Rangi Chase confirmed, as well as Harrison Hansen, Corey Patterson and Reni Maitua to Leigh. I know Rangis had his problems, but if he screws his head on correctly, he is one hell of a player to be in the championship, he was man of steel in SL a few years back! Be interesting to see what happens with the salary cap...
Leigh reckon the salary cap does not apply to them ! If this was NRL they would strip them all competition points and finish them bottom but we are talking nigel wood.....probably a £10k fine and he will think thats sufficient
I had thought of starting a thread "where did it go wrong" in relation to Leigh's end of season. What stopped me? Well, I realised all we would have had would be gloating. Comments about Derek and Charlie. No real substance. Get over it, your happy now, me? well yes I am happy, two games yesterday, one team won, one team lost, "Well-in"

Have a good evening John.
Leigh finishing bottom with just one win is a huge surprise, as is us finishing 6th what an achievement and getting the £787K is HUGE for us. Leigh will bounce back I am sure but a team full of stars doesn't always work its a team game and we have fantastic team spirit led by a great team off the field so we will also be a threat next year with a couple more decent signings.

Leigh are moving in a direction that will only end up in tears.
As for us, best points difference out of all the championship teams by some distance, better attack than Wakey, better defence than Salford. That is phenomenal for a part time team. Our work ethic in defence is second to non and our players put their bodies on the line each and every week for their team mates no matter who the opposition are. Bradford and Leigh may have the big time charlies but for the most, leigh especially, they are on a downward slope in the careers and only care about the pay checks, we have a team that lives rugby league.

I really wouldn't want Fax to be signing the likes of Chase and Hansen.
