Leigh Leopards • Comparing squad strength to 2017

I can’t help thinking the squad assembled so far is nowhere near that of the 2017 version that only won 5 games and finished 2nd bottom, Her it is in it’s full glory:-
Backs:- Greg McNally, Ryan Hampshire, Samisoni Langi, Adam Higson, Lewis Foster, Dan Fleming, Ben Crooks, Mitch Brown, James Clare, Matty Dawson, Martyn Ridyard, Daniel Mortimer, Josh Drinkwater, Ben Reynolds.
Forwards:- Jamie Acton, Gareth Hock, James Green, Sam Hopkins, Liam Hood, Micky Higham, Antoni Maria, Eloi Pelissier, Dane Weston, Danny Tickle, Cory Patterson, Lachlan Burr, Harrison Hansen, Atelea Vea, Dave Thompson, Glen Stewart

Looking at the strength in depth of the forwards it is very impressive indeed. We have the aggressiveness of Props Hock, Acton and Weston, 3 brilliant but different hookers in Higham, Hood and Pollissier, 3 impressive 2nd towers in Stewart, Patterson and Hansen with workhorse Burr at loose forward. A good 30 man squad that could only win 5 matches, but suffered too many injuries. Going off this our 26 man squad needs topping up a.s.a.p.!!
