Let's be honest, we could sign a current australia international, with 12 Super League coaches announcing that they wanted to sign the player, and we'd still get some Yorkies telling us how it's a bad signing.

Incidentally, didn't Hansen win Salford's player of the year award last year?

Was only jesting, bit depressing on our side for me at the minute need to try convince myself what I wrote is true. Although on a serious note of all the signings you have made I would be most nervous about this one injury record and performance not been great. I do think looking back over the thread Pomeroy would have been the better choice if available. But you are looking strong does this signing perk up the rumours Armstrong is set to leave?

Fair dos. I did wonder about Armstrong as well, but DB has posted on facebook that he's not going anywhere, apparently he's ill, hopefully nothing serious.

That said, we now have Tonga, Armstrong, Worthington, Pala and Platt (officially) on the books, as well as Harper who was retained after the reserves was scrapped and players like Maitua and Higson that can cover centre, I'd be very surprised if we don't see at least one player leave

Cant see him just sitting in the stands but can see Tonga and him as starting. Personally not seen much of Worthington but from what I have seen dont think he will have much a future at Leigh especially if you go up. See you may have one to come cant see where its needed personally

he was that bad he almost scored a try every 2 games, cant wait for him to be good... Lot of convincing hes played at the pinnacle of the sport!

well he trained yesterday morning mate, so baring a pre season injury id expect him to play against Wigan

Hello Leigh Fans.To see Tonga at his best,but also at his very worst go to the Huddersfield v. Catalan match in the super eights.After this performance he was booted out forever.He was unlucky with injuries ,one of which was a broken jaw. He is a very skilful attacking player,far better than Pomeroy in that department,but his defence is poor.If you can motivate him he will be an excellent acquisition. If?
