I’m not sure IMG will take Derek Beaumonts Social Media figures into account, he needs to realise it really isn’t all about him.

DoubleD Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Can we keep this thread to TRANSFERS please............if you wish to discuss your clubs communication, please address elsewhere. Moylan is an excellent signing, really impressive. Even more so than Milford. He's such a classy half back, similar to Lam in some ways, but he should complement well with being on the opposite side. I really like seeing Moylan play, he's a natural footy player, an old school half who hasn't been over coached. The only criticism of him can be that he fades out of games sometimes and doesn't take it by the scruff of the neck. However, with Lam leading the side around the pitch, he should slot in perfectly. There's every chance that Leigh will do even better next season, and that's some feat 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a position we were sadly lacking in last season, as Reynolds seemed more comfortable in a more central / first receiver role than at stand off. My main fear, as mentioned earlier, is the lack of kicking game, which is Lam's only real downfall at the moment. But I suspect that's something he'll be given the chance to improve on before moving onto the NRL in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have seen Lam more than me, but I've always thought he had a decent kicking game? Moylan has an excellent short kicking game, I can't say his long kicking game is particularly memorable - Hynes and Trindall typically do the bulk of that at the Sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moylan has an excellent short kicking game, I can't say his long kicking game is particularly memorable - Hynes and Trindall typically do the bulk of that at the Sharks He would very rarely put a short kick in. Most of our short kicks would come from O'Brien. So definitely good to have the option. Lam's long kicks tended to lack distance and would regularly be straight down an opponents throat. But to be fair to him, on the occaisions when he had to kick long, we'd be on the back foot. But when we were linked with Croft, a lot of Leigh fans were saying we'd be better off going for Sneyd, for his kicking game. Main thing for me is it looks like it is the work of Chester and Adrian Lam to bring him in, and not just an agent approaching the owner. As long as we keep to that model, I'm ok with the signings.

All clubs should be communicating news like this via email to anyone on the email list, as it could actually encourage membership. But Leigh couldn’t even get a website ready for a rebrand so its not surprising Jesus Christ you do some moaning between you and Harry…. Derek posted on the fans forum regarding the Catalans away trip, he was responding to some fan questions not doing an official club release, he said that will follow. a new sponsor Jetz travel is doing packages for fans at a discount price which will be released when the RFL say the club can release the fixtures, nothing more nothing less. Memberships are done, if you log on to the tickets section you can see you’re seat. the club have said when the deadline has passed and everybody has chance to renew and all info if processed everybody will be informed of the next step and will receive all merchandise for Christmas if the deadlines are met. The website is fine, very functional, if you want to subscribe to emails about you can put you’re email address in on the website here… (picture attached) it’s not that difficult Harry.

graveyard johnny Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Matt Moylan was a good player 5 or 6 years ago but he will turn 33 next season and is way past his best with a dodgy hamstring history - another one coming for a final pay day - where are our young homegrown talents?

To be fair, from what I've read about him, he seemed to have got past his hamstring issues in the last couple of seasons. Hopefully that continues to be the case for the next couple. For the question you finish with, there aren't many knocking about that are available to sign, particularly at 6 and 7. That's why Leeds paid such a premium for Croft.
