It's all about money and ego. Sorry Ryan but your ability is not that to be a regular SL player. Holding a club to ransom, a club that has developed you over the last few years the guy is a disgrace and a hype job. Let him go now instead of serving his notice. If he wants to go to Bradford or Huddesfield Reserves good luck to him. There are 19 year olds performing in SL that are far superior to what he believes he is.

As for the rest who have refused to train because they want to move to Wigan, Not training because Rangi is on this and getting away with that. Your professional rugby players do your job to the best of your ability then may be a club may come in for you. Some of the players are showing a huge disrespect to the club and the supporters, I didn't agree with the Rangi signing but at the end of the day how many people bought shirts with his name on? How many people decided to get a season ticket on the back of the signing? He's the highest paid because of that!! And he showed in 5 minutes against London he can change a game. we need Derek to get back in his cave and stop threatening legal action every 5 minutes. We need a strong coach who can bring discipline to the rable not someone who needs to run off to DB when an issue arises.and we need some of them players to realise your championship players playing in some cases against semi pros, your not johnathan thurston!!!

Not knowing the ins and outs of what is happening at your club the one thing I do think you need is a strong coach who knows his own mind. Jukes may be the man but I think DB will have too much inluence over him, it starting to smell like the Leeds United scenario all over again.
Salford and Marwan have now realised you need to let your coach do his job, and your chairman/owner do his.

'Just swap him for Gaskell....' Lee Gaskell is happy at Bradford at the moment and I seriously doubt either Bradford Bulls are looking to offer him or Lee would be looking to join your circus. Feel sorry for the genuine Leigh fans that despite finding a rich owner to bankroll you, he's an embarrassment to your club in my opinion.

When good RL people like the Rowley's of this world no longer want to be involved with the club, this would raise alarm bells for me.

But that's what we do.
Regardless of the BS coming from our clubs, we believe it, we defend it against ridicule from fans of other clubs regardless of how ridiculous the situation is presented to us, and we continue to seek the positive.... simply because we don't want to contemplate any worse case scenarios.... those are the rules.
The sheeite Feisal Nahaboo trotted out was lapped up by almost all of us. We took it and defended the stuff thrown at us.... Predominantly from leigh and fax fans....
Leigh at the mo is pure comedy theatre from the outside looking in.
You couldn't write the script developing this week.

Of course the 50k was a sweetener.

Higham and Smith were not getting along and were falling out over the lack of an offer for the next season to Mickey. Leigh were obviously aware of this disagreement with Mickey being a Leigh lad and took advantage of it.

It was cheeky and I understand why Wire were p*ssed off but it was all done through the proper channels. Warrington, despite being annoyed have never said that we did anything wrong. Just that they were unhappy with it.

The offer to Higham went through Warrington first. FACT.

This offer has seemingly gone straight to Brierley and his agent without ever approaching or informing Leigh Centurions.

You are just wrong on this one.

Nope, you're wrong on the wire bit. As a club if we're not renewing a contract, were happy to let players talk to other clubs before the deadline, Leigh were out of order dangling the very much needed deal for 2015 to higham and putting pressure on him to leave us in the poop without a fit first team hooker, and a senior squad leader.


That's when he and Smith started having problems. That's when Smith and Rowley started having problems as well. And iirc there was a typical and needless Derek style dig in the press release when he was transferred.

Anyone seen the tweet from Ryan's agent! Embarrassing! Makes Derek's statements look like works of Shakespeare. No wonder Ryan's contract is such a mess if the guy representing him doesn't have a command of the English language.

Basically inviting Leythers to wake up and smell the nescafe, and ask why so many players are not playing
