I wouldnt take either and dont really expect RM to either. Both will want more money than a lot of our players are on and im not sure they offer value for money compared to what we have. I know Sam has been trying to come back for most of the season but he wouldnt be a popular choice with our players. No big time charlies at our place just good honest players who turn up week in week out.
Good evening GFB. On the subject of salaries at Leigh, I picked up an interesting comment from Paul Rowley in his (very humble) interview following Saturday's latest debacle in the Qualifiers.
He was talking about having to adapt to a full time environment. Pre full-time, he stated the obvious, that the players were working in the day and then having to train hard afterwards - just like your guys have been doing, although I don't think we had any window cleaners. (Ridyard's dad being the only one I can think of
)
The surprising comment came when he explained that this season, our lads have been training in the daylight, (you may be forgiven for having assumed otherwise, after our trip to the Shay last week) and then going out to work in the evenings!
I hate to thinK what they have been doing then, but was surprised that they would need to have to do that, as full time professionals.
Maybe they aren't being paid as much as many of us may have thought?
