Comparing Leigh to Swinton and hunslets use of DR shows either ignorance or stupidity
Why you bring the subject up baffles me, how many games have you attended this season?

Jenky , I agree with you about Scott Taylor ,IF Scott plays as you so rightly say its about results and hopefully we can get the right one on Saturday evening , young Duffy is one for the Future , but the NRC Final is NOW ,I hope we see Scott in a Leigh jersey a few times before the season ends , but who knows .

As for Scott himself I know how much he enjoys playing for Leigh , and the look on his his face at Fev when we knocked them out of the NRC said it all , he WILL give 100% if selected on Saturday .

If Aspinwall was fit we wouldn't be using Taylor simple as that IMO. Duffy is a good player but lacks fitness & this game will be running at a fast intense speed which won't suite Duffy at all where as Taylor's FT fitness will be invaluable.

2 preferences for me would be either Taylor or Higson on the bench

Need the best and fittest 17 on Saturday no doubt about it and I will go with whatever PR decides. Its going to be hot hot hot !!!!!!!

HOT , HOT , HOT

that sort of weather wont suit the big men , lets run YERE off his feet , with Riddys kicking game , and Bob B and Penkys dashes from dummy half , give the seagulls a nightmare , we would soon have Mitch Stringer puffing and Blowing .

What about THIS BOARD ?

What about team moral, theres the rest of the season,to think about,I think its tight on young Ryan myself, but its the coaches call, so us and the rest of the team have to put up with it, why don't we, go the whole hog and select as many Wiganers as possible, just to please Graham

If Duffys fitness is a worry, we can have Spencer, Hoppy, Thornley and Parker no problem, if Taylor play it could mean Thornley also missing out and hes been, very very good recently.
Who would be a coach?

Thornley wouldn't lose out for me he's been solid I'd like to see-

1. McNally
2. Madden
3. Littler
4. Gardner
5. Pownhall
6. Riddy
7. Brierley
8. Ostick
9. Beswick
10. Parker
11. Finnigan
12. Goulden
13. Hopkins

14. Penky
15. Spencer
16. Thornley
17. Taylor/Higson

It would be a close call between Penky & Nico Penkys form has,nt been good but he's a big game player Nico on the other hand is in great form whenever he gets on and speeds the game up which in the heat on Sat in the stadium which could go up to the high 30s with the temp outside in the high 20;s could be the difference in playing Nico and possibly a full time Taylor

Well I have heard our lads are on a big bonus should they win on Saturday.

We have all seen the team spirit in our side and I am sure that bonus will be shared between all squad members whoever is selected.

Imo we are a club going in the right direction.

The nucleus of the team has already been signed for next season and from what I hear we will have a massive pack.

Its a forum where RL is discussed and you won't agree with everything that's posted.
You could put things forward that offers a different viewpoint or opinion to mine like Frank, Charlie and others have done but throwing insults is a bit silly don't you think.

As it goes I've been to every home game this season, and several away games....and I tend to agree with Jenky!!

I have no problem what so ever with Spencer being selected....lets be honest, the lad has already played more games for us than he'll ever play for W*gan, and is a Leyther in all but name (and lets hope - as they don't seem to rate him, that we get him signed up for next season!), but IMHO the potential inclusion of Taylor sends out the wrong message. He won't be there to plug an injury crisis gap, but will prevent a contracted Leigh player from playing in a final.....not what, we are always told, the DR system is about!!

If I was young Duffy, I'd be gutted if I was dropped from the final 17 to accomodate someone 'parachuted in' for one game!!

I wont let it spoil my enjoyment of the final if it happens, but feel the point needs to be made.

That said, if it does happen, lets hope that this might provide the spur to young Ryan to go 'hell for leather' in the close season, and work on the fitness which is still the question mark hanging over his game.....and come back next season determined to be our first choice front rower, and show everyone he is the player we all believe he can be!!

Same here

Charlie agrees with everything in this post

,as you say its very tough on Duffy , if hes not selected to play , and in his position I would be devastated , BUT again as you state it WILL inspire to get 100% fit for the coming games ,and next season move up a notch to try tp prove to Paul R he is worth a place in the starting 17 , its all about 1 game on Saturday , and for me , a choice between a Full time experienced player in Scott Taylor or part time Ryan Duffy , id go for Taylor EVERY TIME , no doubt .

Can't argue with any of this VL.

However, in Ryan's defence, I believe he did shed loads of weight in the close season, after signing for us. (Didn't Barrow have problems finding a shirt to fit him?!) Granted, he possibly still has some way to go - if he does miss out, there's always this season's GF to aim for!

Exactly

Duffy playing tonight

I commented on your comparison and the timing of it, as you say it's. a LRL forum. I also find a post that says all right young Taylor, I know you bust a gut v Feath to get us here but I don't want you playing for us in a final if selected
I stand by my comment and respect your reply

IMO it is the correct decision to play Taylor. I went to Fev, something I rarely do due to our embarrassing performances I've seen there in the past! When the team was read out I felt cheated a couple of players missing I thought we will slaughtered as usual! Wrong ! what a performance, for those who didn't see it, Taylor was awesome I'd never seen or heard of him before and whilst it was no one man performance, he was a major reason we won the tie! Play him Paul!

I am sorry Ryan isn't playing but for all the reasons posted Taylor is the best choice. Ryan has plenty more finals in him.

AJ made three try and looked very quick off the mark, something we need, I say move stu to second row over next couple of months and slot AJ in at centre
