Leigh Leopards drafted in Warrington Wolves hooker Brad Dwyer on a two week loan after they lost Edwin Ipape to injury.
The star hooker suffered an MCL injury in Round One against Huddersfield Giants leading to the Leopards drafting in Brad Dwyer from the Warrington Wolves.
The initial deal with a two week deal but a rolling contract extended week to week. Leigh Leopards boss Adrian Lam has said that he would like to sign Brad Dwyer to a “long term” deal.
The Warrington Wolves have recently brought back Joe Bullock from his loan at Hull FC.
So, what about Dwyer? Well Lam addressed his immediate future on the club’s official YouTube channel.
He said: “He can be called back by them within 24 hours but it’s on a week to week basis.”
He also confirmed he wouldn’t feature in the Cup likely due to the possibility of being cup tied.
Leigh Leopards set for more loan signings after Warrington Wolves move?
The Leigh Leopards continue to have problems with injuries and Lam gave an update on his son’s injury.
“Lachlan Lam had a massive laceration on his leg which needed 15 stitches. It is on the positive side of things because we thought it was his knee at first. We will add him to the group and will give him right until kick-off this week. He will miss a week at the most if he does miss this week.”
He also gave a worrying update on Tom Amone: “No one is coming back at the moment. It’s a one way door unfortunately. There is some concern over Tom Amone. He hurt his foot in the game.
“We didn’t think it was that bad at first but it’s looking like a little bit more trouble for us but we are getting him scanned and waiting for the results there.”
With the injuries mounting up, the question becomes: will the Leigh Leopards look the loan market yet again with players like Jake Bibby and others presently available for loan, the Leigh Leopards have options they could consider a move for a Super League player.
