I liked him. Completely wasted under Price.

At the end of his Wire tenure we didn't just waste him in attack, we looked like we were avoiding him

He was a great signing for us IMO, his strike rate, especially early on, was brilliant. His strike rate through his superleague career is fantastic, nevermind just with us. Its a shame how it finished but it seems both we as a club and charnley as a player are in a better place. Good luck to him hunting down the all time top try scorer numbers. He's got a decent chance in this leopards side, but I hope he doesn't add any this Friday.

Wonder if Powell will target him as a weak link on Friday like he did when he was Castlefords coach...

I think with Leigh we just only need to run them up the middle.
They’ll need to slide the edges in to try and stop our middle go forward, and force them thin at the edges. Not specifically Charnley.
Leigh will come here with the mind set to do some spoiling tactics as rather than trying to win the game…coming to have a party almost and perhaps try some things they might not in a game they have a decent chance of winning.

Saints have a good pack and leifh handled them just fine. They're a dangerous side with the added motivation that a fair few were here only last season and deemed surplus to requirements. I really don't think this is a foregone conclusion at all.

they had both second rowers banned, and are playing crap at the moment, post WCC, its not a fair reflection.

I remember the Charnley chants when he was a fan favourite and scoring tries for fun in his first couple of years. Very accomplished winger. Still is.
For whatever reasons it then went downhill, and it's good for both him and us that he moved on. Looks like he's had a new lease of life this season.
Very dangerous player and likely to have a stormer on Friday.
I agree about the milking penalties thing - really frustrated me when he did that playing for us.

They didn’t have a good enough pack on Friday. Half of it was suspended and Warmsley was cut in half for the rest of it.
Hence I went for a Leigh win.

Always thought he was overrated, he's a good winger and has scored some superb tries. BUT the vast majority of his tries are from the work of the guys outside him that most wingers could have scored, including Minikin and that's not an over exaggeration. Was happy when we signed him but wasn't bothered when he left.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

He looked like he had lost the confidence to back himself by the time he left and repeatedly cut in when he should have just gone for the line. Clearly badly affected by the behind the scenes shenanigans. Very good winger throughout his career and his try count backs that up.
