Leigh confirm partnership with Wigan www.loverugbyleague.com/news_113 ... um=twitter mind ya after that first half last night cant blame them ;(

Infighting on the Leigh forum.

Wigan & surrounding district RLFC increase their chances of actually winning silverware in 2013 by buddying up with Leigh. But only very slightly.....

Sorry, but as a traditionalist & Fax fan, you've sold your souls to the next door neighbours, if Fax did this with Bradford or Huddersfield i'd be gone before the ink on the paper was dry.

.....and me.

Things must really have been desperate. I wonder if the deal just offers some sort of financial security because it sounds like Leigh are on their .

Also makes you wonder why Barrow didnt want to get involved with Wigan despite holding talks but Leigh now fancy it.

I think before we condemn leigh people should get the facts . I thought , perhaps wrong , that the four clubs and barrow who voiced dissent at the dr system laid down certain criteria ie picking only under 23 year olds , not in super league"s teams top twenty earners etc . If Leigh are following those views then you can't really attack them As I've said on previous threads I dontt like the dr system , it distorts the the whole comp , makes a mockery of team selection etc etc .interesting to hear fax"s views if they have broken ranks so let's see what develops and then you can knock em !!!!

For your information Rickster, Leigh currently have a very good crop of U20's, good enough to put 50 points on Fev last week or the week before.

Answer me this:

How do they promote their own kids if they take on Wigan's U23 year olds ? Do you realise how many of Wigan's senior squad actually fall into that age bracket BTW ?

The stupidity of the Leigh administration shows no boundarys

Nevermind Starbug, when the Wigan lads turn up to play for Leigh, at least their Wigan leisurewear matches your Leigh colours.....

Just playing devils advocate Marilion man . As. I've said before the whole thing is wrong . I agree with the loan signing of a player for a minimum period of time ie one or three months etc but to parachute a player in for perhaps one game to get him match fit is morally wrong

If I was a Leigh fan I would feel betrayed as the Leigh CLub said they would not enter into a Partnership with Wigan. OK loan a player or two but to go down the route that you said you wouldnt just a couple of months ago is poor. The statement is more the Leigh board trying to justify things rather than anything else. It starts off as just a Dual Reg and now its turned into a partnership off the field. Who do you think will be calling the shots with this? I doubt it will be Leigh! If this had been Fax I would stop sponsoring players and putting money in. If the club is struggling then least have the balls to say this and why you go in to partnership to help keep the club afloat

Obviously struggling - feel for the die hard leigh supporters who have supported the club through thick and thin
