I never have Dav, never been one as long as he has a hole where the sun don't shine, full back or wing for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still a solid fullback especially defensively but lacks the pace these days to be an effective top level winger. Not being able to retain Aekins with his pace & link play leaves a big hole in that back line. Edited November 29, 2022 by Davo5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shepherd Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 3 hours ago, phiggins said: Hopefully not, but that's a completely different matter At the moment, he's probably the best full back and one of the two best centres at the club. Am sure Lam will have an idea on who is the best option where though. I think we'll miss Aetkins. Much improved over the course of last season, and pace to burn. Any truth in the rumour that Caleb refused to play for Leigh again because he "didn't want to play rugby looking like Bet ####### Lynch"? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. Doubtful but I wouldn’t blame him. I think it was a case of English full backs being available. Plus there were rumours that he wanted to go back home during the season. Shame we couldn’t keep him. Excellent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current estimate is April/May but was a serious injury so there could be longer, the player who is the biggest loser is Pickersgill not sure where he fits in.

Your idea of great is different to mine then I'd say French who played wing when back from injury was great,I hope Fusitua proves me wrong and tears it up next season.
