A five figure fee,£100.01.

He went to Batley.

None have still been on contract tho which has been the fee driver. Everyone I've spoke to this week who have either played with him or coached him at junior and professional level can't speak highly enough of him!

From the 'press release' doesn't sound like Fev are going full time next season....



[i"Greg had aspirations for playing in a full-time environment which was no longer possible and Mark recognised that and was amiable in agreeing a five-figure sum for Gregs release to enable him to pursue that goal. I know this wont have been easy for him and he will no doubt be subjected to some criticism from some of his spectators but it takes an honest Rugby man to allow a player to progress rather than standing in his way."[/i

I've always thought him to be a class act, when he's played against us during the past four years. It's unusual paying a fee though, these days.

Fair enough, if he's as good or even better than we already have then I suppose he is worth the transfer fee.

I agree with your post Alan.

Re the fee'just a thought' but maybe we are setting down a marker if for eg a club came in for one of our contracted players.

Paying a fee is further proof of how far we've come, and more importantly fires a warning shot to the rest of RL on how far we're prepared to go. Well done to PR and to the board for supporting his judgment.

Welcome aboard Greg hope you enjoy the ride

oh, just assumed you guys were.

I'm with Glow on this.

It seems clear that Paul has been tracking Greg Worthington for some time and has been very keen to secure his services. If the player is currently under contract to another club they have the right to negotiate a fee. Greg was in a 2-year deal and has been released one year early.

I suspect that there are more fees paid in rugby league in this situation than we realise. The very fact that we are able to be involved in this kind of a deal is for me a very encouraging sign. Have faith - if Paul thinks it is a good deal then there is every likelihood that it will be.

Greg has scored 54 tries in 101 appearances for Fev, 17 of these coming in 27 appearances this season. He can only get better under the guidance of our coaching staff in a full time environment.

Warning shot really????? after your recent money troubles im amazed your paying a fee for a mediocre player because thats all he is, i think its a great bit of business by our chairman, had a good few years Gregg but done nothing this year, you must have plenty of cash to throw around

Jealous or what.

I chatted to a lot of Fev fans before the game and asked them all if Worthington was fit to play. Without exception they were all hoping he would be in their side that evening.

Mediocre is not how I would describe the performances he gave when I watched him against the team I support.

FT training, under excellent coaching, using top facilities, he is young, eager to learn and develop. Imo a good bit of business by our head coach/bod.

Top try scorers for Featherstone this season according to Love Rugby League stats:
Sharp 28
Mendeika 21
Worthington 17
Hardman 12
Kain 12
Ellis 8
The Rest - not very many.

For a player who has apparently "done nothing this year" it looks like a fairly substantial return from Greg Worthington to me.

Wow! Really?



Gregs been decent for us and will be a miss next season ill agree but better than a former GB and england international in Newlove??!!

No disrespect to Greg but he couldnt even lace Newloves boots in my eyes

I hope Leigh fans arent expecting that level of quality

I think you'll find that your fellow Fax fan was being sarcastic.

Mish his fellow Fax fan was a Fev Fan LOL.......

Err ....so it is. I guess that's a

for me too.

LOL, that was said tongue in cheek. if you read the whole thread you may realise.

17 Tries this season, and done nothing, cannot wait till he has a good season for us then.

welcome aboard greg..........as anybody got any clips,youtube etc of greg playing for fev etc........

Jealous of what??????
Worthington been poor all season cant understand you getting him, and amazed youv paid a fee
