and all started by a journo.

Rumour is his dad has told him he will sack him and remove him from the will if he doesn't sign this time.

In a nutshell......yes.

Just using this as an example.....

So you believed the statement the club put out about its license application last season and the fact that the club knew nothing about the fans demonstration etc?

Cos I can assure you that was press spin too

The point im making is everything that the club puts its name to isn't always 100% factual!! Even if they claim it is!

Lets also remember the fact that this statement was from Penky to the Courier. Nothing to do with the club.

So your talking about your Spirit of 1885 crusade? Well I sure the club were aware of it but kept their distance as any other professional club would do in any sport.

A press spin is very different to fact.

Now then, give me something proper that the club have said that isn't factual?

And yes like Nat said - Player to newspaper story - where the player happens to be playing for Halifax RLFC. I suppose that's the clubs fault too.

I like KH's apparent comment..

"if you don't want to play for fax then fu** off"

We all love Penky but if he wants out then thankyou and



Bring on the next outstanding 9 (there's plenty out there).

with the team recruitments occuring and DP comments that Fax have all the brass why on earth would Penky want out now? Hope he stays but there's life after Penky.

The manner of Dane Manning`s injury?

At what point was it not factual - the news was just slow to come to the forefront surely?

Well it didn't happen on the rugby field for one and to go back to your previous comment, we ran the spirit of 1873 crusade (as you put it) at the request of the club! It was there idea, we merely fronted it!!

exactly!

im sure Penky has decided one way or another, and all that he apparently said to the courier (hardly 100% accurate themselves!!!) has been spun the way the club wanted it.

If he leaves then he goes with my best wishes, as long as he performs as well as we all know he can in the next (hopefully) 3 games of the season.

Fax legend - they come and go though.

to be fair Chris, the player sponsor and Penky were sat next to me and penky was sat two seats from me when he said he hadn't signed - so i believed him, its not any BS from the club or player or press

Technically he can't sign for anyone else yet, surely?

If he eventually does come to Leigh, I'll be delighted, but I'm sure he will give absolutely everything to 'Fax in your last game/2 games/3 games. That's the way he's always played.
