Not that important that it needed to be kept secret and announced the way it was. Just tell us for gods sake! Delighted he's staying though and shows we are heading in the right direction.

It did cause a lot of speculation on here though.

I'm over the moon the club has got Chris's signature and thanks Chris for staying with us, but a little over hyped if you ask me. Remember the little boy who cried wolf.

I am delighted with this news.
Chris deserves this sort announcement, its like a new signing for next season in a way, lets face it, Chris is a SL prop, and too stay with us is Big news. He could have gone for the pot of gold and gone elsewere.
Anyone not delighted by the news, isnt a leigh fan simple.
Thankyou chris!

Definitely good news but over hyped. A simple statement would have sufficed and killed speculation on various other possibilities.

It kept us on our toes though.

If people speculate and come to all sorts of conclusions, then the club can't help that!

Was it not preferable thought to the usual way these things happen? Where somebody who can't hold their own water comes on here and blerts it into the public domain, often before everything is finalised, and then the club gets it in the neck for being slow on the release of the news?

Your right Dave, Chris does deserve a big up for re-signing but personally it would have been fitting for it to be done in the centre of the pitch in front of all the fans who adore him. If it were me the applause of 2000 fans would make me feel more special.

That would have been a good idea actually.

personally not bothered how it was announced the main thing is Hilly has signed for 2 more years very god news imo

what dull atmosphere?

1st half was really dull. Kicked out on the full from kick off and then 25 minutes of slow, boring, error-strewn rugby just seemed to kill the atmosphere before it even started. Picked up as the game went on though.
