running out his back door when millward came to his house ?

If he's fit you would of thought he'd be trying to get a game somewhere for a contract next season (if not contracted at Leigh) a loan to a Champ one side like Swinton / Oldham wouldn't be the worst thing ever!

If he wants to play. Maybe lost interest if he can't be contacted?

It could of been for a few reasons maybe he just wants to be fit or if he's still coaching the Rangers maybe he's getting fitter so he can push the lads in pre season training. I don't want to see him with us next due to being so injury prone but for us again this season I deffinately wouldn't mind the extra cover from him.

I'm told by someone who saw Tim last weekend that the talk of Ian not being able to contact him is rubbish. Tim's take is apparently that he's been trying to get hold of Ian for about a month and he doesn't want to know so make of that what you will.

This isn't me trying to stir the pot I'm just telling what I was told. Whatever it seems that he's called it a day at least temporarily.

He's (Ian Millward) at every training session, and surely as a contracted player that is where Hartley should be?

you'd think so someone is telling porkies me thinks

TBH who cares, if a player doesnt want to play for Leigh so be it the world won't end because of it.

They should all take the oath of Leyth citizenship, before they sign!
