Leigh legend Trevor Cogger has given a ringing endorsement to the Centurions’ signing of Fuifui Moimoi and says his impact on the English game will be felt far outside the boundaries of WN7.
Cogger, a hugely popular guest player from Western Suburbs in 1985-86 was speaking on Leigh Centurions TV at Leigh Sports Village.
He returned to the town to follow the progress of his son Jack playing for the Australian Schoolboys side and met up with many old colleagues from Leigh’s second division championship-winning side of nearly 30 years ago.
Cogger, who holds the all-time record for most Wests appearances in all grades, is still a keen student of the NRL in Australia and is delighted that Moimoi is following in his footsteps in playing for Leigh.
“It’s great that Leigh have secured Fui’s services,” Cogger said. “It’s great for Fui and great for Leigh and he’ll fit in well with the atmosphere of the English game.
“In Australia not many teams get loud vocal support but Fui gets that on a personal basis and that leads onto great support for Parramatta. The Leigh fans are passionate and love their Rugby League and he’ll be made to feel at home here straight away.
“Fui’s 35 but he’s still a big name and he knows how to play footy. He’ll be as an asset not only to Leigh but the English game. I’m sure Fui will continue on from his great performances back home and that Leigh continue on from the great season they had in 2014.
“It’s a fantastic signing- one that has certainly made the news in Australia. I’ll be following his progress with great interest.
“I only played for two clubs- Wests and Leigh- and my biggest regret was that I never came back to play for Leigh for a second season. I loved my time at Leigh and it’s been fantastic to come back and see the great facilities at the Leigh Sports Village and see how well the team is doing.
“The welcome I’ve had has been amazing and people can’t do enough for me. I hope it won’t be nearly 30 years before I come back again.”
Leigh Centurions TV is available on a subscription service for £32 per annum. More details on the Leigh Centurions website at www.leighcenturions.com |

Good player as Cogger was, and whilst I endorse his views about Moimoi, I'd hardly describe him (Cogger) as a "legend."

Editorial or in this case producers licence Alan In my opinion every player who pulled/pulls on the Leigh RFC/Centurions shirt is a Legend and whilst I am the nominated (notice nominated not self appointed something I never wanted and will relinquish at any time the BOD wish to replace me) leader of LC TV the production licence is mine.

Trevor is one of Wests biggest ever legends, who spent a season with us that he seemed to enjoy and I recall him as being fearless for such a small guy

John Woods is a Leigh legend and Trevor Cogger is a Leigh legend. That sentence isn't factually correct or 'legend' has been redefined.

Only in half the sentence, reffy. 
Maurice may well be right when he describes Cogger as a Wests legend, but I still can't elevate him to that status for his time spent at Leigh. |

Alan I totally agree with you , we have had many great and many good players at Leigh , over the years ,not many can be classed as Legends , Cogger only played a season at Leigh , was a good player , a Legend ?No Way . |

Brilliant interview Trevor was a great player in his time at Leigh and what a top fella it was a great move by Alex Murphy to get Trevor over to Leigh and paid off big style that season it was a has usual another top murph signing to get such a experienced Aussie All the best to Trevor and his family for Xmas and 2015 hope his lad Jack goes all the way and gets full Aussie honours in years to come..

Ah...a bit of hyperbole isn't unusual. Great to have an interview with the bloke for sure and perfectly natural to bring up FFMM with a fellow player from Down Under and get his take on it. It is odd though that there seems to be a need to wheel out an ex-player, legend or not, to publicly endorse a signing (did he realise it would be the feature of a press release?). Surely, it cannot betray any feeling of insecurity on the part of the BOM that they need to defend their investment? I've only noted one Leigh fan "the Watcher" who seems to think this was not a really great signing. Non-Leigh fans will not give two hoots about what Mr Cogger says so I am not really sure what it's trying to achieve. But from a heritage point of view, great to hear from a player who is fondly remembered, albeit one a bit before my time.

Not arguing with your opinion Fred - just expressing mine as well. After all, who's to say who is right and who is wrong, eh?
As for applying for your job? No thanks, I don't have the hours and hours to spend on it, even if I did have your expertise! |

I for one found Trevors comments interesting,I was living overseas when he played for Leigh and can't comment on his legendary status one way or the other but see no harm at all in calling a rugby legend as his overall playing record probably justifies it.
Some people on here are like kids and love to pick holes in everything I'm sure they write the letters in the Journal which is a weekly moan fest, the guided bus route is happening ,get over it!!!!!!

No problem with him being termed a 'rugby legend', but not a Leigh one. The likes of Tony Iro and Ian Schubert could arguably be called rugby legends, but their stints at Leigh didn't justify them becoming Leigh legends - all in my opinion of course |

I am with Alan on this.
As a fine a player Trevor was for us in the second division I would struggle to recall his defining moment in a Leigh shirt. Probably being carried off at Keighley suffering from mild hyperthermia if I am honest.
How do we distinguish the real Leigh legends like Murphy, Ledgard, Woods and Trevor Allan's of the world from all the legends who ever pulled on a Leigh shirt once?
And Fred stop acting like a big girls blouse for once.

Why does anyone care so much?
I could call any player who has represented Leigh a 'Leigh Legend' because it's strictly a matter of opinion.
So I agree with everyone. Except if you're passing your opinion off as fact, then I very much do not agree.
