TBH I never wanted Greenwood to leave - but was offered a lot of money by Fax to sign for them (excellent player).............. but never rated Wilson when he was at Leigh and still dont.

He would be in your team, i guess our coach just knows how to get the best out of players. Take Greenwood for example, Leigh fans made out he was average at best. Hes now without doubt the best full back in the division.

When at Leigh, I didn't think Miles was the 'finished article'. But he was always quick, and elusive, and backed up well - qualities that made him stand out above the 'average' player. Obviously, other facets of his game have been developed and he is now a very good player.

Let's be honest, Greenwood looks better because he has a better side in front of him. Was hardly going to look like a world beater when dealing with line break after line break when he was with us.

Very true Matt. Stuart Donlan was hardly made to look a good player on Sunday, when repeatedly faced by the ball carrier, with five of his mates backing him up!

Exactly my point, Alan. Same can be said for Morty against Fev; he can't tackle them all on his own!

Bit like being the goalie - you tend to feel responsible for every try in rugby, (speaking from experience!) as they all come past you! I really hope the rumours about Ian possibly leaving, are untrue - I think he too has got some outstanding skills, and just needs some of his lesser points developing.
