Ellis Robson
Olli Roberts

Any of those could do a job.

Robson seems to have gone off the radar. Those few games he plyed for us when we restarted after covid he looked like he was destined for big things in SL. Not sure whsts happened there

My money is on a re signing of an existing player who will soon be out of contract

Re: Three new signings : Thu Aug 18, 2022 10:09 pm  

Seeing mention of Hitchcox (again) and now Iaone. Both would not fit the quota at Leigh next season (always assuming that things go to plan - not a given), both would add to your side and Bongser would be pleased to see them get another gig over here (and watch them on Bulls TV). Jy only made 5 appearances for Leigh this season (for reasons explained on another thread and then before the arrivals of Ferguson & Charnley) but notched a couple. Mark has made 19 solid appearances, not big, big minutes but, boy can he clatter an oppo!

Keep the momentum at Odsal this Sunday!

Would be wrong if that happened as the deadline has passed. Its self inflicted too with our main half getting himself suspended.

We have lost 2 Halfs to injury in Lilley and Jowitt so we may get round it that way. Dunning mentions potential HB signing in T and A today.
