In terms of long term planning, Chris Hill's signature is 10 times more valuable than Robbie's, who's career is winding down.

| To be honest I don't think anyone is saying the re-signing was not important. I think its the announcement that there would be an announcement bit that was just a bit confusing after the announcement was made. Would have been better to just do the normal thing of announcing it like other clubs (for players that have exteded their contract) do before the game so the lad could have received even more adulation from the fans when entering the pitch. Simples.  |

I think the news was important and I'm glad it was handled like it was. I agree with aparky in that Chris's signature is more valuable than Robbies and I think the fact that he has re-signed shows loyalty and commitment to Leigh when we all know that Super League clubs have been banging on the door for his signature.
Ian Millward said in his speech about Chris that he thought he was a future international player and I for one am very grateful to him for sticking with Leigh.

TBF the clubs that were after him were Widnes, Salford and Crusaders. They were all offering one year deals so it was a no brainer for him. He has a SL clause in his new contract should a bigger club ever come in for him. |

it was actually huddersfield, wakefield and warrington, but they were only one year deals. His desision to sign for Leigh again was security for two year for him and his family. Plus the coaching from Milward, wont get any better from any other national league coach. |

Only three of the SL top 6 then? Says a lot for Leigh, and Chris, that he wants to stay. |

He will get more games at Leigh. At 22 he is still learning and now with a good coach. Will probably follow IM to his next club whenever that may be.
