Adam Higson is right up there with 6. Well done to the ex-Leyther. No mean feat when you consider he is playing for one of the lower ranked sides. Nice one AJ. Regular rugby is doing you a power of good, as we knew it would.

As Ive said loads of times, Adam is a good player, been injury free this season.
Didn't want to leave neither.

Higson was rather impressive on Sunday & I reckon he'll be back with us next season

Depends on his wage demands though. Couldn't afford him this season.

Was surprised at the crowd on Sunday or lack of at the LSV

Adam has played centre every week and has gained a lot of confidence from playing each week in the same position. He obviously has ability. He justed needed to play regularly. Over on the Swinton board, they are saying that they cannot believe he couldn't hold down a regular place at Leigh. They are not on their own. Just shows if your face doesn't really seem to fit, you are better off moving on and thriving somewhere else.

It was rather a low attendance I suspect the city game which was a potential title clincher had something to do with the lack of support

I would suggest it's because Gardner and Maden are both better players. We had a field day down Higson's wing on Good Friday if memory serves me right. Nowt against him, but I've never understood this almost hero worship offered to a player who was never much more than a versatile squad player.

Higson, Maden and Gardner are all good championship players Matt. The Swinton fans are wondering why Higson did not get a regular spot at Leigh LAST season and the season before. I do not remember Gardner being here last year or in 2010. In addition, Adam is showing good form at centre. I do not remember Maden vying with him for centre spot very much in recent seasons. If you had watched Swinton over a series of games this year Matt, I think you would realise he is more than a versatile squad player. With all due respect, I'd take the view of Adam from Swinton fans who have watched him every week this year and Steve McCormack's, over yours. How many times have you watched him this season for example. I do not claim he is great or wonderful, but a good championship player, who is now being given a chance to play centre every week. Gardner and Maden are also good championship players, who are playing in a better team currently than Adam. Good luck to the lad I say.

Seen him play at least four times this season, for what it's worth. And he got owned in the game against us.

Like I said, nowt against him but you'd think he was Mal Meninga with the way people carry on about him on here.

It is worth a lot. If you are not watching him and someone else is watching him every week, they are likely to have a better idea of how he is doing. By the way, I think you are getting confused about the hero worship and the likening to Mal Meninga. I do not remember AJ having his own song and flag. Wasn't that some other bloke?

Well there are 2 schools of thought on AJ.

For myself I have always rated him' but because of the squad we had last season he was esentially a utility player.

He is in a settled position at the Lions and has stayed injury free which will obviously impact on his game notwithstanding Good Friday.

The thing is though Frank, despite us having a good squad last year, who in your opinion should have been nailed on at right centre? Did we in your opinion have an outstanding right centre? Sure we borrowed Armstrong and Evans from time to time, but who did we have of our own. We changed who we put there quite frequently. Hill and Ellis were obviously our outstanding players last year. I do not remember us having anyone of their calibre at right centre?

Armstrong was with us all season and imo was outstanding for us.
Was Littler the other main centre?

Armstrong was NOT with us all the time and I am sure you will remember Littler was in the backrow nearly every week.
