Interestingly how many English players will Leigh field next season? asking for a friend

14 born here in the squad plus a Welshman, and Hansen who is a Leyther by marriage

14 then !!!

The stats tell a different story, he took the most carries out of everyone on the French team and joint most in total(17) and made more meters than anyone on the pitch except Jermaine McGilvary. In fact bergal had the most carries and meters for France for the whole tournament.

To be fair the lad hasn't any experience on any level,to just throw him in the deep end like that at International level has probably scared the life out of him. He maybe pacey,but hes nowhere near that level required yet,as was the fella on his inside.

A good pre-season,build some confidence back in him and lets see how he goes then.

So not grazing much it would seem. I say again, I look forward to seeing him pull on a Leyth shirt. He’s one of us now.

Far from it, it's no mean feat to a rack up more than 300m in gains across 3 matches, especially when 2 of them are England and Australia.

Impressive stats, for Ilias. Especially when you compare them with Peter Mata'utia's -= although nobody has commented on his World Cup yet. (admittedly only in one game) www.rugby-league.com/rlwc2017/match_report/54208

Think Peter Mata'utia was injured during that game as well

Hope it's nothing serious.

in that case , send him packing now then.

Personally, I think this lad has loads of potential to be a crowd pleaser at Leigh - and the same applies to his mate Jordan Dezaria. I look forward to seeing them both in action, this coming season.
