He has been confirmed as a dual contract player at leigh next season. Your honest views on him as a player, would think we will be using him as a winger/centre.

Many thanks

Seen very little of him to be honest. Scored plenty in the academy though.

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sat Nov 06, 2010 6:05 pm  

He looks pretty good to me. Seemed to score a hat-trick pretty much every other week in the reserves, but never quite made it into the first team, despite there being injuries in the three-quarters, so I wonder if there is a deficiency in his game that our coaches are worried about.

I think he'll go really well at National league level. It could be a good move for him, although you get the feeling he isn't valued much at Saints.

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:30 pm  

Always seems to do well when given a chance but as Dux mentioned he was often overlooked.
Maybe he needs another year or so.

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:37 pm  

I reckon he will monster the championship.

He is a very big unit with a fair degree of pace. Not lightening but quick enough.
Very difficult to stop from close to the line.

Well it worked wonders for jake emmitt, it will probably do the same for him, lots of potential, but needs work on his defence

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sun Nov 07, 2010 11:31 am  

From what the leythers are saying, it seems he'll be used as a pacey second rower.

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sun Nov 07, 2010 12:59 pm  

what a waste then if used in back row.

The guy scored 25 trys in 16 games for the reserves last year, playing Wing or Centre. Why do you therefore want to negate that try scoring ability and turn him into a forward

Re: Tom Armstrong : Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:32 pm  

He will be used as a centre or winger according to basil, littler to be used in 2nd row mainly.
