| Quote: PlayTheBall "According to RL Express this week - Cameron Pitman has picked up a groin injury and is waiting to see a Specialist.
We have waited a long long time at Leigh for a management team that have the strategic vision that these guys possess. They are clearly also ready and able to respond quickly to situations as and when they arise.
I sincerely hope we can make it into Super League this season as the management team are, without any doubt, doing everthing in their power to make it happen.
In the meantime we need to continue to enjoy a great ride and to trust the management team in their decision making.
Best wishes to both Cameron Pitman and Michael Platt for speedy recoveries from their injuries.'"
Good post PTB.

| He has to be better than what Leigh have at present otherwise it's either a sideways or even a backwards step.
I can't see the management getting it so wrong.

| Welcome to Leigh,
Adding players with SL experience to an all ready talented squad just as we start the business end of the season looks like good business to me.

| Quote: Cokey "Hi Ian, After reading the OP, It's quite evident that the club have done some homework, and are being pro-active with platty's injury. But like you say your opinion shall be reserved until you see him play. Me personally Ian I think his attributes so far will do for me.'"
Good Evening Derek, hope you had a good Holiday?I will look forward to seeing you in the next series of Benidorm .
Getting back to this new signing, I'm not knocking the bloke or his signing for the Club, all I'm saying is he could turn out to be just an average player, I hope not though,and like everyone else I look forward to seeing him.Tom Armstrong took a bit of stick on Sunday from some Leythers , but for me the guy is one of my favorite players , he is class,the Club seem to be fully committed to signing players when they think they are needed and we must commend them for this,the season will get much harder in the coming weeks and we MUST be ready to compete.

| Quote: Leigh Centurions "Leigh Centurions are pleased to confirm the immediate signing of France international centre Mathias Pala from the Catalans Dragons.
The Club has paid a nominal transfer fee to secure Pala’s services. The 26-year-old joins the Centurions on a contract up until the end of 2016 with the Club having the option of a further year.
Born in Limoux of Italian descent, Pala came through the ranks of his home town club and has also played for Balmain Tigers in Australia and St Esteve. He made his Super League debut for the Dragons against Bradford Bulls in 2011 and has made 33 appearances for the club, scoring four tries.
Pala made his international debut for France against England in 2011 and missed out on the 2013 World Cup due to injury. He played for France against Ireland, Wales and Scotland in the 2014 European Championship series, featuring in the final two games as fullback and scoring two tries in the victory over Wales.

| Hello Leigh fans.I have seen M.Pala on several occasions and here is my opinion of him.In attack he is very impressive.If you look up Morgan Escare's wonder try at Wigan last year you will see Pala at his best.But-and I know you have guessed this was coming-like most French backs he is very poor under the high ball and his defensive positioning often leaves him in no man's land or joining a 3 or 4 man tackle for no good reason and with bad consequences . That is why he rarely and rightly starts at Premier League level.So I think he will be a very good signing for you at your current level of domination,but you should reassess if you get promotion.

For a member of the spelling police, that is a mess.

Thanks for the report..The thing that stands out for me is the amount of game time hes had (or rather not had) that couldn't have helped his confidence or his game.Time will tell I suppose.
