Mo there are more Questions than Answers ,next season will be a very good one 2 names from Wigan i heard this morning were Burgess and Fraser-Lyon ,as you say it will be very interesting to see how this Wigan partnership developes , i personally think it will benefit Leigh , if done right .

As for for Derek B making a return

you could be right



i heard somthing at the week-end on those lines .

What positions do the two Wigan lads play charlie?

Lyon-Fraser is a fullback and Powell a halfback.

Still can't see PR having duels in for those positions if we can fill them with our own contracted players.

Maybe the question will be put to PR at the next Fans Forum.

what happens when the parent club gets injuries,we probably de register them then go for another.come the end of the season have they got enough games in to play in the play offs.if we have lots of injuries (like this year) all the hard work will be for nothing again.dont know if the rfl have changed how this will work or not.
if its been mentioned already soz must have missed it.lookin forward to the new season though.

In this morning's League Express-

so 20 odd pages and its still not clear enough for everyone.
I could only tell you what Paul told me, which as I see it we will be having some dual reg players from Wigan, he didn't say how many, he didn't say we won't be having any from other clubs other then we can't have any off Wire and Saints as theyve "twinned" , he did say it was his decision who played and who didn't. So I beleive what Paul said .
However its has its disadvantages like last year when Laithwiate played the majority of his games for us and because Hull had him for a couple of weeks on loan it stopped us having him in the playoffs, it should go off how many games they've played in a season IMHO.
We ended up with loads of injuries at the businbess end of the season and only had one dual reg player available to us, if theres a chance of this happening again, Id rather not bother at all.
We still are playing catch up and dont have enough funds to have just our own playrs unfortunately if we did, Im sure paul wouldn't have any duals at all.

Like I said umpteen pages back your wasting your 'breath' Lynda most would sooner believe pub rumour than fact.

One is a Full-back the other is a Winger .

With McNally, Kes & Pownall we don't need another FB but we definately need wingers with McGilvray & Clay now gone & a centre wouldn't go a miss hopefully a centre that's not a DC though.

The positions of the DCs we are talking about will obviously depend on what PR , thinks the club will benefit from , ive seen a couple of the Wigan lads , and think Joe Burgess the winger is lightening fast , along with Lewis Tierney ,i think with hopefully Spencer returning in our forwards we are fairley well covered in the Pack , and at Half -Back now .

Our current Squad is looking very strong , and a couple of good young DCs will put us up there maybe ahead of Fev next year , Wigan have some Quality lads , why not take advantage of them .

Thanks charlie and Frank for your answers.

I'd say that for most fans of Leigh Centurions no-one knows the full details of the link with Wigan and I'd imagine most have more questions than answers at this minute in time.
I'm surprised the club haven't officially commented thus far, indeed it probably fuels the rumours that Fred alludes to as without anything 100% factual from the club people will start to jump to conclusions.

I'm getting the hang of this now.



The RFL is still clarifying its position on these links, twinnings, partnerships, marriages, liaisons, couplings, or whatever you want to call them.

However, as of yesterday when our CEO was asked the question outright, there is no link with W***n. He steadfastly refuses to comment on something that hasn't been done, beyond his comment at the last Fans Forum, that Leigh will never become a feeder club of W***n, or anyone else in Sooper Dooper League.

I've got it Alan. They are "swingers". They can can go with who they like when they like.
But does that make the fans "doggers"?

only if you're at Penni flash

Aw I haven't got a dog - if I get a dog can I be a dogger too?

I'm not 100% sure on the ins & outs of dogging & if it involves beastiality too

According to the wife it is brilliant but she say's I wouldn't like it.

What about Dogger Walls?Also im a fan of Dog Soldiers , its my fave film .

You can watch with me Mish until you get the hang of it

super league players WILL count towards the Championship clubs salary cap. This will be on a sliding scale depending on what the player earns, between £500 and £2000 per player per game. This will not be paid by the club, but will in effect be a reduction in the cap for the Championship team. So having 5 DR players in your championship team for 10 games will reduce the clubs cap by a minimum of £25000!!

and....the salary cap we worked to last year was just above the championship 1 maximum....and we still wupped your backsides....how many times was it?

We could have UPTO 5 DR or loan players stated by PR last night. I am sure Fax are not going to take any loans or DR next season. It also looks like use of loan players or even twinning which we haven't officially done won't count against any SL application in 2014/15. The reason, I reckon we will have two leagues of 10 so as long as you are in the top 6 at the end of 2014 it could be that you will be in SL2.

Well I doubt there will be any Championship side spending anywhere near the salary cap this season.

Leigh have more contracted players than last season so I doubt it will impact on any Championship club never mind ours.

Franchising is surely in its' death throes and I am confident P & R will be back next season.

Maybe our pro game can swiftly recover from this ludicrously self evident'doomed to failure' idea of licenscing which has done great harm to our game.

Clear statement of intent by KF at the Forum, and change is in the RFL air at present.

Good. However, as anyone at Red Hall will tell you, the Game's governing body, (i.e. the RFL) has only got one vote in Sooper Dooper League Europe. That would suggest that, it's whatever the SL clubs vote for, that will be the way forward. Of course, all it needs is a few of those turkeys to vote for Christmas, eh?
