| Quote: THECherry&Whites "This is getting silly now. We could register a Leigh A and B team and both would be competitive and have strength in depth! No excuses this year. Sheffield have a weaker squad this season and will be playing their home games on a ploughed field, Fax have a weaker squad and have the Harrison factor. Fev are weaker and have a lot of in house fighting. Only Batley seem to have strengthened.'"
 sheffield weaker please explain ? Fev weaker please explain ? Halifax weaker ?Batley Strengthened ? Please please explain ??
Sheffield added another big Menzie Yere type centre and a good prop in jones in with little change elsewhere to a championship winning side.
Featherstone offloaded finn and added 3 of Batleys top performers Flanagan, Moore & Hirst as well as Nicholson who is a very good prop from York who was devastating last season in a poor side......also they have added a big tongan centre who played NRL as well as some pretty good young prospects from Leeds and Warrington and also sam smeaton to return after missing all last season....They have added more size, power and pace so I wouldn't say they were weaker 
Halifax....again they have added a couple more of batley's better players whilst replacing the ashall's....johnson and brown will add something in the halves and also and cowling from wakefield will add to their lacklustre centre partnership...so weakened nah...
Batley.....losing 9 of their better players and replacing with mainly mediocre alternatives does not give me much hope so I dont know where your expectations come from ? I wish I had your enthusiasm for 2014 but I do not. Scott from York is a good addition to replace walmsley but the rest of the replacements dont cut it for me and mid table mediocrity for me this season i think whilst causing the odd upset here and there.
Now to Leigh.....i believe you have recruited very well and will be competing in the top 1-3 but to think that the usual suspects are going to be 'weaker' is a bit naive......and dont forget to win a grand final you have to win a play off game !! |

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

You could have saved typing all that and just put your last line. Other teams strengths matter not when we can't win a play off game.

Dont write Fev off......the nrl centre looks good and Hirst is a superb signing for them - add a top returning centre in Smeaton and you`ve got a good team.
Telling factor will be if the HB`s are as good without Finn.

Don't worry Quinny, I reckon you make a valid point with a very good post backed up with detail and reasoning rather than assumption |

Just to help you Paul try putting Jamie Acton as a centre.  |

Not surprised you posted that.
I was at Worky last season to watch my team lose.
