how good : Tue Feb 24, 2009 6:28 pm  

do people think this very young leigh team could be in a couple of seasons if they allowed to grow as a team, sprinkled with a few old heads i think they could end up one of the strongest in the division the average age must be early twenties and with a good coach to get them there,and made up of local lads wanting to play for their local team

I think as the season goes on we'll see this squad develop and barring any serious injuries I think we'll finish the season very strong.

Fingers crossed lol

From what I have seen so far you may be right.

I think it said in the reporter (or journal) last week that the average age was 23, which I'm sure must be one of the youngest in the division

It will read "youngest and best" by the end of the season.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeigh.

We have a young team,a cheap team,a small team,a team I will support fully but unfortunately I have to say it is a team lacking any real standout talent or leader & as a team they don't fill me with hope of success on the field.

I think we're one of the strongest already

Hugely rewarding to see a team of hungry young lads who are playing with pride in the shirt.

sorry you feel like that but i would rather have a team of local talented (i believe anyway ) lads who will give their all for the club rather than an australian journey man who dosent give a dam about the club tkl being a good example for one, and dont forget to give them TIME

Let's not put pressure on the lads and just enjoy the ride.

In the mean time remember this?
