y r u dropping quite a few of your 1st teamers down to play in the 21s?

Probably due to the way some have been proforming, however on or two were the wrong ones dropped IMHO.

Presumably there are other clubs chasing him then?

seems we are the daft ones INHO

Trouble is Alan we could have tied him to a three year deal last year but the coach at the time only offered him a one year one.

I hear from a very good source he has already signed for Halifax for next season.

I thought Greenwood was the best full back in the league?

Or maybe they've given the coaching job to FrankB and he's going to play stand-off

If Leigh allow such a promising young player to leave then i,m gobsmacked i can honestly say with my hand on my heart
if this happens i will be picking my matches very very carefuly
for next season
MORTY IS LEIGH THRO n THRO WE SHOULD BE BUILDING AROUND PLAYERS LIKE MORT...

Good try lad but you,ll have to do better than that.

You are obviously upset about Penky leaving your lot during the close season.

Just wrote something about this on another thread, it WILL be a travesty if he goes its absolutely ridiculous! I for one am not happy at all and like i said on another topic Donlan wont be here forever and Morty is a young enthusiastic GOOD player that this club needs and should keep and if the club are even thinking along the lines of letting him go they should hang their heads in shame!Not happy ,not happy one iota and if you read this Leigh Centurions SHAME ON YOU! , and if you read this Morty DONT GO

Morty is the most obvious current example of the rewards reaped by our development of young players, just like Chris Hill & Jimmy Taylor a couple of years ago. He is obviously proud to wear the shirt, plays with passion, and shows that rare commodity in a Leigh player - pace. IMHO he's progressed quicker into the first team than I expected, has bags of confidence (which was Greenwood's biggest problem at times when he was with us) and is continuing to improve, even if he isn't the finished article in his position yet. As we said about Hilly & Jimmy a couple of years ago, he's exactly the sort of player we should be continuing to develop, signing on long contracts and aiming to build a team around for years to come. Even if a better player comes through behind him we'll always be showing our commitment to bringing the best young players through.

The debate about Donlan or Morty at FB has divided fans - personally I'm firmly in the Morty camp, but I can see the opposite argument as well. However, where will Donlan be in 2 years? 3? 4? He won't be a player we'll be wanting to pay top whack to and build a team around thats for sure. And we'll find ourselves scrabbling round the lower leagues for a fullback because while we massaged Donlan's SL ego we've let Morty, Dollin & co slip through our fingers like so many others before.

This season was supposed to be about youth (unless we were lied to as an excuse for not making any signings) but now we're favouring ageing SL & even NL players ahead of quality young players coming through. If we want to stick to the youth policy we should go with Morty and tell Donlan he plays where he's picked, not where he wants to play. If we let Morty go, use Nanyn as a kicker and Donlan at FB the fans will ask why the club lied about the so-called youth policy and why our signings were so poor. I wonder which it will be......
