How many club trained players, if any, do Leigh have?

I don't even think they have an academy. I remember one Leigh fan saying they weren't allowed to have one because they were in the Championship.

I think its 8 or 9 of the full time squad from this season, which is pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see what they can do, if they can attract more players from the local catchment areas now theyre a superleague club. I see a couple of the lads signed by saints this week were from Leigh East & Leigh Miners

That would be the Glenn Stewart who's son has learning difficulties. He requested an early release from his contract for this family reason. His son has been struggling due to the language barrier and he and his wife wanted to move him to a school where the language was English so as to ease the pressure on his son. No lies there, he's been upfront about it.

That was not explained by the BBC website. Naturally I assumed the worst interpretation.

Glenn Stewart is a liar and a backstabber. He asked for a release for family reasons. That usually means he or his wife wants to return home. Catalans feels sorry for him and expects him to return to Australia. Instead he signs for an English club within days. What a deceitful person!.

Good luck with him, Leigh

Methinks that certain words of that statement should be retracted before you start receiving calls from his solicitors citing libel / defamation of character...

I bet Glenn is furious.
