| Quote ="underthesticks"You are quite right Matt, but I have a strong feeling that whenever Nanyn is fit, except when he was perhaps rested against Hull Dockers, he is one of the first names down. As I said last week on here, Nanyn is okay, but he should NOT be an automatic choce at centre when there is so much competition. Of course we are leaving it to Millward. He is doing extremely well this season, but that does not stop us being able to discuss other options on a forum. Perhaps we could offer to swap Nanyn for Armstrong or Evans or perhaps Blythe. I am sure that he would get on at Wire and Saints. Still scratching my head if this is true.'"
Other options or just your dislike of nanyn.

| Nothing to do with dislikes. Seems a nice bloke and is a good player. Just bemused as to why he seems first choice centre when so much competition. If he was absolutely out of this world and top class could perhaps understand it. Que sera sera. Will still be supporting ALL the players and Millward all the way as usual.

If Mick had played against the French , we would have been playing in the next round of the CC

No , because with the field position we had in that game we would have scored more than we did

| Oh I see. I bet every coach in SL feels the same when they lose to the French. If only we had had Nanyn on to turn the pressure into points. Perhaps TonySmith or Nathan Brown or one of the others will be coming in for him soon.

| Well AJ is quick and young. Nanyn is better for the coaching Basil brings to our side. Nanyn isn't the only one either. Thats why we have to trust our coaches judgement.
On balance there are plusses and minusses.
How good is Thornley now how good is Hopkins How good is Oh I could mention a few more and you know it too.

I don't do insults , I'm not insulting you , apply the same logic from your previous post to the team that actually played ?
So that would have SL clubs queuing up to take all our other players , considering we did better against the French than W1g4n did
Post stupidly , expect stupid replies

| Both good players. I think Higson is young, fit, fast, good in attack, committed in defence, busting to play for Leigh, has bags of heart and guts. He also had a cracking game in our last outing and I think with a good coach such as Basil, he will only get better. Has a lot more potential in my opinion. He just needs to play regular first team rugby in order to improve. At his age , he needs first team if he is to get any better, even if it means trying his hand elsewhere.

| He must stay here or I will never see Leigh win everything I want them to. Basil is our building block.
Tipping point will be if we make the NRC Final.

Apply the logic you made in your reply to me to the team that played against the Catalans ?
You are suggesting we are a better team than W1g4n
So who between us is being the pillock ?
You rate Adam better than Mick , fair enough , but you aren't the coach , he will make the decision , not you , not me
All we can do is give our opinion , you gave yours , I gave mine , all irrelevant , the coach will pick the best team to beat whoever we are playing

Higsons about 25 isnt he?.nanyn is 28.
Nanyn kicks goals and scores tries for fun.
Higson is getting better all the time and his time will come.
underthesticks obviously has a problem with nanyn and i dont understand why when nanyn has been a top performer for us this season.

Well i hope you have no influence over him because if he goes elsewere it will be downwards not upwards.

No , your ' flippancy ' started on page 4 well before I joined the debate , you suggested that Mick would get into the team in front of among others Mal Meninga and Kevin Iro , you obviously either are related to Adam or have a dislike for Mick
As for my statement , it was as I have already posted an opinion , I'd suggest a more credible one than saying Mick is better than Menninga and Gasnier , wouldn't you say , or that if Ian was to move up to SL he should take Mick with him , as good as he has been at our level fir several years , I don't personally think he could compete in SL , maybe you know better , I'd ring Tony Smith if I were you

| How many times do I have to say, I just believe that there is a lot of good competition for places at centre this year. My point is, the men in form should be picked and there should not be any AUTOMATIC selections. I have never said anything about Higson playing in SL. I rate Blythe, Evans and Armstrong and they have all played SL this year, so both Mick and Adam and anyone else going for the centre spot have some very stiff competition. If either one of them nails down an almost automatic spot, they are doing very well. By the way, all this about the coach having the final say. I think that is pretty obvious and as I say, as a person who hardly ever misses a match, I will obviously continue to support Millward ,Nanyn, Higson and all the others all the way. Once they pull on the Leigh shirt, I am behind them. As you say, we are all entitled to our opinions.

Nobody is an automatic pick , Ian Millward doesn't work like that
No you haven't posted anything about Adam playing SL , I haven't suggested you had , you suggested Mick could go and play SL if Ian decided to take him with him , which you will now see , was a pretty stupid thing to suggest
