Maitua, higson and spencer would be in for me. Since bradford higson has been our best threequarter. I would not play burns unless we get injuries. Are we good enough, i think we can do it, but its going to be seriously tough, but we are in a far stronger position to last year.

I agree with almost all of that, although I suspect there are currently more players above Tom in the prop pecking order. (MoiMoi, Weston, Tickle, Acton, Hopkins, or even the likes of Hock or Hansen) |

That would have been a very good SL pack 2 or 3 years ago.

First 17 from the first page, apart from Dixon or Acton out, maitua in. Bags some vital tries, gives us much more strike on the edges than either of the other two.

Big Willie was fit four weeks ago, the physios and coaches have been getting his game fitness up and working on preventing the injuries recurring with special sessions for him. Great "new" signing for the 8's!

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can.

Jukes has a hell of hard job in 2 weeks time. So many options to juggle all of a sudden. AJ has looked great lately but can he hold on to a spot with the talent we have just signed and the players who have just come back from injury. Travis Burns will struggle to get a start probably, as will several other quality players.

I DO think it would have been a very good SL pack 2 or 3 years ago, but now it is even better,and the halves and backs are BETTER to,you at Fax should feel relieved you won't have to face us for a long time. |

Hi charlie, I think its ambitious to say they are better now as all those players careers seem to be on the way down. I always look forward to our games against Leigh and am a little bit sad that we wont play them in the middle 8's but I look forward to seeing my friends from Leigh again next season.

Greg for all the wind ups and Banter, I still respect Fax and the opinions of your good self, it's a case of Que Sera Sera what happens in the 8's and next season, for now we Leythers will enjoy the ride,and if it means another trip to the Shay next season then so be it,as well as a Clown ,I'm a realist and know how hard the job in hand is.Take care.  |
