Depends partly on ambition I suppose. Also if your a Leigh lad then it's pragmatic to stay.

The pack are too old to be of interest to anyone. The backs aren't good enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same team turn out next year, all spouting wanting to stay to repay the fans. In reality, more likely to be due to the lack of alternatives.

The exception would be Glenn Stewart, who would be the kind of forward who would help guide a young pack.

According to the Leigh foruum 13 players are moving on.

Hampshire is one of those moving on

And 3 of the players quoted are on loan to Leigh so will be going back, one as not even arrived yet he still might if he cant get another club, the poster has been challenged to how he know's and cant answer! So its a case of wait and see.

Stewart has been disappointing beyond words considering his reputation - from what I have seen of you guys I'd stay well clear, you have better and he's on big bucks as I understand it

Although I agree with others re Hampshire taking short of expectations so far but a basement player?! That also applies to a few others tbh.

I mention Hampshire purely because he is a HB which apparently is what we are after.

Hampshire not seen as a half back by Wane, Powell and Leigh, but I reckon he could be a very good utility back I.e wing and FB (half if desperate)

I think Leigh are staying full time so I'm not sure if many will want to leave at all.

Hampshire has already said he wants to leave and there new signing is going to Warrington

Surprised to see Westerman is going from Wire to Toronto.

Ben Reynolds looks as though he may be a good addition to the squad if at the right price and he can cover half back positions or full back. Think he's from Castleford originally.

I agree about the Leigh pack...can't see any player in there that would help improve the Trinity pack.

Think Reynolds has stated he is staying with Leigh.

I'm not he's never lived up to expectation and always looks like trouble to me - hence the exspultion from Warrington.
