Ben Davies to Widnes? : Wed Feb 03, 2010 11:18 pm  

http://www.leighreporter.co.uk/centurio ... 6038799.jp Millward did reveal that the Centurions had tried to sign Wigan Academy front row man, Ben Davies. "He would benefit from first team football, and since he is a Leigh youngster, who played with Leigh East, and goes to college in Leigh, we had hoped that Wigan would help out their neighbours," added Millward. "But then we find out they have let him go to Widnes instead. That was a real sickener for us."

It was in the Observer that he was going to one of the 2 on loan.

It'll be a great move for him and us especially if we can call him back at short notice. I'd have thought they'd have let him move to Leigh though with him being a Leyther.

How bitter and unprofessional does that comment from Millward sound? Cant believe that idiot was ever incharge of us, bad times.

No, I was asking who you'd rather have looking after one of our youngsters.

Ahhh I wondered what you meant.

It's a tough call isn't it. On one hand you have an Australian nutbag who's likely to play his props on the wing or at fullback and then on the other you've got a guy who'll probably ramble on that much Davies will get bored and nod off in the changing room before games kick off.

On second thoughts lets get him back and send him to Barrow

I'm glad he's going to Widnes rather than Leigh. I can see Widnes being genuine challengers for both the NRC and the Championship while I think Leigh will finish second bottom or thereabouts.

And the decision for us not to loan him to Leigh becomes quickly justified.

Nice to see the lad will get some game time at a higher level, and all the better if it's on a deal where we can call him back with just 24 hours notice.
