If Rowley did not want Chase then why was he meeting him in public prior to signing him, he was spotted on multiple occasions so he had to have had input on the agreement.

Tim Sheens did all he could to keep both Paterson & Hansen. Salford also offered Maitua a contract for this year, all 3 chose to get away from Salford the latter after having his wages missed whilst on loan.

Rowley & Ryan are obviously close & im sure over time more info will come out.

Although Leigh are not my favourite team and I am not always impressed with the way DB comes across in the media you cannot knock his financial support & ability to attract quality players to the club. If teams like Wakefield and Bradford had somebody like him behind them they would probably put up with the media stuff because of the players he can seemingly attract even now when Leigh are plastered in the press for the wrong reasons.

For what its worth & knowing the industry I do believe Leigh have been hard done to recently, I do believe Rowley & Ryan will come out of this in the future looking a lot worse than the Leigh club.

The old proverb of "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" springs to mind.

I will leave it at that for now but more will transpire.

Saw Sam Barlow today at the game (got hit on the head by a kick to touch). Hopefully he will be back in contention for a first team jersey soon. Looked well!

He was up at my mate ging dong's rugby club flogging insurance a couple of weeks ago....
