Jeez! Featherstone are really spending some coin with their latest signings.

Thanks for doing this, brilliant job! I think Nichol and Wallace signed one year contracts but that article has disappeared from the club website.
Anyone know the situation regarding Marty Race? He’s the only member of the 2021 squad who I haven’t seen mentioned as staying, released or joining another club.

Featherstone spending will all end in tears

Featherstone have thrown him a lifeline but he's damaged goods. He's got some serious baggage and has self-sabotaged his career in the NRL according to this article: https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/joey-leilu ... 3506d33945 I can't see Brian McDermott standing for any of that nonsense.

I said exactly the same. Not a chance he will last the season. Stinking attutude, always over weight, carries baggage and creates trouble season after season

Leilua was an absolute monster only a few seasons ago. Questions are definitely there to be answered regarding how he's gone from a top NRL side to a champ club so quickly but if he's even partially switched on he will cause carnage in this league.

To be honest I'm really looking forward to seeing him play!

It'll be interesting to see what state he's in. His career has gone down the pan massively and he has an awful reputation. So much that no SL was interested and he's instead gone to Fev.

They're really spending big. I hope they know what they're doing. We tried the poop or bust approach in 2015 and look where that got us.

Purely based on precedent and the many clubs that have chased the SL dream, I'm cynically thinking there's about 25% chance they know what they're doing and 75% they'll go bust. No desire for that to be the case as I'm at worst neutral about Feath but their business model doesn't entirely stack up to me.
