Incoming from Wigan confirmed, very highly rated and a very good signing for us. Yet another young English talent

What a time to be a young developing player at leeds with Rohan Smith in charge

Sounds from a few quotes from him that he did have an offer to stay at Wigan.

Yes, looks like he did, but obviously he feels like the Rhinos and Rohan Smith can offer him a better chance at Super League development.
For how highly rated he's been at Wigan it is odd that he's barely played for them, hopefully he takes his chance here and runs with it

He got over for a try today playing for Leigh, he seems to be playing off the bench for them most weeks.

Edwin Ipape scoring another belter for Leigh on those highlights. Cracking player him.

Looks like Walters is being groomed for prop so this signing makes perfect sense as we only have four second rowers .

Looking forward to seeing him and what else PNG have to offer at the World Cup. PNG beat Fiji (Fiji were favourites for the game) in the recent Rep round, both sides were without their Super League and Championship based players.
