Harry Stottle Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Surely some on that list would be of interest to Leigh, on the recruitment side nothing is coming out of the club, Mr Beaumont's aim he says is to be in SL in '22 at this rate of team strengthening he must be banking on P&R for whatever reason being scrapped this year. I never had much hope that we could survive the drop, but I will be bitterly disappointed if the club doesn't make the effort to give it a go.

I never had much hope that we could survive the drop, but I will be bitterly disappointed if the club doesn't make the effort to give it a go. There are surely some more high-profile signings on the way at Leigh. Somebody on the Leigh forum put out a potential 17-man line-up saying they thought it was the strongest Leigh team they had put out for a very long time. My thoughts were that it was a very strong team if challenging for promotion, but as far as SL was concerned, I wasn't so sure. In fact, given the fact that strength of Leigh's squad was the main reason cited for their getting the nod for the vacant SL spot, I must admit I'd fancy a potential Fev squad to give them a game, at the very least. 1.

Not just because he is a top player, but what he can bring to the club from a "lets get the kids playing" point of view. A top french international player who should be helping push the club onwards and upwards. Let's just hope he gets to play this year ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned the Leigh roster has been put together to contest the Championship, as the teams stand at the moment I would put the Leigh squad in 3rd place in the Championship race never mind avoiding relegation in SL. A question for those Fev fans who prior to the 12th team announcement, who said their team would not be strong enough for SL, have you had a change of heart?

Leigh still only have 22/23 players so there is definitely more to come. DB has already confirmed on a couple of interviews he did that our remaining quota spots will be used on another centre and 2nd row - Tim Lafai, Dean Whare and Bryson Goodwin were all being considered at centre and i'd expect another couple of further additions on top of that.

James Bell 14. Matty Wildie 15. Adam Sidlow 16. Nathan Mason 17. Jordan Thompson I think in some positions we're stronger than the 2017 SL squad, others we're behind. Below is a 17 based on who made the most appearances our last year in SL. Ryan Hampshire Matty Dawson Ben Crooks Mitch Brown Adam Higson Ben Reynolds Josh Drinkwater Gareth Hock Eloi Pelissier Jamie Acton Harrison Hansen Atilea Vea Glenn Stewart Lachlan Burr Danny Tickle Liam Hood Sam Hopkins I think wing, halfback and hooker we're stronger/better balanced than 2017. Centre we're currently a little behind but a good signing will change that, same with second row. Prop is an interesting one, Hock was unbelievable in rounds 1-8 and carried the pack until he got injured but the pack in general was so immobile that teams just picked us off down the middle.
