I hope our subscriptions are upto date at Beaumont Hospital.

Very witty!

Where you been? Welcome back, mate

I personally think if he stays fit Govin we be a major asset. I'm very surprised he joined us without too much fuss and very little competition for his signature.

We have an embarrasment of riches in the halves and hooking positions all of a sudden. Gorski will also add competition. I'm peronally looking forward to seeing the impact Adam Higson will make this season as he had lots of injury problems and played out on the wing at the back of end of last season but was still more than useful.

very happy with the signings in particular mick govin cant wait for the season COME ON YOU LEYTHERS !!!

looking at the squad listing in the Journal - a strong 17 but not much experience beyond that...not saying thats a bad thing...hope we stay clear of injuries..

There's a lot of talent and potential beyond the '17' - more so than last season.

I was thinking the same thing myself Alan, Hoppy, Briscoe, Pownall, and especially Nico are 4 of the best prospects ive seen for a while and all Leigh lads with great attitudes, the two duals well one we know well in Blythe (did anyone else see him on TV last - thur- night?) and the other kid Armstrong looks a very fine prospect, Govs and Gorski are two experienced campaigners, yes i'd like a fast winger but that 'tree' is empty - anyway McGilvery aint no slouch.

wouldn't disagree with that, I'm just hoping they will be able to slot into the team without pressure rather than being thrown in at the deep end (as we know what Leigh fans are like!)

Happy to see both sign.
Hopefully Govin will have a injury free season and revert to some of the form that made him popular (Fev away a few years back springs to mind

).
Certainly 2 signings that seem to have impressed Basil when he had a look at them so the attitude and application must be spot on.

Don't know a lot about Gorski whatsoever tbh.

But Govin for me has been that player that though not renowned as exceptional has stood out every single time I have seen him play (I am sure we all have one of these), and whoever he has played for, even when out of posistion at times as impressed me and always wanted to see him at Widnes. Seem's to have a lot of skill and an immense work rate and heart for the game. Some chockin injuries have ceratinly held him back but hopefully he can get a good rest break and come back strong (shame with you lot but still)

Pleased Gov's back. Gives us options and will do well for us when fit.
