Quote: FredParky "Where does it say that he has been released? Nowhere, as Leigh have not officially said who have been released or retained as of yet.
AFAIK he is still on contract until the end of 2011, with a bit of luck our Dave will be having a word with Basil tomorrow for the Journal, and don't let this get into an 'I don't get the Journal' tirade please, then again I suppose we haven't had that one for at least five minutes.'"


they can always read it online anyway icon_thumb.gif

Quote: THECherry&Whites "Gives us a quicker play the ball than any other of our front rowers, allowing a quick thinking dummy half to catch defenders off-side and move us up the field further. Also has good ball handling skills. Don't have a problem with Ricky personally, adds another dimension to our front row options.'"


Exactly.

Taking a drive isnt always about trying to smash through the tackle with 6 men hanging off you every time. Big Frank does this at Fax, which is why he manages about 15 minutes a game.

It's also about a quick few yards, not getting put on your back, and playing the ball quickly. Bibey does this for 60 minutes week in week out.

Looking forward to next season already! Leyther and Loyal:1972.jpg



The more Leigh lads the better in my book and I'm looking forward to seeing the development of Sam Hopkins, Jon Pownall and Anthony Nicholson next season.

Quote: mr. chairman "cant believe people are having a go at leigh lads , morty, jimmy and ricky are genuine good leigh lads with bags of talent , we wonder why young leigh lads sign for other clubs.'"

Not having a go at all ,i said i didn't understand his game but after reading a couple of post i understand his role better and will view his input differently in the future

Second home the gym:



Quote: MH79 "If Hilly signed for a SL club and started training full time, he'd soon bulk up sufficiently to make the grade. It didn't take Micky Higham long to muscle up!'"

Believe me Hilly is not small by any means, and trains hard on the weights at the gym, but like you say with SL training he would be huge in my opinion. By the way the last time i spoke to him, it was a few weeks back mind, he wasn't going anywhere, whether or not that has changed i don't know.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



I'm sure JT will want to stay so it's up to Ian and the club. I'd imagine if they weren't going to offer him a deal he'd have gone with the others, the same goes for Stu Donlan.

Bolton by birth, Irish by blood, LEYTHER by heart and soul!! [quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3] [quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people. As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg



JT is our defensive bedrock - the man is a tackle machine!!
What I don't get is why folk think it has to be either/or with Taylor and Goulden!!
Tommy is more than just a grafter IMHO - he makes the breaks, has a good off-load, and reads the game well.
For me - I'd leave JT in the 2nd row, and bring another attacking 2nd row alongside him......there must be someone out there in the 'Sid' mould we could snap up, or promote from within??
I'd then stick Tommy in at loose - where I believe he has played before, at previous clubs. OK, he's not gonna be the next Adam Bristow, but I think he can offer more than just the role of 'workhorse'!!

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



Quote: Mr Mad "i believe taylor as been offered a contract for next season, he doesnt kno wer or how the rumour about him goin started'"


Stupid stirrers on here I would expect. I reckon every rumour should be recorded along with the rumourmonger, then they get stupidity marks for how true or not it is. In other words if its total codswallop they get 10 points. For a 'rumour' that turns out to be true 0 points.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



While I am rarely totally happy with the coming and goings in the off season , I will wish my favourites that leave all the best and will try to be patient with the new arrivals [ except if it's ***** ]

It's a forum, people will post things until the club tell us otherwise. It's happened for years and will continue to do so. You just gotta go with it and form your own opinions.
