Well as it says he's not coming to Leigh so I'm not particularly bothered. Take it as a compliment that they feel the need to mention us (again) when talking about their new signing.

Agreed, but whatever the exact reasons, it's clear a part-time deal suited him better than a full-time deal. There have been some talented players at Leigh over the past decade whose primary reason for coming to Leigh is that we offered the best part-time deal this side of the Pennines. Our local rivals were either in SL or have fallen from grace.

They'll even be promising the fan's never to lose another game next.

Personally , I think the side we are assembling for next season , will be more than able to cope with the demands of what will be needed , we already have a good squad , and its been stated another 3 signings are on the way , added to Greg Worthington , so im not to bothered about Sykes , if he has chosen Fev , it doesn't matter for me they will go backwards next year while we at Leigh will move forwards .



With Tom Armstrong and Greg Worthington in the centres we are looking very solid with Platt as back up ,as for 33 years old being to old



ive a feeling we will be welcoming an older player at the End of November -Beginning of December .

If he's fit, high quality, AND wants to play full time, bring him on

My take on this is although I quite like Paul Sykes he has been a bit hit and miss over the years. If he does bring Fev some good wins then well done but I'm not sure he was the one for us. He is too straight laced and if I was to bring in a season half back I would want one with a bit more flare than Paul.

Nobody has more Flares than the Salfordlad .



.

Charlie, personal bet me and you - loser has to buy Salfordlad a bottle of Hardy's best red (he's on fixed income you know)





Fev going backwards will not be 15 points (old money 3 points for a win) or even 11 points (new money 2 points for a win) behind Leigh in the league next year - fancy the wager?





PS

your PMs

Well seems a good bet to me. Will Leigh win 6 more games than Fev next season ?



Have to say Dave I think Leigh will' whatever I'd rather have the money whoever wins the bet.





See you next season at the George or Top House.

Thought you'd like the bet Frank, I can't wait while next year, at least he games will mean something, is more than can be said or the last 3 years.



George/Top House or maybe both.

That's a daft statement Charlie..Platt has been outstanding since he singed for Leigh scored try's solid defence reads the game brilliantly top class centre Platt with a lot of top class games behind him no way will GW move him or Armstrong unless either have a injury or loss of form

Dave you know me by now , I always Back my Statements ,and although Francis is on a Winner either way I will accept your bet , Fev will be shadow of a team next season compared to last , you my Fev Friend ,HAVE A BET

.

Ian my old friend , you know I always give my OWN opinions , as I see it Armstrong and Worthington will be our 1st choice centres next year , we will have injuries though and Platt will get his chance , along with others , we now have a Big Decent Squad , im not Knocking Platts ability , and agree he has played very well since his arrival at the LSV , but he can also play in other positions

.Charlie knows .

My own view is that the starting centres should be Platt and Armstrong. Worthington needs to force his way into the team.
