We haven't replaced hardaker have we?

Brian Carney has told skysports Wigan and Catalans are in for Ricky Leutele, made big offers

Who do we let go if we sign him?

Get Isa to do what Jerry Seuseu did when we signed Fielden

I'm sure some of the cleverer ones on here will have an answer?
At the end of the day IL will sort it as it's his money to spend as opposed to a Sky subscription to all SL clubs benefit.

We're losing at least two centres from our 2022 wage list -- Hardaker & Bibby -- so, in theory, we should be signing like-for-like replacements with two of the three rumoured names in Gildart, Wardle & Leutele.

I personally think we are somewhat set at every other position -- especially if Tommy continues.

The question is about quota spaces - if French stays then we are full.
Tommy has dispensation, we would keep Field/French so Isa/Miski/Mago/Ellis/Cust would need to be sacked/paid off to free a space or perhaps one of those five wants an early release for some reason?

More likely we go for a fed trained centre, like Wardle/Gildart?

[wgwr1999]

I really don't see us signing Leutele.

Logistical issues, as you said, with the quota but even the fact he's 32, has a slightly worrying injury history -- he said it was weight related -- & turned down a deal at Hudd makes me feel like "big" money spent might not be worth it.

Cooper doesn’t come free!

Not like for like but we have signed Cooper who won’t be cheap.

No but we're likely to get rid of Partington for at least 2023, possibly Isa too & KPP could be gone for a fee.

Isa has just signed a 2 year deal in the last month or so
