Toronto confirm the worst kept secret of the year that Beswick has signed for them

Hope his achilles has fully recovered.

Thanks for your efforts in the Leigh shirt Bob - for a long time, yours was always one of the first names on the team sheet.

Injured or not he's missed out big time this season, led to us getting Hood who has certainly not let us down when it mattered

It was weird, don't ever recall reading any 'official updates/news' on his (so called) injury.

Wouldn't be surprised if some Toronto bound were refusing to play in some way (Maybe not in such clear words).

Big credit to Andrew Dixon & Greg Worthington who have both never shirked a shift or a hard tackle, this I feel sets them apart.

Well something happened. Was it about the same time that Riddy was having a problem also? I don't know but all I can say that Bob wore the Leigh shirt with pride and I'd like to wish him well. We move onwards and definitely upwards.

Re: Beswick : Tue Sep 20, 2016 9:41 pm  

We got good value from Bob in previous seasons, I wish him well.

Re: Beswick : Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:14 pm  

Played well in the shirt.Dont know what went on,I was bothered at the time,probably worked out right for all concerned in the end. All the best.

Re: Beswick : Tue Sep 20, 2016 11:11 pm  

Whatever it was that happened was long before Ridys 'problems'. Ridy sorted himself out and has admitted in hindsight that being dropped was the best thing that could have happened. Let's hope (or maybe not) Kay, Pownall, Beswick and Emmitt (?) have more luck with promotion than they did in 2015. Credit to Worthy and Dixon for giving 100% for the team to the end.

Re: Beswick : Tue Sep 20, 2016 11:33 pm  

Worthington, Armstrong, Dixon, Spencer etc. have left as absolute pro's.

Gave everything in every game right to the end and have been a credit to the badge and the town.

A shame that not everyone can be such a pro.

Of all the ones to leave though the only one I find a genuine disappointment is Worthington. That lad should be coming with us to Wigan and Hull. Not going to Gloucester and Oxford with Toronto in front of 80 fans. Complete waste of his talents.
