How much development is there from Leigh??? This is credit to Miners/East development - not Leigh's!!!

True. We can't piggy back on their success, and claim it as Centurions work just because we share same post code.

What I was saying is in our town we have great youth development , hope we do get some of it at Leigh. Ryan O Toole from the Leigh east under 18s is already on the reserves team.

if its the same alan i am thinking of (his mum is ann) then i will say that he has always lived and breathed rugby and i wish him all the best in the role.
did he have to retire cause of that bad hand injury to his hand??

pownall was one name mentioned , adam clay and the hooker

Is the hooker you refer to Anthony Nicholson?

Don't think Pownall or Clay were even playing league until a few seasons ago so perhaps not the best example of the towns youth development.

All three of them are great lads though both on and off the field, Leigh are heading in the right direction taking these lads on board.
