Ryan Hampshire is a better fullback than Walker. Hampshire only got the No.29 jersey as he walked out of Wakey believing he was worth more than he thought without getting a gig so it will be interesting if Alex keeps his No.1 jersey spot. Amazed he walked away from the Broncos.

Comment from WQ that Walker will be the next one who will not make it in super league that's what am on about! He has already had a pretty good season in SL and won the plaudits of many. I reckon he will do well at wakey!
Lots of players from lots of backgrounds step up and dont make it in SL a fair few do though, from london LMS! Being a pretty good example.
Clubby ain't done too bad or sarginson
As for Lewis B think everyone was a bit surprised with his move so it's no real shock that he never made the grade, although the fact he is on loan and not shipped out permanent says a lot about future potential

| Quote The Phantom Horseman="The Phantom Horseman"Agree with just about everything in the above.
Not necessarily predicting like GFB that Fev will finish top as there are definitely a few questions to answer - can Webster be more effective as a Championship coach than he was in SL, how will the veteran forward signings Ferguson/Ferres perform, how close to his best and how often will Chisholm be etc - but on paper we have a squad that should challenge for top 3. Yes we will use DR extensively, and if we get McLelland for extended periods that will be a big boost, but as GFB says it's wrong to say we are very much dependent on DR - some of the fringe Leeds players would struggle to get a game if all our alds are fit.
I'm not as down on London as I was a few weeks ago as the starting pack looks really good but the backs and, especially, depth are big question marks. Ward clearly remains a positive though.
[uLeigh have done a fair bit of recruiting but they looked a bit iffy defensively sometimes last season yet seem to have concentrated more on attack (Sammut etc).[/u
I watched Toulouse in their pre-season game yesterday and they looked the better side for chunks of the game against Catalans. Toulouse are sure to be up there again, they do seem to lose form somewhere along the way though every season, but if they play to their potential with consistency they might be the team to beat.
York have recruited well and what's more they have done it in positions of weakness. Teams will see them as a "big game" this year that they have to get motivated for, but I'd still be surprised if they aren't top 5.'"
Forget last season, that's gone. We will be fine in defence, my worry is in the halves, I'm not convinced with them yet. |

I reckon your backs look good and you would be fine with a Ridyard & Sammut combo but you don't win the championship without a very good pack, thats where I see Leigh's major problem. |

Ridyard is 4th choice halfback, and this is a very impressive pack if you ask me. This lot will maul Fax to death, and be a match for the top teams in the championship too.

Blimey. Five ex-Bronco players.... 6 if you include Sammut.

Fev, London, Toulouse, possibly even York's pack look better if we are honest. I suspect Leigh will be quite easy to read as they really can only have 1 or 2 plans for which half backs are on the field, its not like they can have a different plan for each half back as if they were to try that it would be chaos with the players around them. Having 1 or 2 plans isn't a disaster like its just you need to pummel teams up front for it to work. That pack isn't going to pummel many teams. |

With Jarrod in the squad you think there is a plan! Have we forgotten how he plays, half the time am not sure he knew himself what he was doing! Nothing wrong with that but dont think it's something that's predictable.
Think leigh will be a handful.
Hope Jarrod has a decent season I know he has been through the mill lately.

Look Greg, you've always looked for a flaw in the Leigh side every season. It looks like you have some kind of obsession going on. If our halves DO get to do something decent, then Leigh will be a handful,trust me. |
