sweaty craiq Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 We tried a few years ago to sign him but better late than never - looks to be fully over his ankle injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Very good signing if he is fit. Was a good NRL outside back a few years ago.

Scubby Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 If he is fit and he is motivated this will be a brilliant signing for Leigh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 It's gathering some intensity now Only things missing from the championship are a few more speccies and a trip to toulouse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) I've always been a big fan of MacDonald. He's been unfortunate with injuries but he's a much better signing than Leilua in my opinion. That said, I'm sure Leilua will still tear it up even if he is prone to brain farts. A great signing for Leigh Edited November 29, 2021 by DoubleD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Watching him as a Dragons fan I found him a bit of a frustrating enigma . He’s a physical presence , could finish a chance and do some good things but he also made more than his fair share of basic errors and got caught out in defence , usually racing in field . Since then injury and off field stuff have seen him not being seen much in the NRL . For the championship though that’s a solid acquisition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Injury prone Makes daft mistakes. Poison in the dressing room. Personal issues He'll be sent off every week. Not fit. Never be the same after injury. Going for a SL gig. Have I missed any from the "championship club signs a good player" response list? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 He had a good World Cup, as I recall. You’d think a player of his size and ability would tear it up in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Joey Leilua is a bit of a nitwit. Nene's defensive reads aren't the best (at NRL level), but I hope the Leigh players are practising putting up the high ball to him. Very good in the air. 2 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life. We are just so much mashed potato."

Saint 1 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Very good signing. Looked dominant in the back end of the Q Cup season and the Championship is probably a lower standard than that. Very good workrate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Leigh and Featherstone are going for broke to reach Super League, I fear the club that doesn’t make it may be overstretching themselves financially, it might be the case that neither club makes it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghi Tumbe Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 With PNG having more depth in the backs then ever before, I am sure he will be giving his best for Leigh inorder to secure a spot for next year's world cup. He knows the championship is a stepdown from the Queensland cup, so the onus is on him to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Toulouse you mean who have spent 'naff all' because they went for broke last season ?? Don't look at Leigh and Fev for being scapegoats. Been there, done that and wore the T-Shirt. If it all goes Pete Tong for Toulouse, will we see Toys out of the pram and a few seasons back in the french leagues like a few years ago in rebellion (aka) skint ?? As Robin would say 'We will be fine cocker'. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship clubs overstretching themselves going for Super League or bust is the downside to the promotion and relegation model that we have.

Of course the facts back this up dont they, I mean look at all the clubs who have gone teets up since p&r was reintroduced in 2015 .......... Bradford. Championship clubs haven't a clue what is happening in 2022 let alone further ahead, so those with ambition will spend the most they can possibly afford to be as high up the chain as they can be. All I can guarantee is that Leighs team will be significantly stronger than that we had in SL, and the team we had at the end would have beat both Fev and TO in a million pound game played at SL pace. Fev will probably say they are stronger too than the Fev that took the field that day. Edited November 30, 2021 by sweaty craiq 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm (kind of) ignoring the provocative brown stuff and looking forrad to the coming season. I'm never dismissive of other clubs but I'm really going to enjoy the fev v leigh scraps coming up again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
