He either moves to centre or goes for me personally he'll get mullered out wide by the likes of Sheffield. He's been vital while we've had/having our injury crisis but with a bigger squad & pack recruited we wouldn't be as reliant on his drives. We've been wanting pace out wide for years so we either get that rectified or continue to moan about the same problems year after year & get caught out it sure does feel like groundhog day as a Leigh supporter.

Would think Workington will manage to have first dibs on him, but I'd have him in a flash.

Mado plays his 200th game on Thursday it puts him in the top 58th of all time appearances for the club and is in the top 25 of club try scorers, I for one hope he gets 300, keep it up Steve some of us appreciate your efforts over the years, and still one of the first names on the team sheet.

Fred I agree Steve M has been a very good servant to Leigh , but he has lost his pace now , and theres no room for sentiment in Professional Sport , in my opinion and it is only my opinion mind you , I would call a Taxi for a few of our Squad next season , for me its going to be onwards and upwards , we MUST compete with Fev , the Seagulls ,and Fax.

It is not so much Steve's lack of pace as the general lack of pace in the team - if we had two or three flyers then it wouldn't be an issue.

Plus, if we are relying on a winger for yardage then there's another problem!

All we need is someone who can run 100 metres in under 10 seconds ,it wont matter whether he can pass the ball or not then, just needs to catch n run lol

Well one of our forwards might make 10 metres in 100 seconds.

If we had a bigger pack they'd make the impact & the yardage Mado does & even increasing the squad by even a couple & we'd be able rotate the squad with fresh players coming in energized & trying to claim their spot. IMO I still don't think we've replaced Bibey yet when both Parker & Bibey played together our pack was fierce. What I was trying to say Charlie has already put 'there's no room for sentiment' it's not being ruthless but it's business

Take the 100 in 10 secs out & it sounds like Spencer LOL

Lack of size in the forwards & the size of our squad doesn't help either. Jimmy Taylor gets through some work it's a shame we might not see him again this season he could of helped share the work load in attack & defense.

They didn't on Sunday against York

Not to worry Parker will be back soon he's like a winger trapped in a prop's body Seriously though he's bloody quick for the size of him I'll be glad when he's back marshalling the boys round the park

Really hope Jamie coming back is true. For me Ryan's a great weapon to have in any team, and when we've used him off the bench before I don't think we used him enough. But when he's stood out for me it's been as a finisher rather than a playmaker and organiser to compliment Riddy as a regular starter in the halves.

Re: wingers, if we played an expansive game I'd be crying out for more pace, but playing so much up the middle I think a fast winger would be a luxury that would be wasted on us. We'd be better spending any money beefing up our pack, especially in light of Hoppy's upcoming move to the dark side of the borough. I think we have a good long term wing prospect in Hill, so as long as we continue to develop him with increasing opportunities in the side, I wouldn't be in any rush to get rid of Mado. I agree there's no room for sentiment and he might not be getting any quicker but he's almost always solid & dependable. A player who's strong in both areas is probably out of our price range, so I say play to our strengths in terms of the way we play the game, and Mado fits that at the moment.

Steve Maden never put's a foot wrong in a Leigh shirt and is very hungry for work. He takes huge pressure off the forwards and quite often has made 2 or 3 drives up field achieving the hard yards associated with them whilst some of the forwards are still getting back in position.

On Sunday, He took his try superbly well in the first half. A player of lesser experience or ability could possibly have fumbled that one.

Steve Maden would not come anywhere close to beating Duane Chambers in a foot race but I know who the more effective winger is !!

having watched Hill all season he is no faster than Maddo
