Our games have always been belters in previous seasons and I don't expect that to change any time soon. we owe you one at your place though

The Championship is alive and kicking and that closed franchise door seems an age ago.

Exactly! Rugby league at the championship level is buzzing!

It was announced tonight ,that another signing will be announced to the Fans on Thursday Night,I can't wait ,this is going to be one stormer of a Team,we trust in Derek Beaumont.

Got to Laugh at Leigh and how desperate they have become. Good on them and any club on signing quality players from wherever. Sheffield, Bradford, Leigh etc have all brought in quality this year. But I feel Willy Tonga is a poor signing. He has done nothing since leaving the Cowboys. He had a couple of years back at Parramatta where he was frankly rubbish and often injured. In the end even Parra got rid of him. Ended up at Catalans where in attack OK but his defending was awful and they were happy to get rid. 32 and not had a decent season for over 5 years and injury prone. Sorry but theres better out there. Leigh have money to spend and good on them. But some of the signings are very much high risk that could easily backfire on them. Paul Rowley will have his nhands full next season and I would not be surprised if he didnt last the season out. A lot of egos at Leigh. I hope it doesnt end up in financial ruin for them.

Any chance of posting a serious comment.

No? Thought not.

They are tasking about getting rid of armstrong.....I would have armstrong over Tonga every day of the week.

Wally Lewis??

Actually that article is quite a good read. It's open and honest - quite refreshing actually, considering who wrote it.

I was actually over in Leigh yesterday for work and managed to snap a quick photo of some of the new Leigh players in training.

Age is nothing but a number.

DB's not going to be pleased with you. He hadn't intending releasing images of our new away kit until the New Year!

Interesting again to see the Halifax fans perspective on signings such as Leigh's.

I think there is becoming an air of cockiness which was quickly thrown right back into the face of the majority of Leigh fans coming directly from this board.

In reality Halifax only just made the middle 8's last time round after a good run and some interesting results from other teams, almost like results affected Leigh in the 8's so I think an outlook of truthful perspective may be required from Halifax and not to get too ahead of yourselves.

On a different note, Willie Tonga only turned 32 in August so he is hardly over the hill, Paterson is 28, Chase is 29, Hansen just turned 30, Maitua turned 33 in June & Weston who has played NRL for 8 years is only 28 also.

Richard Moore for Halifax is 34 but yet had an amazing 2015? was he a poor signing? was he only after a pay cheque you may say? but aren't they all? Scott Murrell is 30,is he too old? Grix is 30, had a serious injury & retired, now he signs for Halifax & is having a testimonial (let me think) no players pay for free no matter how loyal fans think players are.

I am not a supporter of either Halifax or Leigh, but enjoy your teams and lets have a great competitive Championship.
