Problem is with Leigh we sign quality players TKL Nanyn Moran etc etc we don't get value for money the speccies give em grief cos they arn't tearing up the league or we sign mediocre players who arn't big names and we get nowt from em. look at Batley no big names but a cracking team of mediocre players. if you ask me it boils down to our big club mentality and the high expectations the fans have every season. Whats the answer? i have spent 21 seasons trying to work that out oh and while i'm at it the answer isn't a team of leigh lads as much as some say it is!!

Ainscough will probably end up at Swinton, that's where he played on loan at the back end of last season.

Agreed

Since we had a handful of decent players in our SL season, there isnt one 'big name' player (particularly from abroad) who has £ for £ outplayed any of the lads we have brought through ourselves.

I'd sooner have a Ridyard over a O'Neil any day of the week even if it means being more reasonable with our expectations because we've a production line of Ridyards whilst a team full of the other is a one way route to insolvency.

Aaron heremaia

Best 7 since Tommy Martyn but one of Tony Bensons Junior Kiwis who hadnt yet made the grade and cost buttons.

The fans have a right to have their say about those because they have most definitely not tore up the league. I look forward to the young guns we have ripping this league to pieces. Under our coaching we have some excellent tallent coming through with a bit of carefull shopping we could have a young eager team that could give a SL team a scare n the CC.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeigh.

This is the problem again , building up expectation

I'm like Fred , expect nowt , then you are happily surprised

i dont remember us ever having an albino player LOL

Mort will go too Fax.......

Thought he was about 21 not 31 I wonder if Widnescare still interested...

I'll never understand letting Mort or Morrison go, and Alstead scored 12 tries in 17 games before he was relegated to the reserves.

I've gotta say Ian made some very strange decisions last season for me. We need some quality, everyone else seems to manage it apart from us. Maybe we've no money from paying Paul and Bibey to stroll around the pitch?

Morrison is way too light for a prop, no matter how hard he tries...

Mort just doesn't inspire confidence which is critical for a full back...

I guess the coaches see a bigger picture than we do. I've always reckoned that Mort has talent but needs some weaknesses addressing.(who doesn't?!) I like Morrison too, but he does need to bulk up a bit.

I'm with you on the quality issue - every team we play has got it - despite most enjoying lower gates than us. Still, let's wait to see what the squad building brings.

Maybe Mort will go to Halifax? If this is the case then good on the lad.
Mort played 3 games last season and as such never had a chance to claim a regular 1st team spot. Obviously Millward did not rate him? Maybe they did not agree on certain issues? However Mort is not a Leigh player and as such i wish him well wherever he plays. His record speaks for itself in terms of number of points scored and as such will be a useful, honest signing for a good number of teams.

did you know Dave Armistead is a big fan of DEATH METAL, A genre of music that makes Iron Maiden sound like Boyzone.
