anybody know ? Im hearing alot of rumors

its hilly sighning a new contract for 2 more years pal

what are they

i've already read about that

Chris Hill has resigned for 2 years until the end of the 2012 season.

Excellent news


Well don to all involved in securing his future

Great news and we certainly head over the hills next week in fine form, come on Leythers for the team in great numbers next week!

if that's it. IMPORTANT no. GOOD yes.

Well done to the club on getting Hilly to sign a deal.

Ian Millward considered it Important enough to label it as such.

Very good news.

Chris Hill is an important part of our team at Leigh, so the fact that he has chosen to remain with us rather than take up an offer at a Super League Club is important.

Good on you Chris!

Great news!! Especially considering he would be a sought after player if he chose to leave. Hill must be most fans fav player mainly because he gives his all consistently.

why, will it help us WIN promotion ?

i don't think it's important, you do, so what.

Its important becuase he's one of the top 3 props outside SL, is with us for the foreseable future, and means we've a better chance of getting something should a SL club turn his head.

Well done to the club.

Not that important that it needed to be kept secret and announced the way it was. Just tell us for gods sake! Delighted he's staying though and shows we are heading in the right direction.

It did cause a lot of speculation on here though.

If he helps us WIN the Northern Rail Cup, then yes!

Keeping him at Leigh is actually quite a big deal.

I'm over the moon the club has got Chris's signature and thanks Chris for staying with us, but a little over hyped if you ask me. Remember the little boy who cried wolf.

I am delighted with this news.
Chris deserves this sort announcement, its like a new signing for next season in a way, lets face it, Chris is a SL prop, and too stay with us is Big news. He could have gone for the pot of gold and gone elsewere.
Anyone not delighted by the news, isnt a leigh fan simple.
Thankyou chris!

Definitely good news but over hyped. A simple statement would have sufficed and killed speculation on various other possibilities.

It kept us on our toes though.

If people speculate and come to all sorts of conclusions, then the club can't help that!



Was it not preferable thought to the usual way these things happen? Where somebody who can't hold their own water comes on here and blerts it into the public domain, often before everything is finalised, and then the club gets it in the neck for being slow on the release of the news?

Your right Dave, Chris does deserve a big up for re-signing but personally it would have been fitting for it to be done in the centre of the pitch in front of all the fans who adore him. If it were me the applause of 2000 fans would make me feel more special.

It does seem at times the club cannot do right for doing wrong in some peoples eyes Andy.
