Waynebennettswinger Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 15 minutes ago, POR said: Featherstone Rovers have secured the signing of two-time Dally M Centre of the year, Joey Leilua. Wow! I had to read that twice to check you were talking of the player I was thinking of. Not seen much NRL over the last 2 years but prior to that he was capable of brilliant centre play (granted the odd brain fart too.) I commented a few days ago that nobody should be expecting Toulouse to have made ‘big’ signings as there is nobody out there! Assuming he hasn’t been over friendly with a dog or been snorting something then…. I stand corrected. Great signing by Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turns up even half interested he will be devastating. Unbelievable. Long time since I've been sat in a state of shock at a signing rovers have made. I'm quite literally blown away.

I'm quite literally blown away. There's an argument that it's the biggest signing the club has ever made in terms of profile, particularly when considering Fev are in the Championship. Thinking back at other big signings, Gavin Hill? Currier? Even players like Tuuta weren't huge deals at the time. Crazy, crazy signing. 2 Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Yeah, I don't think Leilua will be getting a job at Linpac to subsidise his wage but it's not a true full time environment. Those 'full time' players are mainly doing community work in the day. 2 Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

What makes it insane is if as suggested in 2023 there will be two sets of 10 why bother trying to win promotion this coming season.Surely with their recent record Fev will be one of the 8 teams invited to join .

It's only been suggested and who's to say champ winner wont be in the top 10, something I also saw as an option. This is RL anything can happen.

Maybe he'll be helping Jesse S-L out a bit at the Nevisons Leap, not sure there'd be too much trouble there if you had his fellow Samoans Leilua and Junior Moors on the doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep The Faith Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 On 20/11/2021 at 11:49, RBKnight said: Here's one good reason why the Championship will be so tough next year - Newcastle, York, Widnes and Dewsbury have good claims to have better, and more balanced squads for next year. ALL of them finished in the bottom half last year..... That puts pressure on IMO last year's over-achievers (Haven, Bulls, Batley), but also on Sheffield and London, with their big player churns. Dewsbury have for me signed players from Doncaster (who couldn’t win promotion) I’ve said to certain mates of mine you sign from them you could end up like them if they don’t click and pressure is on greenwood Batley didn’t over achieve last year I said all year we’d be up there… I expect us to be around there again with our squad… lingard has been backed again and is always willing to learn like Grix at fax, who’s done brilliant business in the market but can Keyes carry his halves who can buckle under the pressure of playing the higher standard… We shall see 2022 is a season not to be missed http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
