Have Leigh signed him as a Prop? That's been his specialist position during the last 4 years.

Maybe you've had the wrong coach in place for the last 4 years.
Lam will know what's required of him,and it's upto Charnley to deliver. Granted, we are in a lesser league but, Lam will know if his services are futher required at the end of the season.

Under Steve Price's attacking system, that's all he did - ran in as a prop. Other wingers in the modern game will drive the ball in too, but they'll also have the luxury of finishing moves when the ball is spread wide.

He's also handy at attaching himself to a tackler/marker which is handy for...I think it was to try and get a penalty...not really sure...we didn't get many penalties from it...??

He used to win penalties doing that, but then refs got wise to it.

Best for the club and player to move on, and instead pick Wrench and Thewlis.

Wish Charnley well, he always give his best.

Agree that Wrench & Thewlis deserve to be picked, but in their more long term suited positions, and not on the wing.

Price didn't really utilise our players in an attacking way which was a shame, especially with talented players like Charnley. Hopefully he gets the ball more on the end of some attacking moves at Leigh.

Has Lam turned into a coaching genius or found his level?

That's a good question. I hope it's the former but, time will tell.

I actually think he lost his cutting edge and that wasn’t about coaching, he just didn’t seem to back himself like he used to. His first couple of seasons he was exceptional and I wish him well, just not against us.

Re: Josh Charnley : Sun Jun 26, 2022 3:26 pm  

Maybe as he's getting into his 30s he's losing some pace but he's a good finisher. A lot of the time wingers aren't going the length of the field anyway, most of their tries come from 10-15 yards out with a narrow overlap and need a guy who can manoeuver in not much space, use his footwork well and make sure he doesn't get knocked out to touch. Charnley is a good operator there.

If Leigh are a dominant side in their division creating chances then he's going to help them take advantage of good field position so this will be a really good signing for them and bad news for rivals.
