| My responses became flippant when you made the statement that we would have beaten Catalan with Mick on. Can I ask how you know this?

On balance there are plusses and minusses.
How good is Thornley now how good is Hopkins How good is Oh I could mention a few more and you know it too.'"
Higsons about 25 isnt he?.nanyn is 28.
Nanyn kicks goals and scores tries for fun.
Higson is getting better all the time and his time will come.
underthesticks obviously has a problem with nanyn and i dont understand why when nanyn has been a top performer for us this season.

| Quote: underthesticks "Both good players. I think Higson is young, fit, fast, good in attack, committed in defence, busting to play for Leigh, has bags of heart and guts. He also had a cracking game in our last outing and I think with a good coach such as Basil, he will only get better. Has a lot more potential in my opinion. He just needs to play regular first team rugby in order to improve. At his age , he needs first team if he is to get any better, even if it means trying his hand elsewhere.'"
Well i hope you have no influence over him because if he goes elsewere it will be downwards not upwards.

No , your ' flippancy ' started on page 4 well before I joined the debate , you suggested that Mick would get into the team in front of among others Mal Meninga and Kevin Iro , you obviously either are related to Adam or have a dislike for Mick
As for my statement , it was as I have already posted an opinion , I'd suggest a more credible one than saying Mick is better than Menninga and Gasnier , wouldn't you say , or that if Ian was to move up to SL he should take Mick with him , as good as he has been at our level fir several years , I don't personally think he could compete in SL , maybe you know better , I'd ring Tony Smith if I were you

| How many times do I have to say, I just believe that there is a lot of good competition for places at centre this year. My point is, the men in form should be picked and there should not be any AUTOMATIC selections. I have never said anything about Higson playing in SL. I rate Blythe, Evans and Armstrong and they have all played SL this year, so both Mick and Adam and anyone else going for the centre spot have some very stiff competition. If either one of them nails down an almost automatic spot, they are doing very well. By the way, all this about the coach having the final say. I think that is pretty obvious and as I say, as a person who hardly ever misses a match, I will obviously continue to support Millward ,Nanyn, Higson and all the others all the way. Once they pull on the Leigh shirt, I am behind them. As you say, we are all entitled to our opinions.

Nobody is an automatic pick , Ian Millward doesn't work like that
No you haven't posted anything about Adam playing SL , I haven't suggested you had , you suggested Mick could go and play SL if Ian decided to take him with him , which you will now see , was a pretty stupid thing to suggest

| Now you have reassured me that nobody is an automatic pick, I can settle. With lots of players vying for the centre spots, we should see all of the players getting a chance. Excellent. Now you have told me that, I am happy. I no longer feel the need to discuss this topic. Thank you and goodnight.

| I dont care what anyone says,if nanyn is fit and on top of his game he would be starting every week for me,along side CH,TG,SL,JT SD,etc.
We're fortunate we have a good squad this season and the DCs.
Why we are questioning the coaches reasons for picking or not picking certain players is beyond me.

My point exactly jc , we are unbeaten outside SL opposition , and every player must want to play every game , unfortunatly that doesn't always work out , Pro Sport is a hard business and you cannot please everybody

| Adam is 22 my argument isn't whether he plays instead of Nanyn, i have him on before a dual reg player.
However Ian will pick the team he thinks will beat Sheffield!

| Nanyn is a proven goalkicker. Every side really does need one of them.

| There is an awful lot lf waffle going on here. At the end of the day IM will pick a side that he believes will beat the Seagulls and he hasn't been wrong yet this season. Obviously all this talk of who to pick and who to leave out will be HIS decision, and his decision only. Since when did the forum start picking the team? Leave it to the man who knows best. Ian Millward.
