Agreed he offers more with ball in hand but that does not make him a better fullback, he has been a bit dodgy under the high ball on more than one occasion this year and Like mort before him from opposing teams kicks he often has to move a long way to take ball as positional play lets him down but only young and not always been a full back great potential but I still feel pownall will be the better long term full back but that's just my opinion.

I can see what you're saying but having a ball-handling full back can be a big weapon and as much as I like Pownall, his skills aren't really suited towards that. Yes McNally has spilled a couple of high kicks, but he's also made a couple of terrific cover tackles when left as the last man and, as you say, he's got plenty of time to learn his trade.

Totally disagree. Great positional play with the exception of Leeds, and when Sinfield has time he is a great kicker.
Much better than Donlan at his career end spell. I also feel Pownall will be a great FB too - the riches we posess.

In my opinion, Stuart was always very reliable, but Gregg offers more flair.

None of them would hold a candle to Turley in my opinion. Fantastic support player, scored for fun, not a bad kicker either. Couldn't give too hoots whether he could tackle or catch or not.

Totally agree N Turley was awesome the full package his scoring record in RL was one of the best ever...but he,s long gone and young Greg has been outstanding this season he,s a exciting player and can score try,s out of nothing I would try and sign him up for at least 2 hrs the best is yet to come from the Mac

I think I'd give him a tad longer contract than just under a game and a half Iain

Turley, Donlan both great players but alas both gone, Pownall will be a class full back but he's doing OK on the wing learning his trade, McNally is the player of the moment and deserves a new contract all my own opinion of course.

 a slight slip of the magic finger Fred 3 years not 2 would be about right

Well here is my 4penneth.

Donlan and Turley have retired.

Greg is brill and to show ambition our club must get him for the future.

The post about him going to Haven or Barrow is guess work imo.

Oh' and just to go back to my original post 'and to annoy the Carolis'. Imo Gregg at 7 would be a great move and although Pownall has been great as a winger I feel he would be even better at fullback.

Turleys back on Sunday along with plenty other recent Leigh Heros as part of the new past players association launch.
Should get the crowd in a positive mood before the game as they are providing a 'guard of honour' for when the teams come out


.

I agree !!

Dave was the star player in a 24-0 win at HKR - the time we had about 12 sponsored fans coaches. He played stand off that day and IRC it was for the first time and he had a cracker but never got picked there again.

Not a bad try scoring ratio as well.

I'm really looking forward to sunday having missed the Sheffield game. Seeing all the old players to.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeigh.
