Sad priorities if the club are
not prepared to make up and re-engage with Tom Amone’s manager. Tom is an
outstanding player who loves Leigh and is precisely what is missing from the team
at present. Absolute playground stuff and this after somehow missing out on
Sneyd. Not a good look for the club and very disappointing for the fans.

The Sydney Roosters are the same with another agent named Moses. Won’t do deals with him. However, sometimes you need to put things aside when you have a player like Amone available who fits our club perfectly. Is it the coaching staff as well as Derek who feel like this, if not then we can’t build a team that Lammie wants, which creates problems. 

I wonder if this is causing any friction between Derek and the coaching staff or players? He’s very vocal on Twitter and arguing with everyone, including our own fans. The optics are really bad for the club and i can imagine a professional coach like Adrian Lam is losing patience.

Lammy said he was talking directly to Tom to the press and now Derek has undermined him by saying we were never in for Tom due to not having a relationship with Sam Ayoub. Sounds to me like Derek is trying to save some pride as Hull KR have offered more.


Why can’t we just be the quietly performing professional organisation like Wigan, Saints or Hull KR. 


If the the playing budget is managed by Chris Chester then all signings should upto him and Lam, or does everybody at the club have a problem with Ayoub, if so you can expect Lachlan Lam to be leaving at the end of 2025 as Sam Ayoub is his agent aswell.

No doubt Lam will be asked about his view on the whole thing when he has his next presser. But I wouldn't blame him for being annoyed.


Beaumont is too volatile a character to be too close to the playing side, and negotiations. I thought that was the whole point of Chris Chester.

I?m gutted he?s gone to KR. If Derek has blocked Chester from negotiating for Amone, it doesn?t look good and we miss a very good player all to get one over on his agent. This can and will have a massive problem when it?s time to get Lochlan resigned. Ayoub will probably do everything he can to block that. The signing of Amone to both CAS and KR seemed to go through very smoothly. Once again gutted and I hope this isn?t the start of us missing players left right and centre.
