Thought Thornley was a threat throughout and linked up well with the back line, was never going to stop him from that distance that close to the line. He’s clearly not a winger but out of yardage he was hard to put down and got us on the front foot for our forwards to do the damage. Field buzzing ar...

Williams was garbage, I’m sorry I don’t know why some folk rate him. He’s a player who when it gets a bit tough, leaves his teammates to do the tough stuff and must be difficult to coach or get a reaction out of unless you are forceful with him, if your not you get that type of performance. Smith I ...

I’m unsure what position needs strength if I’m honest.

Unless Peet has seen a gap in play style that needs addressing I can only see a scrum half or a prop coming in everywhere else is covered, and it won’t be overseas unless French is not returning.

Fullback
Prop
Scrum half. Could be wrong.

4G is completely different to 3. The studs don’t really stick into the surface like the old style pitches and there’s a lot of give. The ground is still a bit hard tho and would require player rotation and players suspected of knee and ankle injuries to sit it out. The bounce of the ball isn’t as wi...

I keep saying Powell is a better 13 than he is a hooker. But we have Shorrocks, Partington, Smithies and Ellis that can play effectively in that position. But none can do the minutes and that’s a fact. Powell is worth his weight in gold purely on minutes alone. Name another player in his position th...

Can’t see happening if I’m honest, he will probably go to Saints.

Thornley is a good player and his try to games equally impressive has scored over 20 try’s in a very poor Leigh side.

6 foot 6 and nearly 16 stone it’s a no brainier.

Does the hard yards and tough carries. He’s nowhere near as bad as people are making out and thats a fact.

People forget there’s options at 9 and competition for places, playing style wise Is another factor also, nobody has any idea how we are going to be set up and what the game plan is. As for a running 9 that’s a no from me because of defensive duties, you have a running 9, fatigue is a big factor. O’...

I can’t help feeling there has been some kind of hard reset on the attitudes of the players and the overall squad. A more disciplined approach, but more importantly a more informative one. The new players seemed to have almost come in and look like they have been there for years, from what I’ve hear...

Thornley has been brought in purely to give us momentum out of yardage and in the double winning season he was absolutely invaluable and under rated. Yes he may be slower than Gildart but make no mistake Thornley knows where the try line is and excels in well drilled defence patterns. I was disappo...
