I sincerely hope you are not relegated Pepe. My point is, as we are all too aware of at Leigh, it is so easy to end up in the bottom spots of this league without careful recruitment. In 2007 you signed some great talent. Admittedly, it may have contributed to you going bust, but I really enjoyed watching Widnes that season until you imploded near the end and Cas did you. I know that everything is now geared towards franchising, but surely, in your heart of hearts you would love to see Widnes sign some real talent and maybe win this league next year. I know that as a Leigh fan, I would love to see us have the success that Fev have enjoyed on the field this year. Surely, just because it is inevitable that you will not be in this league after next year, it does not mean you do not want to or you cannot go all out to win it next year. You come across as a really decent and loyal fan. Please tell me you are still gutted when Widnes get thrashed or they sign a very ordinary player. Otherwise, I am beginning to despair. Please reassure me.

I think it's a bit early to worry about next season's recruitment. I'll wait and see just how that pans out before panicking just yet.

If you listen to all Leigh fans you would think they had spent more than one season in SL and are the biggest team outside SL and that every player wants to sign for them.

Really?

I think if you listen to most Leigh fans you would hear that they think Widnes are the biggest team in the league




Still hate you Widnes lot though

Sounds good! And has already been confirmed mate

I agree that Leuluai will be a good back row forward in the future and nobody can argue about his pedigree. It is also evident that he has been well coached in his younger days in Oz etc and he does indeed run good lines. At the moment, he has good potential and is a real trier. He is only young and should develop well. If he becomes a lot bigger, he has the potential to play near the top end of Super League. In a year or two, after developing at Leigh and Widnes, he could play for a top team such as Saints etc IMO.

Can't see that happening! I think he'll be a top end Championship/bottom end Super League player, not big enough or skillful enough for the top SL teams.

Re: Leuluai and Haggerty : Wed Sep 08, 2010 3:03 pm  

That is why I said could. He may or may not. Depends how he develops. My main point is that he is an okay player at the moment, but does have the potential to improve IMO. As he is at the moment, he would struggle at a higher level, but if he bulks up considerably and avoids serious injury, who knows. Time will tell.

your giving Magraff high expectations due to his family & name & not by merit get level headed he won't be a table topping SL player

Re: Leuluai and Haggerty : Mon Sep 13, 2010 12:57 pm  

Magraff is a trier no doubt, but NO CLASS , not big enough, couldnt get into our first team ,but you shall see.

Re: Leuluai and Haggerty : Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:18 pm  

It's the Leythers giving him the raps! At that young age good signing IMO as doubt be expensive and I don't think signed to beca starter either so a 'clever' signing shall we say!
