another youngster slips through the net : Sat May 02, 2009 8:30 pm  

i believe that young darren jackson from leigh miners has been lost to widnes! this is a killer blow to the centurions as he is a cracking hooker in the cunningham mode!!! it is understood that Leigh couldnt give him a decent enough wage!!!! maybe its time we made a swoop for young keiron dainty

WTF you guys on about????

darren's been playing for miners since he was seven, his dream has always been to play for is beloved leigh centurions, but that seems to be slipping away with leigh showing no interest in this very talented young individual.

If Widnes offered more then they obviously have more money than we do, is that Leighs fault?

But Widnes offered MORE MONEY than Leigh

So Leigh did show an interest , but not enough to change the dream of a lifetime

All about values I suppose

I guess the reality is we can't sign everybody for the money they all want.
Some you win, some you lose - but it sounds like all parties have got what they want out of this...so good luck to all concerned.

Maybe we took into account the last two 'young' players (not counting Riddy and AJ as both were from the open age team) we signed from miners who gave back word? Once bitten twice shy perhaps (or twice bitten in this case)
If he's only after the money good luck to him.

so which is his main dream, to play for leigh or accept the bigger pay packet?
