Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

| Quote FredParky="FredParky"It was the 2000 - 2001 season Turls started at Leigh proper, he made his home 1st team debut V South Sydney Terk thought he would only be a bit player and had brought in Simon Svabic as his full back however the rest is history, it was also my first team debut as cameraman.
Turls had played at least one game in the reserves the season before after Wigan (yes Wigan
) cut him, it shows just how ahead of his time Terk was his use of the Full back is how the modern full back is expected to play, for me he is the best technical coach Leigh have had in my time anyway.
John Woods was the player who had it all speed, guile, defence kicking both field and goal, and a great reader of a game, however with todays training regimes I doubt whether he would even turn pro today.
It is unfair to compare any of these players as all are different in their skills make up.'"
Fred , I remember that South Sydney game well , it was a very cold and wet night , id seen young Turley playing in Wigans academy team earlier before he was injured , I said then he was the nearest thing to Sir John id ever seen , he was a very good support player , not in the class of Terry Lamb , he was the master at support play , but Woody made his own breaks , when John made a break 90% of the time it ended with him scoring a try , an English Stand-off like Woody in todays game would be Priceless .

| Woody was my all time favourite, with Neil also an outstanding player. Both were worth the admission money - although I've gone off Neil somewhat, now I remember he played all his time with us as a (very) long-term D/C player from 'you-know-where'!!
Young Ryan also has the X-factor and is still learning - who knows how good he will become? Definitely a master-stroke re-signing him and involving him with the Foundation.

| All our great players are Legends, but for sheer excitement the guy to watch was Mick Martyn. Mick would run on to the short pass, knees up to his chin, and smash into the defence often running through 3 or 4 tackles and come out the other side to score or move the ball on. Awesome!
Best of luck to the lads at Fax today and well done all the travelling support. (Stuck in Kent with Premier Sport!!)
