Mitch Brown of Cronulla has signed for Leigh. Adding Mitch Brown to Matt Dawson more than adaquatley replaces a couple of the lads Toronto bound.

We are going to have a very accomplished back line to add to an increasingly impressive pack.

What is disappointing is that having been part of a fantastic squad of players and coaching staff over the last few years you feel the need to divulge team mates news on a fans forum. I suspect you have enjoyed the wealth and enjoyment provided by the board of directors over these last few years and if you move on do so gracefully and remember the good times and leave with a smile on your face.

Good luck for the future.

Ste you obviously know something we don't, about JJ.

The force is strong in Ste.

?? What are you talking about? All I did was pass on what was told to me.
Was it not the truth? Have I made it up? as you accused me of earlier in the thread.
Who am I supposed to be?
More importantly who are you?
Youre obviously a mouthpiece for someone on the board

Nice swerve John, im no mouth piece just my own. I find it disappointing as i stated earlier that either you or your informant would choose to share and promote confidential information about fella team mates in this way.

Enjoy your new challenge and kindly let Leigh Centurions get on with our challenge of achieving SL status. See you sunday if you are going.

I think when we look back at some of the antics within the squad we started with we will be well shut, dignity is a commodity missing from so many this term

I could not agree more Maurice. The attitude of some, especially early on in the season has hardly been exemplary.

Ah well. Onwards and upwards.

And who has been the Pied Piper in all of this ?

one of last seasons signings commented that they were surprised by what a loose ship was being run by Our former coach, certain players were apparently getting away with murder, pretty much doing as they pleased in training and on the pitch. When challenged the response was simply 'they do a job for me' .... Thankfully looks like most of the rotten teeth have been pulled and replaced with some nice shiny disciplined ones.
Fair play to Jukes, he has kept the wheels on the bus, Cooke taking up some slack has had a visible impact, can't wait to see what happens when he gets Kieron in place.

I think Hock alluded to something similar in his book. Some of last seasons regulars might have had their noses put out of joint by the new arrivals, but they had a choice - throw their toys out of the pram or knuckle down and get on with it. Rowley certainly appears to have instigated unrest amongst his old favourites, which makes the job Jukes has done all the more remarkable

Well said.

I got the impression that Riddy was a little put out when we signed people in his position.

But he seems to have gotten over it and decided to fight tooth and nail for his spot in the team. After his last few games I imagine he has surely won his spot back too.

Riddy at 6 and Drinkwater at 7 would be my halves going into the 8s. Reynolds also looked pretty handy at 9.

Hood looks far more comfortable IMO, Reynolds has promise at 9 but now is not the time

It's good to have the options available though - Reynolds can do a job at hooker and full back, if needed, as well as his natural position of scrum half. He's very competitive and looks to make things happen. You won't see him drift out of a game, if it isn't coming his way.

Reynolds for me on the bench covers,half back,hooker an full back.And a useful kicker
