Duffy would not be playing pro RL if he wasn't fit.

One aspect of his game the coaching staff will be working on his getting back into the defensive line a bit quicker.

He is a great prospect and only 20. He will improve with our coaching set up. Be patient.

This lad will prove you wrong.

Good evening Francis , hope you are well ?Charlie wants all our players to do well , as for myself ?Clowns are well known for their patience like you are well known for your Discretion , see you at the week-end .

I have the upmost respect for any player pulling on a shirt and Ryan is only 20 and has great potential and people on here who call themselves fans, should quit dishing players on here, as Ive said before their families come on here, some post, some dont and its not very nice at all to read negative comments about their son.

Who will be first with the 'It's a free country and they are entitled to their opinions'

All players will get praise or a slagging off, not much different from normal life. I'm sure the players would be immune from the odd negative comment and accept the accolades from the positive comments, likewise should siblings, family.
Imo

I don't think he's fit enough to play in the Championship. He'll be at a lower ranked team than Leigh in 2 years time.

John Cookson all over again. John had the same, if not more potential than Duffy IMO.

Didnt John take time out to pursue his accountancy or legal career? Or was that Matt thingy?

All matters of opinion, I liked John cookson very much, he just wasn't used properley.

My Gran always said "If you cant say anything good , dont say anything at all", this should apply to all players and their families IMHO.

However 'good' they are, or not, they ALL still have my massive respect for having the guts to step over that white line on game day.

Here. Here.

I agree there Alan I wouldn't want the likes of Menzie Yere running at me so respect has to be given for getting on the field in such a brutal game.

Going to be an exciting season next year as teams vie for the top places and the bigger funding. Sheffield will probably keep much of the same team and looks like Leigh will as well with a few more decent signings and then Fax and Fev are having a big clear out and spending big aiming for the top 2. With some of the signings rumored it wont be any surprise to see people asking how on earth those two teams are keeping under the salary cap.

Cooky was the stand out player in our U 18/19 s rated higher than Hilly and jimmy taylor by some regular observers , and in our 1 st match at the LSV caused Salford a whole load of problems [ their players rated him as our most ' problematic ' player in that game ]

Not having seen that much of Duffy , I was amazed that he manages to make the Leigh squad given Pauls opinions on fitness , and he doesn't have the variation of skills that Cooky possessed

Shame about John , personally I dont think he was given a fair chance , I heard so often how he was targeted by attackers and that he missed tackles , and yet I kept a particular eye on him in games and he performed at least as well as the rest of our props as regards being caught out in defence , what I do remember is lots of frustration on his part when coming on for spells and making lots of runs , only to be ignored , quite often not recieving a single ball off our hookers over several sets

Agreed 100%
I played in an open aged kick and clap friendly game yesterday after many, many years of just watching and having opinions. I had truly forgotten how hard it can be to convince yourself to go 100% into the tackle of a snorting beast of a 20something year old who doesn't know the meaning of "don't kill the old guys".
I will still however give what I see as respectfully worded, constructive criticism on players. Always with a mind on the thought that I was never good enough in my day, and I support anyone the coach deems good enough to pull on the Leythers shirt on the pitch.
