Typical of many Leigh fans my mate said he's crap. Just exactly who would the majority of leigh fans be happy with? I don't think anyone would make them happy, i admit that over the last few years since Nanyn was at Swinton i've called him, mainly because i realised that he is exactly the kind of player we have wanted just watch how many breaks he makes and tries Stanton scores now. When the other new arrivals apear we may fin ourselves knocking the mighty Halifax off their pearch!

Penky & Goofy would be positive signings atm, without question.

Cant see Goofy, although Penky is at every thursday night match at the LSV!
Are the club courting him or what?

Never been a fan of Nanyn, yeah he scores points, most from 1 yard out , but he seems to lack speed/fitness, never remember him making great breaks or being fantastic in defence.

As Popman said this seems to be a 'we must sign someone' reaction, hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

As for moving Morty, I've said before Donlan may do a better job there this season but if we're going to bring young players in, we should give them time to develop in their position, Morty's not let us down and could be the back bone of this team for years to come, leave him at FB.

Don't criticise him for what he is! Mick has no pace, but give him the ball 10 metres out and he's a monster. Goal kicking machine too. I rate Mort but have never understood why you don't play Donlan there - for my money the best FB in the division.

Trouble is, HB is a bind so all that might be irrelevant!

Good luck till we meet you in the play-offs

But, bar McConnell's try against Whitehaven in the NRC, we're pretty limp when near the line so, in that sense, I think it's a definite improvement.

Question is, will we be playing him as a centre or second row?

Think we have lots of options already at second row. Taylor, Armitstead, Higson, Rudd, Rourke and Leuluai can all play there if needed. I'd put him at centre. His size and power would make him a good strike player out wide.

Is Leuluai available 2moz?

Is he not still banned?

Think he's still banned as there haven't even been any reserve games since his ban was enforced.
