Exactly why the pair of them are in the same team. Dave is an offload merchant and Chris is a yards merchant. We need the pair and when the both of them have blinders we will crucifi somebody.

Chris Hill is probably our second highest offloaded, a number of times this season has he got it away to Jock who has looked to expose the gaps. He's probably made by far the most yards in the team as well.

But you aren't comparing like for like, as whenever Armistead is in the front row he's playing out of position. It's like saying Watson is a better back than Alstead.

Exactly, two different type of players. Dave is effective when we have people aware and pushing up with him giving him an option to offload. Very good ball handler ( icon_lol.gif ) and he's got a good short range kicking game. Certainly an asset to the side when fully fit. I don't think we've seen him fully fit or at his best yet.

I agree on this one icon_lol.gif Armistead has been a solid performer all season and he's doing it on leg.

For those of you critisising Dave just remember Adam Bristow. I was one of Adam's biddest critics early in his Leigh career. Boy was I made to eat my words by the time he left.

Hopefully Dave will do the same to you

Those are big boots to fill but I hope he does it.

=========================================
Are you tellin me you are happy with the standard of rugby played at Leigh this season icon_eek.gif Its shocking slow motion RL basic skill levels are poor I watch the Aussie game and have done ever since it came on TV in this country if Paul Rowley gets the team playing anything like the Aussies do i will be well happy Armi try,s hard but lets face facts the fowards at Leigh are not punching through they dont look big or strong
enough look at the points for & against it tells the whole story of the way we play Going back to Armistead he always gives 100% but the bloke
does,nt look fit and in my opinion if people on here think he is our best forward we are in a bad way its no good having someone lumberin up
and trying to off-load when most of the team dont understand the meaning of following the man with the ball they are stood still most of the time .I not critisising Dave A or any other player but this season i thought we would have gone on and made a big impact with the new Stadium ect ect what ive seen so far this season is a average side with average players
playing at times RL of a poor standard , I think P Rowley will get the team playing some better rugby over the next few months but only if he brings in two experienced forwards who can break the line then maybe
Armistead / Hill will start to put players through gaps when they can cut down on their workload and put their energy levels to better use instead of trying to play like front row forwards both these players would be more effective running out wide linkin up with the backs ...
Roll on Halifax we cant play as bad as we did last Thursday first half
and after watching Halifax last week against Donny they are well beatable
if we cut out dumb plays and respect posession..

I'm not into public fronts but I would have liked to have seen Paul in Leigh kit and not a suit for a game at Fev. To see him in a suit and Knoxy in training gear was funny. It looked like Don Corleonne and Forrest Gump.
Joking but get the team right before your TV look.

good point, but thats your "profession" coming out, which no member of the club, coach, director or player would have thought about
