Not only have we lost Hoppy, but Im hearing that we are going to lose a Hooker a Winger and one of the best half backs in the league in 2014.
Come on Leigh what is going on?

We're having our best talent picked off - what do you expect Leigh to do, at this present time, when a SL club comes knocking for a player?

Care to elaborate then someone in the know may respond???

Hearsay, as it stands only Hoppy leaving atm, I presume you mean, Bob, Ryan and Hill or Johnny? Money talk and next years moneys not on the table yet, so lets wait and see what happens, if us fans want to keep players like these, join LISA/TOUCHDOWN club and you can help to stop them leaving.,........that is all

we don't lose TOO many players to the non relegation league do we ?
Ellis/Nash/Hill/Hopkins ?
Pointless topic.

Penky ......Fev

Ryan.........Wire/Saints

Jonny........?

It is not a situation confined to RL it happens in all sports, the best players migrate to the best teams. If players are to be retained then Leigh have to become one of the best teams. Simples

It won't happen overnight but it is a lot nearer to happening than a couple of months back.

Thanks for letting our BOD know

Cryer, you won't spoil the current positive vibe around the club.
Sam was leaving 'weeks ago'....to somebody (except Salford)

Spot on Mr Chairman.

It is astonishing to me that people who do not come to our games anymore still come on this board to criticise'yet do sod all to contribute to club finances.

People in Leigh and the locality need to come to games then we might get to where I want us to be.

Over the years of my watching I don't always agree with what goes on but I want my club to be the best and not attending games would not help that would it.

Well said Frank.

I can understand frustration when we lose a player and the negatives it sends out.

For Leigh to get people back in numbers we must really buck the trend as RL popularity (in terms of fans watching) is sliding , I feel our goal is achievable if the new BOD / BOM make the right decisions and always keep striving for better but it'll take a lot of hard work every hour of every day by them all.
I don't like the link with Wigan - totally hate it , don't like watching Wigan's players (or anyone elses) play for Leigh however I also know that to stop that I've got to keep turning up and maybe biting my lip as if I don't turn up the amount of Wigan players will undoubtedly grow and eventually Leigh will disappear.
If fans don't do the hard stuff now (and these are dark days - lets not dress it up) then further down the line we'll just be a club that's remembered for its history, maybe a few more need to 'bite that lip' (and no, its not nice) to ensure our club starts to rebuild and have a bright long term future.

Just look at it as we are using them and not the other way round.

I didn't realise Fev were in Super League?

As I said join Lisa/ touchdown club more money we make means less players will leave to our rivals, anyone who good enough for SL we can't stop till we are good enough to be inSL

I don't think we are any more at threat at losing players than any other team in our league,over the years Fax,Fev and others have lost players to SL.Its all relevant to where you are just look at Wigan they could lose 2 or 3 players to Australia at the end of the season.Even Utd lost their best player to a bigger club a few seasons ago.

Correctamundo. Thats how simple the situation is. Onwards and upwards.

Like has been said players will always want to go to the best clubs, so we have to strive to be one of the best clubs and to do that we need the stay aways and new fans to support this great club.

What utter drivel posted by such a malicious poster, ignore

I should imagine that you will be the last to know what is going on in a player/agent talk. You really should stay off this MB. It's not very professional for anyone from the new set up posting banter on the MB. Okay use it to pass some new information on about Leigh RLFC, although I think that should be done by administration staff.

Thanks for the advice.

The other BOD members are quite happy that I contribute to the MB as it helps curb some of the negative nonsense and malicious trouble making which does the club no good what so ever.

By the way that's two posts in a row you haven't spouted poop about Partnerships and Wigan now so keep it up.

Andy

I thought Penky said that He'd always wanted to play for his Home town team, well if the above is true then it didn't last very long did it

Think about it logically.

Sean Penk 30+ probably only a couple more in seasons in him. Is he really going to up route from familiar surroundings, close to home to travel up the M62 twice a week? when he's done it for the majority of his career? I doubt it.

Brierley, possibly but I think he'll want another year at least at Leigh starting 7 every week but we've got good cover in the halves plus Ward and Pendlebury in the 20s if he does leave.

Pownall? Would only go full time to a Super League club - if it happens, it happens.

I think Cryer64 is way off the mark.

Best two hookers on form, Beswick and Nicholson. It hasn't really worked out for Sean, that happens sometimes when you move clubs. He may have a brilliant run in though
