Charlie. That of course is the Leigh version of events.
This side of the Pennines not surprisingly there's a different report on what took place back then.
It goes something like this.
It was Millward that actually recommended them both to Fax in the first place.
As for trying to sign them for nothing Leigh were in trouble and were not in a position to offer them a new contract or maintain their pay packets that's why Stuart Donlan came to Fax.
Mickey Higham was incoming under the same conditions and a contract was in place with Fax but when RM went to Saints he nipped in with the counter offer which some viewed has him going back on his recommendation and being less than ethical.
The RFL were aware of the situation but after Mickey told Fax he wanted to go to Saints then all parties decided there was no point in arguing the case just as there is no point now, Leigh have their version, Fax have theirs.
The rest is factual history and Mickey has been a credit to the game ever since as was SD.
