He played in the first Leeds home game and Warrington away (the one with the Burgess/Myler spat).

The day of the Wire game we announced Asiata had signed and three days later Leigh recalled Chamberlain.

You should ask yourself that question
My opinion regarding Chamberlain is he is just an average player who comes with a versatile tag.
Never in a million years is he a half back so we are likely to see him as a first choice centre which is hardly ambitious.
When we signed Sutcliffe i also said he was a poor signing yet the same posters on here hailed him to be a good signing but we now see just how poor he is.
To have signed Chamberlain for what is now 3.5 years is a joke

Him being brought in as a first choice centre is you getting carried away. He'll be a replacement for Scott.

so who are likely to be the first choice centres?

Hardaker and a quota centre that hasn't been signed yet.

Thought he played two?

He's certainly not the answer to our prayers at centre, but an uplift on Scott and arguably Sutcliffe. He steps in at 6 (apparently) so may even have the ability to play his winger in!

Don't know enough to make a statement on him generally, but the length of contract suggests they see him as a member of the 17

Rightly or wrongly.

My only fear is that Leigh have let him go amidst a play-off fight.

He has a decent turn of pace too for those who are saying we are signing plodders and will have the slowest back line in the league.

Sounds a bit tedious. You do it if you want though

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue Jul 16, 2024 5:45 pm  

Joe Bullock gone on loan from Warrington to Salford. We could have done with him at the moment.

Wire fans think it a bit odd considering he signed a 2 year deal. Probably something to do with Yates joining early.
