Leigh are looking to send brand out on loan to gain match fitness, I’d take him on a 2 week loan for sure. 

Depends if we can keep Zach Eckersley mate. I know boils down to money, but I like a big forward too.

Interesting developments Bradford going for bust to looking to NRL (again)? Keighley tottering might be good to keep our powder dry. Two new signings due back soon Gilmore and Roberts.

Played too well and sometimes you don't want them too good playing. That hatrick got him noticed for Wigan. 🙈

He was recalled last week and played full back for Wigan's reserves as we had no game.  He's not in their squad to play Hull this week so I'd fully expect him to play for Widnes on Monday.

@mick-george he won’t have done nothing for months, he’ll still have a decent level of fitness and from a full time environment to a part time is a huge difference. It’s for cover not for season

Brand is mid twenties now and has made how many appearances ? If he hasn't established himself as a regular at this stage then it's unlikely he ever will.Not at top level anyway.

I'm with you on this one. Apart from us not wanting an unfit player just for a couple of weeks, Brand played badly towards the end of his career with us, not trying hard and believing he was too good for us.

No reason for us to do him or Leigh a favour. Let's stick with Owens, Fleming and Edge, plus Eckersley, for now.

@cuerdley-viking I disagree, he would be a good center in the championship 

he would also push the wingers for a spot if he didn’t get in at center, we need competition for places, that’s been a big problem for us for a long time now

The only centre worse than Brand is an unfit Brand, this is meant jokingly but you should be presenting Jackanory.

There's a difference between unfit and not match fit.

Look at Bradford signing ex nrl players to end of season  and we are bringing in ex London broncos players on 1 month loan deals.🤦‍♂️ it really does show our ambition. I think eckersley has brought something and I hope the Leigh second rower has a massive impact but it doesn’t scream we’re in it to win it does it
