Chris Hill has been a pillar of strength in Leigh sides that have underperformed and he has dragged them along. You are getting a young prop that has looked after himself so well he has been virtually injury free. He has played week in week out and put in a good shift nearly every time. It's time for Chris now to make his mark on SL and he will get the full support of us Leythers. Expect some red and white at your place next year.

Good signing for you, not only is he at a decent playing level now but has great potential and should really kick on at a full time club with good facilities. Plus he's young which is always a massive bonus, not that you'd know about that.

You beat Saints, Huddersfield and Salford to this signing with most competition between you and Huddersfield. Should go really well in Super League, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed when it was officially announced.

Another who as come to Warrington to win things!!
You can see why he did nt want to go to Saints..

We couldn't / weren't to prepared to offer the sort of contract you was. Huddersfield was your real close contender so direct you're fire that way.

Suprised Wigan weren't after him considering they're in desperate need of a prop, plus he played for Wigan St Pats.

Looking forward to watching him next year.

He actually played for New Springs Lions for the biggest part of his junior career

Does this have any impact on Ratchford's destination do we think? Or have you got more to leave that would accomodate him as well?

You can come and support Chris if you like in the Leigh end next sunday.

You really have picked up a cracking prospect in Hilly. Still only in his (very) early 20's and has played more than 150 games for Leigh, including a couple in our ill-fated SL season, as a 16 year-old. Marvellous attitude, fanatical trainer, eager to learn, and a really nice lad off the pitch.

I'm sure his spell at Warrington will develop him into an international - and remember, he has played for England Academy, as a Championship player. Not many have done that!

Lets not forget Matt kings wage should cover another 6 or 7 signings.

From opposition fans it always stated that we must have offered more money to beat them to players signatures. They don't look at the following areas that we have improved over the past few years;

Training and playing facilities
Coaching set-up - players can be confident that they will receive some of the best coaching to help them develop
Fun team to play for that has great teamwork and team spirit, plays expansive attack and hard defence
Team that has recently won trophies and is hungry for more, players want to be a part of that (and get the bonuses involved with that)

Next time it would be better to read the Leigh board

Hilly goes with our best wishes, he is the best Prop in our league, look after him and there's no reason why he wont become the best in SL.

all us leythers wish chris all the very best, he is a fine rl player, and you guys have made a superb signing, it makes a real nice change for sl clubs to look at lower league players, rather than just automatically signing overseas players. I shall certainly try and take in a few more games dowen at the hj to cheer on hilly.

ps canwe have him back on dual reg please

Chris's signing means we will have, Moz, Woody, Coops, Garvell and Chris all fighting for a Prop spot with Benny H and Solo also in contention.
