Did he comment on the signing Derek?

Maybe it will be on the official site when PR gets back from his holiday.

A Widnes fan told me about Coyle last week incidentally.

It did read that way yes.

He signed last Tuesday

Average player and quiet a few of our u20s looked better.

We should give the lad a chance to show what he can do , as always it will keep the other players on their toes , and they will know their place is at risk if they dont come up with the goods .

As has been pointed out on here Coyle was in the Barrow team that Saturday night when we lost by a Cricket score .

It was James Coyle (his brother) who got a pile of tries against us for Barrow that night.

How many written off players have Leigh signed in the past few seasons that have turned out to be cracking players?

Gallagher, Gardner, Mills, Ostick, Goulden, Nanyn, Bibey off the top of my head.

Either playing in front of fans that will give players low on confidence a chance makes a difference, or playing in stadiums where they can't breathe is a hinderance.

People would prefer to 'bag' players than wait and see Jonny.

Fred it has nothing to do with "Bagging " players , we all have our own oppinions about players i remember yours about Richard Varkulis

,in my oppinion a very good player , but apparently not one you rated .

As for Coyle im prepared to give him a chance , as i do with everyone who puts on a Leigh shirt , they are LEIGH , players then and get my support .

I've always thought he would be a Leigh player one day, as soon as PR got on the coaching ladder. I think PR sees a bit of himself in Coyle, a cheeky, opinionated, wind up merchant that gets in people's faces on the field. You could see the nods and winks between them every time we battered Widnes so there's a lot of recent history to remember there!

Macraff Leuluai next as he has been average in a Widnes shirt.Good luck to Coyle but i have never rated him.
