I am still of the opinion that we need a Super League fullback, Hardaker ticks all the boxes and is my choice to fill the gap.

Last time I looked, they were not specialist fullbacks.

Reffy , my point being ,we can all speculate on who we would like to see playing in the Leigh team, it's a question of high hopes and just rumours, Leeds would want a very sizable fee for Hardaker,I agree I to would love to see him in our team ,I just can't see it happening, just as I can't see Watkins , Manfredi, or Ryan Hall or Sam Burgess.

Only your opinion Maurice about Greg, you are happy with him at full baCK for SL I'm personally not happy, Greg defence was subject in the Championship, it will be more under pressure next season,otherwise he will become a Buffet (help yourself)full back.
Again Maurice you state we need a couple of Centres, yet we have Brown, Tonga,Higson,Dawson, Smith and maybe Thompson who could cover,maybe we do need a couple of backs, but we Deffo need a strong full back who can tackle.I will await your Spin Doctor stance,Mo.

So we have 5 and a debutant to cover 4 spots, less spin and more common sense imo I believe the average tackles per game of a FB is 3, obviously the most important part of their game by a long way

Or a quick strong wing who could cover centre !
I would love to get Sio for that role & Maurice Blair for the pack if we can snatch them from KR.
Fullback does need to be looked at though, while Greg was great in the Championship he might/might not struggle in SL, personally I think he will be targeted by opposition.

Mo, I respect your opinion, and you are entitled to have views on what would be our best line up next season , we all obviously want a successful Leigh Centurions next season,I think debate and discussions are very healthy, I just feel a strong imposing full back will be needed next season,and maybe a bit of cover for Riddy and Drinky in case of injury, I do have faith in Jukesy and his Coaching Staff to highlight the positions we need to strengthen , and to Derek and Mike Norris to provine the funds for us to get the players we need.

We can cover with Higham, Reynolds, Patterson, McNally and Stewart if needed. Riddy and Drinkwater didn't look out of place in the 8's and there are not many great halves about

Opinions and debate are what forums should be about, life would be boring if we all thought the same

So, Mo, an FB making, say, 6 per game wouldn't be a plus? Our line is likely to be broken a good few times early next season (but hopefully less so as the troops become more SL battle hardened). For the record, I've always liked McNally and I hope that it works out for him. ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)
