Where does this leave Reynolds and Drinkwater? Hopefully they both stick with us as they're cracking young players..... Has Ridyard got a long term injury?

May be Patterson as burns at loose could be interesting

would be if I knew what you mean't Mo lol

Nothing wrong with Reynolds, Drinkwater, Hood and Foster playing but with Higham and I’m guessing Riddy missing we’re lacking experience in the middle so Burns is a great addition, and as Mo says he can fill in at loose with Hock leaving a hole in the forwards, not sure where Paterson’s up to?

Are we simply seeing a changing of the guard?

Seriously exciting times at Leigh. I can't wait to get down to the LSV on the 12th. Well done Derek and Co'.

Possibly.



I’ve not always agreed with what DB says or the way he says it, but I can’t knock his willingness and commitment to respond to anything that could potentially knock us off track, we may not get there but it won't be for the lack of support from DB and for that I am grateful.

That's a great coup for you guys... We've been looking for a halfback for months and Leigh sign 2 within a month!

If Riddy is injured and Micky is banned for a few matches then our halves pairing and 2 hookers is likely to be Drinkwater (23), Reynolds (22), Hood (24) and Foster (22). Very young line up for such important positions no matter how talented they are.



An experienced head like Burns to help take control and guide the team around the field could be a real benefit in the next few weeks with some key players missing. Be interesting to see if he plays at 6/7/9 or even 13.

What a stunning signing. Seriously exciting times at the minute. Two quality half backs in as many weeks. Well done DB. I'm very, very excited!

Exactly my thoughts.



You could have stolen those words from my mouth.



Thanks Derek Beaumont ..... sincerely, & I will bring a friend & pay for them too.



Come on LEIGH.

Blimey...the signing has even made the BBC sports website !!!
