| Getting back on topic Higson is no great lose.
He was never in same league as the DRs from Wire and Saints.
Good grafter good tackler but we could pick better up from the amateur game on less money IMO.

Andy Ruane one of the best defensive hookers ive seen at Leigh.
40/50 tackles every single game in an era were hookers played the full 80.

Dainty came in from East didnt he with Tommy Hayes who was a favourite of mine.
That East team that played Bradford at HP and nearly turned them over had some quallity around that time.
Gunner and Sean Penkys Dad just to name a few.

| Andy Ruane was a master of kicking from acting half if there had been 40/20s then he would of been a world beater one very windy Wednesday night at HP v Oldham he kicked about 6. Gary Pendlebury played full back that game for the record.

Remember it very well stood on the ASDA end and never seen weather like it.
Joe Grima played for Oldham at Prop if memory serves me right almost certain Player/ Chairman TC came off the bench but may be wrong.

| Higson is a good player and will be missed BUT.......he`s a squad/bench player and not a 1st chioce starter. Better players on the market who we should consider - Goddard/Greenwood/Hulme/Gaskell.......the list goes on.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| Thanks for the efforts AJ but for us Leythers its onwards and upwards.

| Always thought he was overated by some of the Leigh fans who used to go over the top about his performances. Decent squad player, nothing more. Was given a very good long term contract when he burst onto the scene, but never seemed to progress after he signed that deal. Maybe he was payed too much too young and his focus went off his game.

Iremember young Jason ,attending a crisis fans meeting , on the pitch at Hilton Park , the lad was very close to tears , but promised to play for us ,and did well that season,another time under Murph , we went into payments difficulties AGAIN , and lost most of the team , we ended up playing with 6 scrum halves one match , so i dont despair , we WILL rise and be successful again , as for the players leaving , their loss ,AJ WHO ARE YA?

| He wasn't paid a fortune, I think it was a question of too many injuries too little game time and he lost the coaches respect big time.
