Well Charlie, I have seen a young Ian Watson give an on field master class in scrum half play on many occasions for Salford, Widnes and may I add against some of the worlds best 7's whilst playing for Wales.

Even in his later years at Leigh and from watching him at close hand, He was still great at marshalling the troops and directing us round the park with more than a decent kicking game on him as well.

A most talented and under rated scrum half for me. I would not mind an up and coming 19/20 year old clone in our ranks next year.

The poll has now closed and we have a winner!!

All will be revealed at the Presentation Evening this Thursday (3rd October). If you haven't yet got your tickets you can get them from the club office or the Market and they're only £20.

I urge supporters to get behind this event. If it's anything like last year's it will be a superb evening, with the added bonus that this one will be at OUR HOME. Now's your chance to mix with the players/coaching staff, and show your appreciation for their efforts this season.

The winner of the Leighlife Fans' Player of the Year 2013 award went to Tom Spencer.

He was both surprised and delighted and said it meant a lot that the fans had voted for him.

Well done kiddo.

It worked out great that didn't it.

Nice to see Tom there too.

Gutted that a few of the players were away, Riddy and Ryan in particular as theyv'e been a big part in our sucess this year.

Well congratulations to Tom. He certainly has had a great season.
