Not like Salford fans then, they called us allsorts for signing Myler, then Ratchford. what made me laugh was all the stuff that their useless aussie coach Matt Parish said about loyalty then he frigged off back to Aus in no time!

To be honest I think most of us are just surprised we managed to keep him as long as we did without a SL club snapping him up. We've had years of nothing but 100% from Hilly and even after he signed for you guys he wanted to stay with us 'til the end of the season and played a huge part in our NRC win with a big performance and a try in the Final. Been the best prop in the championships for a good few years and I don't think any Leyther wishes anything but the best for Chris and, in turn, Warrington too. Great player and a great guy too.

He looks like he's been playing for us for more than 3 games with how well he's slotted in. I'm sure he'll get even better with more SL game time, experience in our team and when the pitches are dry.

Very mobile, makes metres after the collision and works hard in defence really pleased that we signed him. From watching him in the Championship I know he's also got a good pass and offloads in him, and they were always saying about his time as a half.

Yes, I've been very impressed by that too. We seem to have quite a good relationship with Leigh at the moment and long may it continue.

Chris has great hands and feet, and can trot a bit too. It seems he is focusing on the basics to break himself into SL, just wait till he feels able to express himself -

Can't begrudge the lad for wanting to have a crack at the top flight, and I reckon he'll have a decent shout of getting in to the England set up by the end of the year.

As Nozzy said, we're just glad to have kept hold of him for so long as he's had several offers over the years to step up to Super League, but he wanted to remain with Leigh until the right club came along for him, and that would certainly be yourselves with your recent record in developing players.



I know it's a bit of a trek for you but don't forget it's only £10 to get in at the Leigh vs Batley game on Thursday night when you show your Wire season ticket!

He's looked quality so far, as people have said, he does the hard graft without being too spectacular. If he continues at this rate of progress I'd definitely be looking at including him for 2013.

Will be in the starting17 before the end of the season. I think he's a bit like Cooper, but just a bit better.

If I had one this year I'd consider it.

Not sure about this, I think Cooper has been terrific so far.

Hill though looks like a great signing. So far he's done everything you'd want from a young lad at this level for the first time, getting through a big shift without a fuss and looking like he's been around the team for ages. The time he spent training with us last year can only have helped with this.

I was quietly confident before the season that if Morley stepped down at the end of 2012 we'd have enough to replace him internally, I'm almost sure of it now (I'm not saying Hill is as good as Morley, just that Carvell and Wood have more than enough to be the two starters with Hill and Coops from the bench).

It is also my belief that Hill will end up replacing Morley, evetually.

Is it the rule now that every time we mention Hill all the !eigh fans come on and tell us how good he is and that we have a good 'un and wish him well

nearly as obvious as the "how many coaches are going & tickets are sold posts or do i need to swap my childs voucher"

yawn

Or, 'There's no atmosphere at the HJ without drums.'

Or the best advice ever " You could call the club shop!"

Don't mention the drums!

I hate the drums.

Lock it.

The rule is if one of your players joins another club in your league, that is better than you, then you hate them.

Chris Hill joining us is to Leigh fans like Danny Nutley joining Cronulla, Wire fans had no hard feelings and wished him well. Same would happen if say Ben Westwood signed for an NRL club.

We hated it when Fozzard and Harris joined Saints and Leeds and came with their other clubs and beat us, but we didn't mind it when Domic joined Wakey (although they finished above us!) or Nutley came back to England with Cas.

Or matt king? Or is too soon (thanks a lot Yed)

Does Anyone know if I get into the Leigh game for a tenner with my season ticket?

have you phoned the leigh club shop?

Ask them if drums are allowed in the ground.

Yes you do, just show your Wire season ticket at the ticket office.

Bloody Hell, was that good?

What a try!
