Thoughts???

Full Back in the Leigh Squad also plays Centre and Wing. Looks to have a bit of pace.
Seems popular with Leigh fans and well known by our new Aussies.

Thanks for that. I didn’t know a lot about him. Looks good from highlight reel but so did Kev brown lol

Brought in as a replacement for Pomeroy. Good back line cover without taking too much cap space.

IMO A clever purchase by the club.

Where does this leave us with the quota now?

An awful, awful signing.

This is right down there with re-signing Blythe last year.

I'm astounded, especially if it does take a quota spot.

I would assume:
Quota: Roberts, Goodwin, Brown
Non Fed: BMM, Sita

By my reckoning if we wanted to we could bring in 2 more Quota or NonFed players - unless I've missed someone?

Good evening Wire fans.

Mitch's problem last season was our use of him as a utility back. He was given the No 1 shirt but, due to our lack of centres, he spent a lot of time in the threequarters. At centre, his lack of pace was exposed, as opponents occasionally passed him on the outside. When he moved to full back, his strength lay in fielding the kicks and running them back strongly. He had one nightmare at full back, in the 'middle 8's',when he couldn't catch anything and was then moved to wing for the remainder of the season. On the wing, he again proved reliable in defence and scored a few tries.

He was probably partly responsible for Bryson Goodwin signing for Leigh, as he was his best man. Ironically, he now follows Bryson to Warrington!

I would say you have got a solid, reliable player in Brown, but don't expect outstanding pace. However, Steve Price has coached him, at Cronulla, so should know what he is capable of.

Thanks for that it makes more sense now. May even be to keep Goodwin happy and settle in better.

oh dear, he's signed for a team who were in the middle 8's last season, who were you expecting Cooper Cronk ?

I haven't seen him, don't know much about him but welcome aboard I guess. We need cover and hopefully he means that Russel will be cover.
