Totally agree Harry , after I heard the interview I was buzzing , thinking what the future holds for Leigh Centurions , the Derek and Marwan show would be a crowd puller , and what publicity , Cmon Derek , make a statement .

Sounds like a circus to me Charlie.

I will happily take our chances with him on board Luppy, they say quite rightly that you never miss what you have never had, but it's also true to say if you don't give it a go you will never know how it would have worked out. I have supported Leigh for well over half a century and in all that time we have been a middling team with middling finances, a partnership of Derek and Marwen would immediately move Leigh up the ladder in the finance aspect, and it will be great fun to see how high that takes us, especially if the Salary Cap is increased as a lot of people are calling for.

You are going to have to cut down your holidays use the money to pay the equivalent of full price for your season ticket by paying lisa,extra lottery numbers, or a cap full of half time draw tickets.

The sky deal is down from £40mill to £24mill with super league taking £19 mill.
Marquee players want £200k.Dont really see how salary cap can go up much, if at all.Teams will have to cut back on players, which may give non sl teams a chance to pick up some signings though they to will have a cap.Will that be, as DB has argued in the past, the same as sl. .
So out of that £5mill divvy up to the whole of rfl you want us to spend £2.1 mill minimum ?

Not on your Nelly will I cut down on holidays, and I consider that over the years I have donated enough to Leigh RLFC and if you put me on the spot and ask if I have had value for money, I would have to say I suspect not, well jot compared to other supporters of clubs not to far away who would have spent a similar amount of the implications.

Thank you for the lesson re the Sky deal but I am well aware of the rudiments, why would the Championship salary cap be reduced? and all I am eluding to is that with the double barrel of Dek and Doc we would be better placed than most to spend on a team.

But alas it is now 2 weeks since Dr Koukash made his intention known, I think for us fans sadly "no news means bad news" albeit I would love to be wrong.

A good match as enemies but not so much on the same team,

I admire the enthusiasm of your owner but I think his latest tweet criticising Wakefield Trinity because he didn’t like what a supporter posted. The problem is that if he had looked at the picture associated with the person who tweeted he would see that he is actually a Castleford supporter. I may be wrong but I cannot imagine any Wakefield supporter would have a picture of a group of celebrating Castleford players.
