Is McNally off then?

Norman try to keep pace McNally is out injured for what could be most of the season,this is my point Leigh have not sat on their Jacksys they have snapped up a replacement and will move on,that's why I'm saying we at Fax could fall behind,who is to say Simon Grix is fit ,and ready for the test of Championship Rugby he will go from a squad member to a star signing with plenty of expectation on his shoulders,I'm not sure he will be up to it.ARE YOU?

I for one am glad we've got the Board we have. I wouldn't want Beaumont within 10 yards of our club.

I agree 100%

He's an arrogant, loud-mouthed, tool who thinks that because he has money he can do what he likes. Well Koucash didn't get away with it and he could buy out Beaumont from his back pocket.

Lee Smith will be a good addition to Leigh, quality player with a bucket load of experience at the highest level.

Fax aren't Leigh or any other team, why do we have to compare everything Leigh do to what Fax do every time.

Fax aren't DB or any other individual, we are a team in every department including when it comes to the board room, that bit I do like and would choose that set up every time.

Fax are spending the funds and after giving it a lot of thought which included the board and coaching staff decided to go about it in a completely different way and I would back their judgement as to what is best for us against what someone from outside is doing every time.

Interesting Paul Rowley coming out and stating that it wasnt health issues the reason why he left Leigh and saying he is a man of integrity and there were things going on that he did not want to be involved in.

I also hear one of their big name signings got in a little bit of trouble doing something he shouldnt have been which might be connected to this and that situation is still ongoing.

Have you ever met Derek?He is NOT arrogant or loud mouthed, YES he isn't afraid to give his opinion or say what he thinks, what's wrong with that?We are all entitled to our opinions the world would be a boring place if we all had the same opinion.I can assure you you wouldn't be bored in the company of Derek,the guy loves Leigh and is determined to do his best for the Club , again what's wrong with that.
When Leigh play Fax at the Shay in March you will see for yourself what the Leigh fans think of Derek by the attendance,stop being bitter.Derek and Marwan are very good friends ,I have met Marwan a few times and believe me they may have similar views in Rugby but you can't compare them,anyway look at the good players you will see when Leigh visit,and don't be bitter.You have Grix, Tyrer,Moore, and Bracek.

Greg , Paul has now left, The King is Dead, Long Live the King,we willmove on with Neil Jukes,whatever Pauls reasons were he made the decision to leave,I respect that,as for our big name signings getting into trouble,all players get boisterous at times,I don't know what you have heard but whatever it was ,Leigh Centurions will survive and March on.You will see this in March.Should be interesting how many Leythers March into Batley tomorrow, you can say the attendance at Mount Pleasant will be bigger than at the Shay.Charlie knows that.Enjoy your game tomorrow.

It would seem I'm not, I didn't realise McNally as out for that long.

On the subject of Degsy, we have a club with a group of individuals coming together to help us progress, Leigh have Degsy and his money to help them. Who's to say which is best but for me, and it seems a number of other Fax fans we are happy with the way our club is going. The worry if having one person bankroll you is that if he gets bored or runs out of cash you're scuppered.

Anyway, hopefully the game will still be on tomorrow and we can at last enjoy some meaningful rugby.

This thread is about Lee Smith and the pros and cons of his signing isn't it?Whatever Paul Rowley felt he had to do give himself peace of mind is Pauls business not ours.I believe in a live and let live society,as for Lee Smith, I think Leigh and Mr Beaumont have done very well in filling the spot for Lee to take over from Greg McNally , maybe if we at Fax had a bit of Mr Beaumonts bottle we would have spent a bit of cash and added a bit more quality to our Squad.
I have just bought a jacket for the Flak.
