Just a quick word on Jamie Eliis.

I believe he actually lives around the Leeds/Wakefield area.

With Williams departure back to Australia, I think we are in the market for a half back to provide cover/competition for Miller and Finn, especially as the latter is getting no younger

there you go then, might be interested in going to you

Evalds is a class act but in the wrong position ,a lot better at full back than on the wing.It's a half back we need to replace Brough and for me Robert Lui fits the bill

wont be replacing brough next season will we as hes here till the end of 2018.

Any more news on Ridyard? Will he still be with Leigh next year?

Re: 2018 recruitment : Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:23 am  

My wife is a Hull KR fan and we watch both teams when they dont clash and have seen a few of his games.

I dont mind him, but think there are better than him around, but he wont take up a quota spot and wont have as big a salary round his neck.

One thing I did notice about him, he regular kicks the ball into open space, turning the full back and wingers around, which, despite our good season is something we struggle to do.

Is Ridyard due a testemonial season ,if so he won't be going anywhere.Seems to be a popular lad does Martyn other than with certain members of Leigh's vast coaching staff

Re: 2018 recruitment : Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:56 am  

Looking at Leigh board plenty of depatures But Ridyard is mentioned as staying.Only one i would be remotely interested in signing is James Clare who has been very unlucky with injury.Ryan Hampshire has the potential to be a very good player but never stops anywhere long, he is in danger of frittering his career away,he is a Yorkshire lad Normanton i think and i have allways thought he would end up at Wakefield.More likely signing for them than Jamie Ellis who is more likely to be playing in the Championship next year

Given Warrington's mass clear out wonder if either or both of the King brothers could be tempted back to their home town club

Re: 2018 recruitment : Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:41 am  

both signed one year extensions

Re: 2018 recruitment : Thu Oct 05, 2017 12:59 pm  

shame paticularly like the look of Toby ,it was a bad day when we let these two slip the net,Huddersfield is not so over run with players that we can let two of the better ones leave.Same with that lad at Leeds who made his debut this season ,is his name Newman

Re: 2018 recruitment : Thu Oct 05, 2017 1:09 pm  

ridyard wont be here next year , swapped him for rankin basically.
