I think you're reading too much into it. We released a statement quoting Asiata and now Leigh have done the same. It smacks of Leigh trying to save face. Beaumont is obviously upset at losing his captain.

anyone got any names of potential signings,im bored stiff with this non story rubbish,as far as im concerned we signed one of leighs better players,end of story.

I was told Whitehead as a marquee a couple of weeks ago, think I put it on here too. I think the only other side he would go to is Catalan if they show interest

I suppose it repends if he still thinks he can play for a year or two more. Then it's a choice between us and Catalans, think we could offer more cash, but the pull of the French lifestyle (but he's been there, so might want a new challenge)

Other than that, not sure who we could possibly sign, weird situation in RL where most clubs seem to be fine financially, even the likes of Cas and Wakey.

We need a centre, 7, 9 and backrow, not sure there is a uk based player that is good enough or a possibility for a marquee spot.

Whitehead has been a great player but we dont want a dads army second row if Holmes is coming in.
Chan from Wigan is the sort of player we should be looking at and i would welcome the club make an effort to sign him and use him as a second row

He'll probably go to Wakefield with Johnstone and McMeeken. Their ability to attract current international players shows a bit more ambition than us.

Whitehead supposedly met up with his management this week to discuss a potential SL move

In fairness it'll probably come down to money. Rovers wanted McMeeken but with the 3 marquee places filled it was not possible to match Wakefield's offer.

If you think Whitehead is worth marquee money you should offer it and you'd probably get him.

Who are Rovers 3 marquee players? I would have thought Lewis, JWH and Hiku at a guess.

Not only would he be a great signing we wouldn't need to use a quota place for SR. Hope it happens but can't see it.

Is lachlan lamb fed trained

I'm not feeling Whitehead as a good signing.

Granted, he's been a top player for the past 5 to 10 years, but I think he's well past his peak. I'd hate his decline to be with us

I can't see what he'd offer us exept standing in the way of the progression of Staveley, who forced his way into our first team this season on merit.

Whitehead could sign with any SL team. He’s loved over there, not on par with Ellis but very similarly. I’d take him tomorrow, he’s what we’ve missed since Ellis and Mini.

Myler explaining today that we’ve not spoke to him in the playing sense but there has been conversations around coaching staff. Surely Myler would have asked the question…

I'd rather throw the big money at a good half back right now.

We've alredy spent big in the back row with Asiata, and we have some young lads in that area ready to break in.
