The Blues Ox Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 17 hours ago, paulwalker71 said: There's no chance of Halifax finishing lower than the Bulls and I can't see them below York and Newcastle either I would think Halifax would consider anything lower than third as a bad season Id agree with that but I woud also go as far as saying if we are no closer to a possible top 2 than we were this season that would also be a bit of a let down. Its probably our strongest squad since the 2010 Grand Final winning one and Ive no doubt we still have a couple of season long loans to announce closer to the time who will both improve the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why it's still hard to make predictions for 2021. Leigh are getting to a stage where they have a handy squad now, their two recent signings both look very good additions, but do they have any more good ones that they haven't announced yet? Also they've made it clear DR will feature heavily as well as loans so it will be interesting to see who is earmarked for them from Saints, they definitely need a bit more depth in the pack but they might get that from DR. Sounds like Fax as well as Fev will have further announcements to make, maybe other clubs too. Really interesting season coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebennettswinger Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I would imagine Dan Norman and Danny Hill, Josh Sim or Tom Nisbett could figure from Saints if the first team stay injury free. Taylor Pemberton is getting big wraps as a young hooker but Leigh will already have Aaron Smith on loan from Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLANTISMAN Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Its going to be a cracking season that's for sure my prediction.

Snowys Backside Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Leigh still have at Least 2 more to announce. would make sense to keep Alex Gerrard. Good Prop, but any more additions need to be packmen. Amone is a wrecking ball. Looking forward to seeing him in action and Aekins can’t half shift. Great season ahead.

sweaty craiq Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Leigh will announce 5 more, and the DR with Saints will be mainly on their better players not in the 17 that week imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure where he gets it from but I will say this, in my 30 odd years of watching Fax I can't remember a player who took the ball in as hard as his unlce Asa. 100mph every single time no let up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireBull Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 As the season goes on and Newcastle are in the mix hard to see them not being able to exploit wigan link and checkbook. Leigh Fev Fax Thunder but the battle for those last two playoff spots between York Widnes and Bulls going to be huge. Just shows the strength of division that finishing 6th in the playoffs has to be seen as a good year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Widnes looking a lot better than last season? Ive not really been that impressed by their signings, certainly not enough to think they will finish above Batley. I like Mimms and think hes a good Championship player but for those thinking we are suddenly going to find enough full time players to fill 6 teams, I think this is an example of how they are struggling in SL to find quality players to fill teams. 2x10 would serverly water down the product if all teams had to be full time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
