Heard a rumour on sunday in legends that this guy is not in the coaches plans at cas and leigh are sniffing around. Anyone heard anything? Also talks of another hooker for next year although.no names mentioned. Dont we have enough hookers?

Liked Ellis when he was with us ,wouldn't mind him back.

If we could keep Riddy and sign Ellis, we would have a decent half back pairing

We would have a QUALITY half back pairing, Jamie is CLASS

Like to see him at loose forward, with Ridyard and Brierley at half back

Christ do we need anymore Half Backs or Hookers?

Ridyard
Brierley
Govin
Nicholson
Beswick
Penkywicz
Coyle

Ellis is a top, top player but 'd rather sign a quick threequarter or two.

I would imagine if the changes to structure come about we would be looking to the future and Jamie is young compared to others on that list
Also if he was leaving SL who else would he look to join?

If think that would work well we could release Coyle at the end of the season & sign Ellis

This has to be Madens last season with us so unless he's a Rowley favourite (hope not) so hopefully we'll sign at least one along with Hill cementing a 1st team spot too. Am I being too optimistic we''ll finally get some pace out wide?

Move Aspinwall to front row to accomidate Ellis

Do you mean the same Steve Maden who has just been named in the Championship team of the month and is constantly amongst the best yardage Stats in the team?

What is it with people under esamating mado, I personally think he's a quality player, if you watch the game and realise how many yards he makes for us!

Charlie would love to see Jamie Ellis back in Leigh shirt at the LSV , I don't know if it will happen though ,the lad is a Quality player , and a genuine good all round bloke .

Paddy Flynn released from Widnes??

Wouldn't get rid of Maden he does an awful lot of work in every game but maybe he needs moving off the wing as he definitely isn't fast enough any more .He's a good solid player though and I rate him .

He either moves to centre or goes for me personally he'll get mullered out wide by the likes of Sheffield. He's been vital while we've had/having our injury crisis but with a bigger squad & pack recruited we wouldn't be as reliant on his drives. We've been wanting pace out wide for years so we either get that rectified or continue to moan about the same problems year after year & get caught out it sure does feel like groundhog day as a Leigh supporter.

Would think Workington will manage to have first dibs on him, but I'd have him in a flash.

Mado plays his 200th game on Thursday it puts him in the top 58th of all time appearances for the club and is in the top 25 of club try scorers, I for one hope he gets 300, keep it up Steve some of us appreciate your efforts over the years, and still one of the first names on the team sheet.

Fred I agree Steve M has been a very good servant to Leigh , but he has lost his pace now , and theres no room for sentiment in Professional Sport , in my opinion and it is only my opinion mind you , I would call a Taxi for a few of our Squad next season , for me its going to be onwards and upwards , we MUST compete with Fev , the Seagulls ,and Fax.

It is not so much Steve's lack of pace as the general lack of pace in the team - if we had two or three flyers then it wouldn't be an issue.

Plus, if we are relying on a winger for yardage then there's another problem!

All we need is someone who can run 100 metres in under 10 seconds ,it wont matter whether he can pass the ball or not then, just needs to catch n run lol

Well one of our forwards might make 10 metres in 100 seconds.

If we had a bigger pack they'd make the impact & the yardage Mado does & even increasing the squad by even a couple & we'd be able rotate the squad with fresh players coming in energized & trying to claim their spot. IMO I still don't think we've replaced Bibey yet when both Parker & Bibey played together our pack was fierce. What I was trying to say Charlie has already put 'there's no room for sentiment' it's not being ruthless but it's business

Take the 100 in 10 secs out & it sounds like Spencer LOL

Lack of size in the forwards & the size of our squad doesn't help either. Jimmy Taylor gets through some work it's a shame we might not see him again this season he could of helped share the work load in attack & defense.
