town4me Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 A little extract from a report on Martyn Ridyads testimonial season below. Former Leigh favourites including Gareth Hock, Tommy Goulden, Micky Higham, Tom Armstrong and Fuifui Moimoi are coming out of retirement to wear the Centurions colours once again.

The reason for moi moi "coming out of retirement" is because he'd only signed 1 years deal so technically free agent still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeandawayer Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I wouldn't say I'm excited about our recruitment but happy to have retained Wellington and have Miller back and added size on the wings. There's been an obvious swing towards youth this season especially if the two young lads arrive from Oz. If we add at least one big bulldozer up front we'll do well. If not it doesn't matter how good the backline is they wont get any decent ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMac Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I’m actually quite excited about the 6 new signings and if the 2 Aussies come off I’ll be really excited. The 2nd row looks like he could be the real deal if thommo is right. But of the 6 we have got all will bring something to the team and give a bit of quality to the depth of the squad. For once, assuming the injury jinx doesn’t strike, we look as though we’ll have plenty of pace along the back line. Hopefully we can bring in another big forward even if fui is still here. Whether we have enough to compete with Barrow, Newcastle, Doncaster etc only time will tell.There appears to be more of a long term strategy than there has been over the last few seasons and I’m really pleased about that as I’m sure Chris Thorman is just the guy to nurture and improve those young players.

With only Dawson and Curwen as recognised props of any size we'll struggle until they get some help. Its a basic formula..go forward in the middle and everything else follows. Apart from that we've got good depth and aren't relying on Penky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancashireTown Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hearing odonnell needs a knee operation? Pack is looking very very light if true especially with tickle not playing too! Hoping he’s maybe going to look into the loan market for super league players out to make a name for themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMac Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Interesting that on the website the new pictures of the squad have been uploaded with Jonathan Walsh removed but Danny Tickle and ffmm still there, although not in the new shirt. Hopefully both will be here for the season start, otherwise we’ll have a squad of 19 plus any new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Chris has said he’s not rushing in and I’ve heard that there’s a few in the pipeline. In the past we’ve made signings that didn’t work Cos they were available and it looks like he’s holding out to get people he really wants to work with. That’s refreshing. There’s still a few weeks left so hopefully they’ll get sorted shortly. walsh seemed to be a good lad and vocal on the pitch but shipped tries through iffy defence.
