Been told this morning, that Magraff has agreed to sign for Widnes,next season

with Mark Smith coming to Leigh.

Heard this the other day, (not Smithy bit), from what I ahve seen of Leuluai he's a big lad and can make yards but nothing special at all and not one for SL when opposistion get's bigger etc.

Leigh shed any light on him?

On Smithy tbh i'd be dissapointed for numerous reasons (inc for him) if he does not sign for SL for at least next season!

J20 Magraff can make yards, his defence is supect on occasions, he's still young but he does have the ability to develop into a good player. As for the smith rumour i wouldn't want him at Leigh, we need some youngsters coming up, a young good scrum half with Riddy would honestly be frightening Riddy is one of the best Stand Off's in our league and look how old he is, imagine a young creative scrum half with him.

I wouldn't go that far!

I'd be disappointed if Magraff left, one for the future, he's only about 20 I believe so bags of potential!

The one who told me this seemed very sure,also mentioned a couple of other Widnes signings,anda couple of Leigh departures we all know about.

I was told last night that half of the lads are going due to there being no money ,true or not don't know time will tell ,it can't be long off when the club starts to release who's going and staying

Riddy is one of the best, i didn't say the best. The game changed last night when he came on, he's like a smaller version of Duffs, he creates things.

Could be right,there was a possible investor at last nights game,he told me he was going to last nights game,and i think we all know which players wont be at Leigh next season,the future is bright though.

Riddy had a decent game when he came on, but my MOM was Adam Higson, ive been a critic of the lad, but he stood up last night and had a good game



well done Higgy.

There will be plenty of comings and goings and what I will say with 99% of who is going it will because we have chosen to let them go!

Really? Good stuff then as makes it a more worthwhile deal for sure



He can bring a few familty members if he wants too

Of course!

Forget sentiment hes not good enough! Nice lad etc.

If Smith is coming this way and Magraff the other then that's fine. We need someone who can break the tackle more often and can defend better.

He has potential but not really sure how far he will go long term.

There is not alot of money about in these lower leagues, so I doubt many will be leaving for better deals. As has been said the majority that leave will be leaving as the club think there is better to be had...possibly

Or there is better coming through. I'd imagine the likes of Anthony Nicholson, Dean Dollin, and Sam Hopkins may get game time next season.

Magraff has never let Leigh down so good luck to him.

Re our reserves Dollin has pace but his tackling could be better.I often wonder if a coach can improve that for any player. On balance I think probably not.

Frank i was very impressed with Higson.

Higgy was my MOM also and mark my words he wll be a revelation at centre next year. The lad has been itching for the chance he got last night.

Good and imo he would be even better in the centre. I still think he could be the wide running second row we need too. Mind you a couple of other fast backs would help.

Was told last night Lee Patterson from Fax might be playing for us next season and finally to get this squad to third in the league is a remarkable coaching achievement in my opinion.

Tackling classes with James Taylor for half of the players me thinks lol

Spot on JTs Tacklig was first class last night yet again.

What showed up last night was that Higson is not a winger, as he was drifting in too much creating an overlap for the opposition on numerous occasions.

Magaff's a half decent player but posses less power in his whole body than I have in my little toe LOL Just goes to show bringing through youth doesnt always pay off as plenty before Lulu have gone but don't be disheartened people there is better out there to be had

sorry but watching magraff laughing as soon as the hooter went last night showed me he wasnt really that botherd about us losing we can do without players like that

Jimmy T is the best tackler in our squad, but i think he needs to be coached on ball contrl, been watching the game all day and he did make a lot of errors, i'm not blaming him but it does need to be addressed, Higgy was my MOM as well, he played awesome, Stevey Nash and Paul Smith need to be retained next season IMO, Nash is a good player, I've pointed this out many times, he needs confidence building up and last night showed what he can offer.
