Lammy keeps talking about Leigh having one of the smallest squads in SL. I have taken a straw poll of the start of the season squads:
Hull KR – 32
Huddersfield – 34
Wigan – 30
Leeds – 36
St Helens – 32
Warrington – 33
Wakefield – 30
Salford – 28
Castleford – 37
Catalans – 32
Leigh – 26
Hull FC - 36
Only Leigh and Salford are under the 30 man squad numbers - the intention was always to recruit now once Lammy and Chezzy had seen the strengths and weaknesses in the current squad. 2nd Row is where the injuries have kicked in and consequently Leigh drafted in Shorrocks, who has been ever present in the Pies team since returning. Frankie is hopefully the first of the forwards. The other area for concern is Centre, with Chamberlain seen as not SL material.
At Half Back, Reynolds seems to have cemented the spare birth, with Mellor playing the utility role.
