Leigh Leopards and Adrian Lam particularly have made it clear that full-back David Armstrong is a player that they are interested in with the first reports linking the Papua New Guinean full-back emerging early this year.

At the time, Lam explained that the club were at full quota and had been knocked back but they’ve still kept an eye on the 23-year-old in the months since. During that time, Armstrong has emerged as Newcastle’s saviour with starting full-back and captain Kayln Ponga going down injured.
