Charlie has been saying for weeks now , you Seagulls look a bit light in the Forwards , this signing could go either way , im not sure , can see your forwards troubling the Mighty Centurions pack , or even our reserve pack for that matter . .I said at the beginning of the season a Team could afford to lose around 3-4 games in our League and finish in the Top 2 , the Seagulls have already lost 2 .

For me Charlie the goalposts moved for us in that i'm very grateful to still have a club to watch in Sheffield this year the move and uncertainty of the off season will have taken it's toll, it could have been very different. As much as I'd like a top two finish realistically I think we will finish around fourth, Yourselves and Fev have the top two places nailed on as long as both clubs keep working hard and racking up the wins

Given Keighley troubled the mighty Centurions pack I'll reserve judgement for now on who has the best forwards line up this season. We may not make the top 2 but the club will be none the worse if we dont make it, other clubs may not be quite as fortunate...

B E , finishing in the top 2 is most important this season , just for the Prize money alone , I think our League will be the most interesting especially nearing the end of season when I think it is 5 clubs go down .This should not bother Sheff , but I think a couple of decent teams will face the drop .

Keighley DID cause us a few problems a couple of weeks ago , they played very well , and are not a bad team , but I felt we didn't respect the ball that day and threw out some crazy passes , I still feel our forwards are the best in the League , as are our halves ,in Riddy and Brierley we have 2 stars with again good back up , this year its about strength in depth , Paul Rowley will make sure we don't take anything or any team for granted .As for yourselves , I think your Backs are as good as ever , but still think your Squad is on the light side , especially if you come across a few injuries .

Re: Lillycrop signs from Dewsbury : Wed Mar 19, 2014 10:41 am  

Cant argue that we are looking on the light side, we got lucky with injuries last season whereas this season we have been unlucky! Cant fault Leigh's squad, their recruitment has been very good for this level and Brierley is a fantastic player , I just think some clubs may have gambled on the top 2. If it comes off then its worth it, but if they don't make it, then there may be problems ahead. It's good to see sides with a bit of ambition in the Championship, its the only way the RFL will take the competition seriously.

well thanks for that griff. my point though was he asked to leave, not was released as dewsbury had stated, wont go into more detail as you can probably guess what happened, but im pretty sure hell kick on now in a well run championship side,it only seams like yesterday there was talk of him going down under.
