Damien Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I've always liked Charnley since his time at Wigan but some Warrington fans don't seem as impressed. He is a great finisher though with a high workrate. He'd be a good signing for Leigh if it comes off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Frisky Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not a good move, if true for a top player who could still make the England WC squad. Leigh seems to be a place good players go to finish their career- JC has a good 4 years left at the top - very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no longer 2016 ,his time has well gone and from what I have seen he has done well to get a contract at Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously not wanted at Warrington, and he's not going to be signed by Wigan or Saints. Looks like a good signing to me. Leigh already planning for SL, eh?

JohnM Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Good signing for Leigh. So what if he's not as fast as he once was. He compensates with his size, strength and straight running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either way, Leigh will need to rebalance the squad to get more in line with SL overseas rules, and an English winger would be a good place to start, given I doubt Inu will be playing next season.

Snowys Backside Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 He's a bit of a tool but as stated, he's English and has International and SL experience. Leigh have already secured the services of some of their overseas players (awaiting groans) so why not. It won't be the first tool Leigh have signed and he might do well should he sign.

I’m not sure why he’s a tool? He has some negatives for sure… he wastes time when he could be playing the ball more quickly and isn’t great at defending kicks behind him, but apart from that he’s well above average. Powell has plenty of decent young players coming through at Warrington. Connor Wrench is a centre/back row but his lightning pace and step has meant Powell has promised him Charnley’s spot. He’ll be on about a quarter of the salary too. “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Mead Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Charnley was wasted to a large extent under Price, just a battering ram “in yardage”. Overall he’s been great though and I wish him well in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 He’s not the player he once was but still effective at Super League level and certainly would be at Championship level, too, if Leigh aren’t to win promotion. Looks like Beaumont is committed to spending next season regardless of the division Leigh are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always brought the ball out strongly but I,m sure I am not alone in saying I got annoyed at his post-contact antics, always trying to milk a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Beaumont is committed to spending next season regardless of the division Leigh are in. It was confirmed in the Ferguson press release that he was committing to funding a SL team regardless, which to be honest is the only way we're going to stay up. It does make a refreshing change that we are sorting recruitment early for a change, rather than panic buying in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you didn't see some of his infamous Media posts whilst as a Wigan player some years ago? We grow and learn. Nowt against the lad and can put in the graft for sure, and living in Warrington for 30 years I certainly don't need another shoulder to cry on. Wire are currently playing well below their weight but my neighbours fully know my roots. If he wore the cherry and white, I will be cheering him on for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
