Only the small matter of about 300k? Im really sure Degsy can afford to make that up with little worry. He's a business man, if you think he has not had sleepless nights thinking about that sort of money you are a bigger clown than you normally make out.

Pretty much nailed it pal

What you are getting confused with Greg pal is what you want to happen and what is exactly happening...

£300k was lost in prize money however the truth is it had zero effect on Leigh Rugby League club, BECAUSE Derek chose to plug the missing prize money.....

If in your deluded Yorkshire mind set you want to tell yourself Derek had sleepless nights over that, then go right ahead....



Meanwhile you keep spending your winnings on the likes of Gaz Moore

Let's just take each game as it comes rather than be over confident like last year and slate other teams like Halifax and Sheffield who both finished above us in the middle eights and completely shut us up. Or you could slate other teams if you wanted but don't start crying because you can give it but can't take it when we get over confident and think we've won something before its even happened and we get the Micky took out of us.

For example middle eights Halifax away talking about how we would go 4th when we won before the game even kicked off only to be absolutley outplayed off the field.

Yes I am a Leigh fan but I will say it how it is its about time we started respecting opposition. Let's go about out business quietly because of it all goes tits up half of you can't take the banter

If you cant take dont give....

we will get promoted!!

no you wont

time will tell...

The only thing I will offer on the above, is, we finished where we did because we did not perform well enough but also instrumental was the throwing of games in the last week of the 8s by Wakey and Bradford (I think it was Bradford). We would still only have finished 7th I think.

Its probably no consolation but Fax would have beat Bradford's full team anyway. Lowes knew it which is why he couldnt have that happen and have his team go in to the million pound game on the back of a defeat to a Championship side that was nowhere near good enough to get to that game.

What are you taking Il have some off it

...and here was me expecting to read a debate on Josh Charney.

Dear oh dear some love the sound of their own keyboards

Josh Charney now





cmon you Leighers why oh why would Josh want to drop a division and come to Leigh he is an international Win ger who plays in front of 10,000 plus crowds with good money get real and stop believing the hype.

Can't see Wigan reserves pulling crowds like that!
