Quote: fevfan76 "Will split opinion among fev fans, there's no doubting he's a good player but could be a whole lot better. Its as good to put the winger over as it to score yourself. For Greg passing is a last resort, only passing when he's realised he wont score himself. More often than not, by then the chance has gone.

Personally I would be more gutted if it was Mendeika, but I would still have liked to keep Greg. His major fault is something that can be worked on, its not as if he cant tackle or he's too weak, too slow etc. just needs to change his mentality.
'"


This makes me laugh. Greedy, my backside. Didn't he not set Will Sharp in for 3 tries in one game.

Good luck to Greg, he's been miss managed all season, lost a lot of his confidence (like most of the team). He showed tremendous progress under Daryl, Danny & Sean Long. I think, if he has signed for Leigh, then Paul Rowley will get him back on the right path.

If all agreed, a brilliant signing for Leigh.

Agree, Greg's a top player and I don't think most Fev fans would say he's greedy at all. His first instinct is probably to run rather than pass but he usually backs it up and plays well above his weight in terms of bumping defenders off. He does seem to come in for a lot of stick from the opposition and often seems to be carrying a knock here or there and an off-season to get full fitness might be all he needs. His anticipation in defence has become a real asset too. Charlie, Sam Smeaton has played very well against Leigh in the past (as has Greg!) and was a really solid centre for us, but Sam's injury was a very bad one that took forever to sort out and it remains to be seen whether he can get back to his old form, and you'd definitely want Greg over Sam at this stage, desperately disappointing for us that we are having to let him go.

he's not greedy because he once passed it 3 times in a game, ffs

Typical of some Fev Fans, you can't criticise any player who has been at the club for more than 3 years. Its pathetic, that's why were stuck with Spears, Locky, kain, hardman and the likes of Leigh have left us behind. Its a Joke some of our fans wont criticise players for anything they do on the pitch because they have their photo's taken with them in the club house etc.

A perfect example, Moore has been our best half back all season but has been ripped to shreds until the last few weeks. No one would give him a chance at start of season because he had been brought in to replace Finn (which wasn't Moores fault). Yet no one will criticise kain who has been absolutely awful all season and is no longer good enough.

If you bother to read my whole post and not just the part that has been quoted on this page you see that I say Greg is a decent player and I would rather keep him. I Pointed out a weakness in his game which most Fev fans I have spoken to think exactly the same. Its a criticism of a part of his game which can be improved on, im not saying he's crap, good riddance etc. I was trying to give the Leigh fans a fair assessment of the player they may be getting.

You just keep thinking everything is all ok, all players who are part of the furniture are perfect absolutely no fault what so ever.

Leigh fans your getting the perfect centre. cant fault the lad, better than Newlove.

Sorry fevfan76 but you're well wide of the mark. Disagreeing with you about calling a player "greedy" has got nothing to do with being reluctant to criticise other players. Indeed, there are some long-serving players that I wouldn't be sorry to see go this off-season, if we are in a position to get better players, however much I might admire their efforts for us over the years.

So your bizarre rants about other players are irrelevant - my post had nothing to do with any other players (and incidentally, in my opinion most fans changing their views about Moore is simply down to the fact that he has played far, far better over the last few weeks than earlier in the season - I don't know any Fev fans who would disagree with that). I was simply pointing out that I didn't agree with your comment about Greg being very, very greedy, and to suggest that anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because of having photos taken in the clubhouse etc is childish.

In my opinion our success this year hasn't come from our players being miles better than everyone else, rather that Rowley has got them all playing as a team almost perfectly. I don't know much about Worthington but if he is a bit greedy I'm sure that'll stop once he gets into the culture Rowley has created at the club, it'll probably have to.

I don't really know anything about this lad - is he really worth paying a transfer fee for?

Which is why I asked if he's REALLY that good that we've paid a transfer fee for him. We've signed some top players over the last couple of years, none of which (as far as was reported) we paid a transfer fee for. It was a genuine question.

None have still been on contract tho which has been the fee driver. Everyone I've spoke to this week who have either played with him or coached him at junior and professional level can't speak highly enough of him!
