Some pack then moimoi Weston Spencer Acton tickle Hopkins Hock in the front row

Hansen Patterson maitua Dixon in the back row with Acton Hock and tickle covering both

Higham Hood and Burns to cover 9, with Drinkwayer Ridyard and Reynolds covering halves with Burns to offer competition if needed
Tonga is fit and raring to go and hope Kay is ok and whiting back soon
Welcome Danny, will have been a while since you pulled on a Leigh shirt,

Tickle has been playing prop at Cas. He is described as 'having a good engine' - which is exactly how Jake Emmitt was described. We never replaced Jake, and have been a bit light at prop since he left us.

I think the sigining effectively strengthens the pack mentally.Creates competition,avoids complacency.

Well if he's in the 17 Sunday, I'll believe that.If not I won't.

He could have played weeks ago but a run out this week followed by a great eights will make him a hero in October, Hayne and Tonga as a centre/wing combo

Re: new signing : Tue Jul 19, 2016 8:52 am  

Quick question, as far as I understand it the quota is 7 and from your squad list it would be the following: Weston, MoiMoi, Patterson, Tonga, Burns, Drinkwater and Maitua. Who would make way for Hayne or any other overseas signing?

Just posted the same question on another thread!!

Re: new signing : Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:20 am  

Josh Drinkwater holds a German passport.

Re: new signing : Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:21 am  

Yep, Drinkwater is non quota.

Re: new signing : Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:29 am  

I thought the quota was 5.Must be some more with EU passports.
