I’ve heard Craven will sign for Leigh next season, we have signed Jnr Sau today,and Mitch Clark for the rest of the season,ready for the play offs.  |

I presume junior Sa'u is aware that his contract will be a re-nogotiable one, timing likely to be mid season.

Im sticking to my prediction that it won't all go pop at Leigh again within the next 2 seasons. 
Seriously though I can't see sense in Poundshop Koukash wasting his money this year when the league could be easy pickings next year when Toronto go up and London come down.

Derek is spending because I think he wants to go to Wembley as his Company is sponsoring the 1895 Cup.At the beginning of the season he stated he was taking a back seat in the signing of players ,I think he may try to challenge Toronto this season.We also signed Adam Higson yesterday.

So as I mentioned previously, do all these signings fit under your salary sombrero? |

Norman as far as I know they do, Derek isn’t stupid,and we have been unloading players, Hock has retired and Gregson signed by Swinton, a couple of other may be shown the door soon.Also I don’t think we were paying big money at the start of the season,some as little as 10 grand a season,I was told.Larroyer left us for a much bigger contract with Fax. |

Spending for an end of season run is a good use of resources provided you are around the top five. If you get the players before the transfer window closes you could assemble a squad that could cause an upset and get promoted, or at the very least earn a good lump of prize money.

Aye it is. Just a pity for those players he shat on last year. |

As I said it’s the A and B Sundecks 1895 Cup and Derek wants to win it, hence our new signings, maybe more in the coming weeks to challenge Toronto.

| Quote: Hudd-Shay "
Pete very few players were dumped by Derek last year, he gave them enough time to find new Clubs and most did,maybe Evans, and Larroyer were worst affected but both found Clubs after settlement.
Derek then told the Leigh fans the situation and how it would affect the Club,with reduced contracts and crowds staying good , he now feels its time to make a move recruiting players.
We now have an impressive squad , not on huge contracts, who are happy , it’s a win win for Leigh and the fans.
I don’t think Matuatia,Bodene Thompson,Hall,Crooks,Dawson,Vai Vai,or Hutchison will complain , they moved on,as have we.
Only Widnes stand between us and a Wembley appearance,as only Saints stand between Fax and the same.May see you on Wembley Way.

That does surprise me, as I thought Larroyer was full time at Leigh and he's part time at Fax.
It's all well and good having a sugar daddy like Derek to support Leigh, and I think you'll give Toronto more than a fright as they're not "that" much better - Fev gave them a real tough game last week. But being so relient on one person is like building on foundations of sand. We suffered badly when Tony Gartland left, and Leigh themselves had a taste last year. Likewise Hudds is a disaster waiting to happen once Davy is gone. |

Fuzzy, I agree with you about your statement about having one bloke in charge, much better a Board for me , but that’s the way it is,before Derek years ago we had a guy called Keith Bell, he was a disaster for us.
As for my Larroyer statement?I meant he was offered a reduced contract at Leigh to stay , but chose to move to Fax for a better one. |
