Matty Dawson join s Leigh


Recommended Posts

Signed on a two year contract for a five figure fee, hmph!

Neil Jukes says

"We highlighted him some time ago and big thanks to Derek for securing his services. Matty will have a big part to play this year and in the years ahead. He is everything you are looking for in an outside back and as a person who will fit easily into our set-up on and off the field."

Made my day ! :tongue:

Cunningham really is clearing the decks, First Burns, then Charnock, then Savelio and now Dawson

 

I can't believe we actually persuaded Leigh to pay for him though, I was half expecting us to have to pay them to take him off us.

I`d be more excited if the decks were cleared of Cunningham if I was a Saints fan!

We`re on a road to Nowhere.......................

I'd be a bit worried if I was a Leigh supporter. Mr Beaumont seems to be doing his level best to disturb what has been a pretty balanced side this season. All these last minute signings could very easily de-stabilize the team - it takes time for new players to gel. I hope not because Leigh have been by far the best championship team this season I'd hate for it to all fall apart for them in the middle 8's for the second year running - even as a bulls fan!

Only 2 last minute signings for this season. To be fair, if we hadn't signed someone we could be struggling for wingers given Kay went off injured last week and pownall has disappeared off the face of the earth

Ah that's fair enough then. Seems like every other day I'm hearing of another Leigh signing but if most are for next season then fair enough. Also I wasn't aware of your winger situation.

Armstrong is one of the best tacklers I've seen. Sorry to comment on playing matters

I know that it's not generally the done thing on this forum

From what I've seen at a higher level when Leigh played in the CC and 8s, I would say Dawson is the better defender. He's probably been one of the best defensive centres in SL in my opinion, but offers nothing in attack and doesn't have good ball handling skills. Everyone's entitled to their opinion though. Armstrong is certainly a better overall player

Is it only 12 months ago,when Wakefield made some new signings,that there were a number of complaints from the followers of a certain club,about ' signing players for the 8's '?

 

Leigh seem to have spent the entire 12 months since then signing players;presumably with the intention of them featuring in The 8's.

     No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

You'd 'hate' for that to happen... again?  I'd find it hilarious to be honest...

 

You'd think he'd have learned something from last season.

One lives and learns Angel, one lives and learns.

Wakéy obviously got it correct last term they finished 4th and secured their SL status, Leigh signed no-one and finished last, one place behind............err sorry who was it now?

Seriously, I think even with all the signings the best we can acheive is 5th, and to give ourselves the best possible chance should we make the £1M game we should be being very prudent in our selections for the first seven games.
