There are some players I liked amongst that side - some who went well prior.
Forwards were better than the backs mind you.

Knuckles Greenhill must have been on the bench that week to provide a bit of impact.

We were getting so many things wrong with players comings and goings around that time it was no surprise we ended up getting relegated
Letting Wayne Bartrim go, not signing Chris Hill when we had the chance there were a number of other crackpot desicions in that era

No overseas players in this line up either- depending on Mark Lennon who I think was capped by Wales.
Was this about the time we drafted in a lumberjack of a prop called Mark something who was an Aussie from London Broncos who added a bit of fight to the struggle

Mark Tookey. We signed him from NZ Warriors and he went to London after we were relegated.

Chris Hill came much later mate, he didn’t debut for Leigh until 2005, signed for Wire around 2012

We signed greenhill and Sean Ryan from Hull they were both ale carts. Having said that Greenhill and Lynch were the top 2 meter making forwards the year before. Ryan’s crowning glory was laying Rob Burrow out down the lane. We also signed Sherriden who did his shoulder in the cup at hull and never played for us again. I think Ryan was injured a lot too.

I'm pretty sure that this was 2003. Notice Andy Johnson in the list and he departed us at the end of 2003. Same with Mark Lennon he wasnt with us in 2004 the year we got relegated.

Didn’t we also sign Mellor and Newlove in the centres and both were injured most of the season? Mellor looked OK when he played.
Also Luke Robinson on loan who looked like he was helping Wagga to turn things round but Wigan had an injury crisis and recalled him. Not to mention Ellery Hanley!

Sheridan hardly played same for Newlove the two forwards who looked good at Hull were mainly awful

Wouldn’t have been relegated with that side if Daryl had the reins and brought in one or two vital players. Miff was playing then too, Mellor ended up excellent on the wing but rubbish in the centre IMO.

Motu Tony came over, Daryl would have used him very well.
