Can't really argue with that although I would prefer Durbin to start!

Durbs gets targetted too much by the opposition and would be a liability early in a game. He's much more suited to coming off the bench as an impact player.

Can anyone tell me why Donlan starts at 6??

cos we haven't got a better player in that position.....................yet.

Agreed. Donlan hasn't looked out of place at 6 so I'm happy for that to continue.

Donlans shouldnt be playing hes been playing injured for weeks, rest him and well get more out of him when hes fully fit. Fair play to him though for putting his hand up to play.

Surely a fortnight's rest will be enough for his knock to heal, unless it was more serious than first let on?

When Williams arrives its going to be hard to pick a full back. Morty is playin great but would seem odd to leave out our "biggest" signing of the season. I dont envy Rowley having to make that decision!!

If Williams arrives stuff Ive heard says maybe not

Don't tell me Widnes have made him a better offer

Right scenario, wrong club.

Why the F do we bother, well if he does go elsewhere I hope we sue him for all the work that has been put in to satisfy our Borders Agency

was he supposed to be arriving this week? If hes not here yet is there anyone in the know as to why hes not here? Maybe the club could give us an update

If i remember coirrectly from info posted on this board his visa application went in in Oz around a fortnight ago and it was stated it could take 25 days. So it was always unlikely he would be here this week.

Which one then Matt and where did you get to hear about this?

What have you heard, where did you hear it and can you say who you heard it from?

The RFL have sponsored Williams to come to Leigh, in doing so he would be unlikely to go to another club as his visa and work permit application will be for Leigh Centurions plus the club (if any) that are interested would have to be a 'sponsorship' club (accredited by the RFL to sponsor) -thats how I read it anyway.

Cheers Fred, always better to state an opinion based on facts ey Fred rather than your mates down the pub or wherever

I thought he was staying in Australia - Souths?

Post the link manx



Poor attempt manx, wasn't it Souths that released him.

Mort
Alstead
Donlan
Nanyn
Maden
Durbin (Might get targeted but were always quicker and thats what we need you could hjave him defending outside donlan so he wouldnt be much involved in defence plus donlan IS NOT a 6 hes been shocking not hes fault)
Watson
Morrison
McConnell
Hill
Taylor
Armistead
A.Smith

Subs-

Stewart
Meekin
Rudd
Luelueia

Stanton hasnt done anything wrong i would just give him a rest this allows Donlan to move to centre and then if Durbin needs as rest move stewart to centre and play donlan 6
