Got to Laugh at Leigh and how desperate they have become. Good on them and any club on signing quality players from wherever. Sheffield, Bradford, Leigh etc have all brought in quality this year. But I feel Willy Tonga is a poor signing. He has done nothing since leaving the Cowboys. He had a couple of years back at Parramatta where he was frankly rubbish and often injured. In the end even Parra got rid of him. Ended up at Catalans where in attack OK but his defending was awful and they were happy to get rid. 32 and not had a decent season for over 5 years and injury prone. Sorry but theres better out there. Leigh have money to spend and good on them. But some of the signings are very much high risk that could easily backfire on them. Paul Rowley will have his nhands full next season and I would not be surprised if he didnt last the season out. A lot of egos at Leigh. I hope it doesnt end up in financial ruin for them.

What a self-obsessed @rsehole. I couldn't make it through that as I was starting to feel nauseous. I'll be the first one to laugh out loud when this buffoon's empire comes crashing down.

DB and the club wanted him and DB made up the shortfall. I don't think you can knock him for following through with his ambition for the club. As always we will see what happens at the end of next season. Was it folly to sign Rangi or will be a great coo for Leigh? As long as they lose to us I don't mind Rangi playing in our league ! It's keeping us talking and hopefully the media too will have more interest and coverage in our league because of the well known names Leigh have signed. UTFAX!
