I have listened through the podcast.

Am I the only one here who had not heard of DB's near death experience! Wow!

I've seen no mention of it before. Is this breaking news or am I the last in the room to hear something that has been common knowledge

News to me.

Few people saying Asiata is optional. Think he is a must to keep asap. A ball handling loose forward built like a prop who has the skills of a half back. Think he is one of the star players in the group.

For me he is bigger and better version of James Bell, if not already he must be signed up for the next couple of seasons. Plays like 3rd HB, very often you’ll see the play going through him - provides great options in attack and he seems to have a very solid defence.

Also generally tends to do the full 80 - a must have for me, can imagine top 4 clubs sniffing for him

A world class player. The idea that we would not sign him is unbelievable. IF we can then he is a must.

Somebody has signed for a 3 year extension - The must keeps are Amone and Asiata. I think it is Asiata who has re-discovered his love for the game and appears to be really enjoying his time at Leigh.
Amone is much quieter but I would like to think he too will pen a new contract, but the SL vultures will be circling.

Anyone saying Asiata is optional doesn't know much about RL. Asiata is an exceptional player and a must keep along with Amone. Hope they both sign up soon.

I don’t know much, but I do know Asiata is a keeper !

The club have Asiata signed for next season if we are in SL, if we are not then Asiata can choose to take up the year extension or not. https://twitter.com/derek_beaumont/stat ... 8eMNBEOoEQ
