I thought Scott Leatherbarrow was a part of a strategy of signing big names.

Also in the pipeline are, James Haythornthwaite, Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook, and Jamie Jones-Buchanan?

£1 a letter for names on the back of shirts the club will literally make bazillions and bazillions of pounds

Mr Hicks - This thread was started as a bit of fun to gauge peoples opinions about the upcoming game. This was my prediction/opinion based on what I have seen so far. I accept Scott has some development, but has played in an under performing team so far and I can't name many shining lights.

Why you feel the need to attack the opinions of others baffles me, but I know you have not made a prediction yourself as yet. Maybe you could grace us with your superior knowledge and when you are proved right we will raise our hands and bow to you.

Why does Leatherbarrow been our worst scrum half for years warrant me putting a shirt on. It was always going to be a mistake signing a young halfback.

He is a young halfback with a lot to learn. Some of his play has been excellent, some of it not so good - if he was the finished article we wouldn't be able to afford him.

Small names from big clubs dosnt work, thats why Wigan let him go.

That is a generalisation that does not always stand true. Wigan let Shaun Long go as a youngster. I remember it well because he went to Widnes who were a very poor side at the time. They absolutley tore us to shreds and the main tormentor was one Mr Long.

They also let Bobby Goulding go, were going to release Sam Tompkins at 16 years old and St helens let Lee Briers go. I could probably go on but those are the ones that spring to mind without trying.

Many top coaches in RL admit that pressure to perform/cost mean they loose loads of young talent, sometimes for good.

Now now Mr.Hicks , it was just a stab at sarcasm ,with with you claiming Leatherbarrow
was so bad I just presumed you were going to join the team to replace him ......
Maybe it was a bit over your head to expect you to understand.

Back on thread! Some of you seemed to fancy us scoring 46, and were pretty accurate on the 'gate' too! So, come next Friday, I may just be back on here asking for a random 6 numbers between 1 and 49!

Seriously though, good luck for Thursday and the rest of the season. You looked vey useful for the first 35 minutes and there wasn't much in it, up to then.

Leigh are not playing at their best at the moment ,Paul R seems to be still a little unsure about his best 17 , and their positions , however i still think Leigh will win , Charlie goes for a score of Cougars 16 - Leythers 30 , if we start playing well then we could get 40 +.

The score was about right , we didnt play as well as we can , again , but you are not a bad side , you will be OK this season , both your wingers have a decent turn of foot , keep the faith .
