Back on topic, that's a good signing by Leigh. Although I like their first choice hooker, Higham will bring bags of SL experience to their side which they will need in the Middle 8s against SL opposition. I thought they might have signed him on loan till the end of the season rather than paying a fee for him, as he's 34, but he's still a class player.

He could make all the difference, money well spent if he helps them get promoted.

Because of Fev's CC game last week, we now have to fit in a midweek game with them, which will be Wednesday 1st July.

Do Leigh now have 2 midweek games to fit in?

Presumably, yes. But they're a family club so it shouldn't be any bother..

In the 2 televised matches I thought Beswick was in Leigh's top three performers- and has been playing the full 80minutes. Higham is obviously a class act and will play so it will be interesting to see how the team and Beswick react and adapt

I'd expect pretty successfully main reason they stumped up the cash for Higham is because i believe Sean Penkywicz (spelling?) is out for the season with a knee injury and they were operating with two hookers.
