Leigh have a few players out, Hock, Higham, Higson, Naughton and Tonga

Maybe not the quality of ours but still leaves them a big short.

Most weeks we've had 20-21 to pick from , similar this week

Re: Leigh Centurions : Wed May 24, 2017 7:24 pm  

So who's out?

fonua
ellis
taylor (anyone know what's wrong with him?)
sneyd

It's not ideal but we should still be beating leigh with what we have available. Hopefully a couple of those back for monday

Have little sympathy when you choose not to have any youth teams.

We both have players out, we use our youngsters whilst you choose to sign a big squad including average journey men.

Jordan Thompson was not a regular last season . Both him and Michaels need to be moved on . Michaels only shone playing outside Fonua . Thompson is average at best .

Thompson has made 15 apps in 2017 compared to Ellis 8

We can't really take the moral high ground on that one Dave when we have a shared academy with a club in the lower leagues.

Better than none and we are going a great job bringing players through and giving them gametime through the reserves, so I think we can.

Better than none, but still worse than Wakefield, Huddersfield & Widnes.

Any legacy from the merged academy has yet to be seen, the players in the first team or one the edges were from FC's academy.

Personaly I'm not a fan, but you can't critise it until we have seen the results, in 2/3 years time we might be hailing it as a great success.

None of those clubs mentioned have a reserve team, so are there players aged over 19 and not ready for SL, getting enough game time for development

On a side note how long will Hadley be out for ? And will he go back to wakey?
