Lewis Charnock : Mon Feb 29, 2016 8:43 pm  

See we've got young Lewis Charnock on a month's loan, at Leigh. What do you guys reckon to him? He has been drafted in to help us with an injury crisis, with Chase and Ridyard injured at half back, and Beswick at hooker. We've been decimated in other positions in the backs, but I reckon he will be used at either half back or hooker.

I reckon he'll do a good job for you. He's always been steady when I've seen him, but he doesn't seem to be able to get a look in at the moment for whatever reason. It might well be just what he needs.

Seems to be out of favour for our first 19 don't know why, our coaching staff want to play Knowles (back rower) or Burns (stand off) when I think Charnock is a better option than these two. Maybe they have finally decided to play Fages as back up in that position so Charnock is surplus. Charnock is an honest player puts in a steady performance and has never had a bad game when he has been picked in the 17, I reckon he will do OK for Leigh.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to seeing him over the next month. Incidentally, if he deputises for Higham at hooker, he will be replacing another St Helens youngster - Lewis Foster. Was he on your books too?

One of the hardest tacklers at the club - pound-for-pound.

Probably end up playing him on the wing then, 'cos that's where we (Leigh) are letting in all the tries so far!

Was always a standout performer at academy level at either 6/13, then we tried him at 9. He has a very good kicking game and gives it a mighty boot when kicking a penalty into touch. It'll be interesting to see how he does .
