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.

Gorski was pretty decent a few seasons back but is probably past his best. I was dissapointed when Fax let Govin go as he defnatley has plenty of talent and when he manages to get on the field is a good player for any team at this level. Think he will go well for you.

how old is Gorski now?

around 29 ish

cheers Fred

Govin is good when not injured.Tim Hartley all over again?Well i hope not as another disappointing season.

Get used to it lad lets be honest you should be.
