Had nice words to say about you Guys.....

Leigh Centurions are delighted to confirm that Tom Spencer has rejoined the Club after a successful two-year stint with London Broncos.

Spencer, who played a starring role in the Broncos' dramatic 4-2 Million Pound Game victory over Toronto Wolfpack to seal the club's return to Super League jumped at the chance to join John Duffy's Leigh revolution and return to LSV.

"The Toronto game was the most nerve-wracking I've ever played in and an incredible experience," Spencer said. "We went over to Toronto three times last season and all the build-up was about them and rightly so. We used the underdog tag as motivation and that's something we can do at Leigh next year.

"It was a bitter-sweet experience leaving London. I had a great time down there and really developed as a player and a person. Andrew Henderson signed me and when he left to go to Warrington his assistant, Danny Ward took over and both were great coaches to play under.

"They both looked after me and worked on my game. Danny left no stone unturned in his preparation and it paid off. I thought I may have a place in their plans but that's the nature of the game with salary cap considerations and it was time for me and a few of the other lads to move on.

How come you let him go? I thought he seemed to improve as your promotion season went on. I'm sure he could have done a job for you in SL - for instance, I would have rated him higher than Greg Richards.

Never ran his weight for me, big soft prop who had lots of injuries. Game time per match limited. No loss at SL level.

Be good for a mid table Championship side.






Mac out!

Personally thought that been his best this year. Managed to avoid injury and was putting it in. Did feel at end of season he was delivering but perhaps the overall perspective meant wasn’t to be going forward. Hopefully career wise he can continue on the upward curve he was on. Good luck to him in the future.






Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

The Beswick hit to be fair was a good shot

SR i'm not sure where we can get stats but it would be interesting to read Toms. Numbers of games played, time used per game then some playing performance stats.

Wardy has obviously seen something he doesn't like :)






Mac out!

I think WQ is a little harsh, but kind of on the money.

He got alot better towards the end of the season when he could play more consistently. Keep him fit and in the side so "match-fit" and I think he was good enough to be given a year in SL.
