Or maybe they've given the coaching job to FrankB and he's going to play stand-off

If Leigh allow such a promising young player to leave then i,m gobsmacked i can honestly say with my hand on my heart
if this happens i will be picking my matches very very carefuly
for next season
MORTY IS LEIGH THRO n THRO WE SHOULD BE BUILDING AROUND PLAYERS LIKE MORT...

Good try lad but you,ll have to do better than that.

You are obviously upset about Penky leaving your lot during the close season.

Just wrote something about this on another thread, it WILL be a travesty if he goes its absolutely ridiculous! I for one am not happy at all and like i said on another topic Donlan wont be here forever and Morty is a young enthusiastic GOOD player that this club needs and should keep and if the club are even thinking along the lines of letting him go they should hang their heads in shame!Not happy ,not happy one iota and if you read this Leigh Centurions SHAME ON YOU! , and if you read this Morty DONT GO

Morty is the most obvious current example of the rewards reaped by our development of young players, just like Chris Hill & Jimmy Taylor a couple of years ago. He is obviously proud to wear the shirt, plays with passion, and shows that rare commodity in a Leigh player - pace. IMHO he's progressed quicker into the first team than I expected, has bags of confidence (which was Greenwood's biggest problem at times when he was with us) and is continuing to improve, even if he isn't the finished article in his position yet. As we said about Hilly & Jimmy a couple of years ago, he's exactly the sort of player we should be continuing to develop, signing on long contracts and aiming to build a team around for years to come. Even if a better player comes through behind him we'll always be showing our commitment to bringing the best young players through.

The debate about Donlan or Morty at FB has divided fans - personally I'm firmly in the Morty camp, but I can see the opposite argument as well. However, where will Donlan be in 2 years? 3? 4? He won't be a player we'll be wanting to pay top whack to and build a team around thats for sure. And we'll find ourselves scrabbling round the lower leagues for a fullback because while we massaged Donlan's SL ego we've let Morty, Dollin & co slip through our fingers like so many others before.

This season was supposed to be about youth (unless we were lied to as an excuse for not making any signings) but now we're favouring ageing SL & even NL players ahead of quality young players coming through. If we want to stick to the youth policy we should go with Morty and tell Donlan he plays where he's picked, not where he wants to play. If we let Morty go, use Nanyn as a kicker and Donlan at FB the fans will ask why the club lied about the so-called youth policy and why our signings were so poor. I wonder which it will be......

Good try yourself. Penky signed a two year deal with Fax the morning before the Leigh game. And thats not a rumour, thats fact.

If you say so Rafa

He is and Shad Royston is the 2nd best. But you can never have enough good players.

Everton are a small insignificant club btw.

Losing players to SL clubs you can just about accept, but losing them to fellow Championship clubs is not quite as easy to accept. Then again it would depend on who we get as a replacement. Now basing the quality of new signings on the last three years, I would say us fans will get the rough end of the deal. If they seriously want SL in 2012 we only have one season (next) to get it right, (at present I cannot see us reaching this years GF).

If we don't get it right, it will be two from Toulouse, Gateshead, Fax, Barrow and possibly Widnes.

I posted a while back regarding a certain business man trying or actually becoming a agent for 2 young leigh lads 1 being mort then going to leigh to try to double there wages which leigh cant afford so whaaat do we do ??????????

Its been done before Dave

As has been seen this season paying top dollar to players doesn't always work, we can only afford to pay what we can, if other clubs can pay more then so be it, but just remember the player in question last year would have signed a 20 year contract if offered but was only offered a 12 months one, ask yourselves who was responsible for that?
