Looking on the official site today, looks as if the two local lads seem to be the final pieces to the squad. Surely we need a bit more experiance in the pack, and what about taking advantage of the dual registered spaces left?

I think we are very strong in the forwards and have good cover now at half back.

Like most I would like a fast competant winger but what the heck we have a great squad.

Re duals we can add 2 later in the season if needs be. imo of course. icon_smile.gif

I think that we have plenty of 'experience' in the pack even though a lot of them are still only 'young'ish for forwards. The likes of Hilly and Taylor have been around for a good few years now and although not that old they must now be classed as 'experienced' at championship level? Goulden, Bibey, Littler, Duffy, Gorski and even Nash are all fairly experienced either at SL or Championship level. Add in the young prospects like Nicholson, Hopkins and the likes of Thornley and I think we have a good mix of youth, talent and experience.

One thing we might lack if injuries occur is DEPTH. And I suspect maybe that is why Basil is keeping 2 Duel Reg spaces free for now. Maybe if ,for example, Duffy (god forbid) gets a bad injury then we have a DR space there to bring in a promising hooker from a SL squad. Same if we get a couple of injuries in the Props or 2nd Row.

I think our squad has a better balance than last year and if this IS the complete squad then i'm basically happy with it.

I hope you are right. There seems to be a lot of youth coming through this year, with Nicholson, Pownall and Hopkins given numbers just to name a few. I just hope it wont be a gamble that won't backfire. C'mon the Leigh!

Personally im happy with the Squad we now have ,i feel during the season maybe Basil will bring in a NEW signing ,and a couple of D/Cs to bolster the Squad,but i feel we are capable of a top 3 finish and a Spot at BLACKPOOL.

Pack will go well and halves should be OK but still not enough pace in the 3/4's -

Possibly agree but unless we get a significant increase in revenue what we got is what we got

Another poor season, as i feel the team is not good enough to get in the top 4.Fax,Widnes,Fev, and possibly barrow above Leigh.NRC semi final at best. icon_thumb.gif
