This seems to be getting out of proportion. Obviously people have differing views on all players. Whatever your view on Adam, we couldn't afford to offer him the pay deal he wanted. As long as his demands remain the same, and someone else can meet them, I suspect the outcome will be the same next season.

For what it's worth I'm pleased for the lad that he's getting regular first team rugby and evidently playing well. Good luck to him.

Whoever slates Higson's defence has a screw loose! That was the one thing he did well at consistently! I always felt that when he played instead of nanyn we looked much safer without the ball in hand, although we lacked a lot ball in hand! Not a great player by any means, but for me he should have been retained as he is a good solid all-rounder. It goes without saying that sometimes you need flair and skill, but you also need whole-hearted players like Higson in any team.

IMO Higson is a good player & is excellent in attact at this level. I respect peoples opinions but I don't understand why people are taking the mick saying along the lines of it must be his family members on here to say they like him'. Can you not have an opinion about someone with out being mocked?




Lots of love Nicky Stantons dad apparently

Anyone got a link? Can never find stuff like this on the net as hard as i look.

You could be right with the nine tries Blackhead. I read in League Express last week that he had four and I know he got another two against York. I suspect he may have 6 tries in the league, but possibly 9 in all comps.

Four pages this thread has gone to now!!

AJ was a handy addition to our squad. In the opinion of the previous coach, he was not a first choice centre, so his apperances were limited. He was dogged by injury, which would have also hampered his progress.

I know nothing surrounding the circumstances of his departure. Whether he decided to sign for Swinton before Leigh were in a position to offer deals to anyone, or, as has been suggested on here, he was not offered the opportunity to stay, I cannot comment.

I am pleased he appears fit, and is performing well at his new club, but can honestly say that I don't think we are any less a team, or squad, for the want of his services.

I suspect that he will probably return to Leigh at some point, but I hope that if/when he does it is a decision based on his perceived value to the squad than out of some sentimentality based on 'birth-right'!!

calm down owd cock. He aint a centre in my opinion and tackles better when assisted. Leigh raped his side this season and menzie yere was fed up running over him in last seasons play off game. Like mort, adam will be one of swintons best players but he aint a patch on leighs current back line. Why waste money on a squad player? More meat, if will be a devastating second rower in 5 years.

Ha! As I said earlier, I am perfectly calm thanks. I just happen to totally disagree with you that is all. Let us now switch our focus to Leigh v Leeds.

Thats fine. Now whats your prediction ? I will do my best to disagree with that too ! Lol
