Joking aside, I'm delighted Leigh have come up and are clearly aiming far higher than eleventh place. Increases levels of competition so very much a good thing and puts pressure on others to make greater efforts to avoid the drop.

Warrington must be s******* themselves

Agreed. Good post mate, and thanks.

Yeh I'm sure his input for Australia at the WC was critical. They had no chance without him....

By the end at Wigan he was a completely broken man, out of his depth with no idea.
As pointed out, he clearly found his level with endless funds and unlimited OQ players, playing against part timers.

Back with the big boys now...
Best of luck!

Ak the Wigan fans about him, Wigan are different from Hull, they have to win something to be successful, he failed to do that at Wigan and had he been a success he would still be there. He had a established squad and the one of the best youth systems in the league and still underperformed.

Haven't you already currently got 9 overseas players (Lam off quota and releasing Neve)?

Not sure what Hull have to do with this, that irrelevant, but we have made a grand final in 2007, we lost , I don't see that as a success and I'm sure Wigan fans don't either. No one remembers final and semi loses for good reasons.

2006. we won it in 2007.



intriguing season for leigh.
mid table security?
fight to stay up?
abject failures?

could be any of the three

Well Deggsey hasnt been shy of splashing the cash so at least it wont be boring.
Good on him, got a mouth on him but has backed it up and backed his team.

Personally I hope they can shake it up at the bottom and do well.

I genuinely think that, even though Leeds Live have said Nene MacDonald as a done deal and club haven’t confirmed it, that the deal may have fallen through. I don’t see why Leeds wouldn’t have confirmed it by now.

I thought you said he'd had his photos done? Surely that wouldn't have happened before a deal was agreed.

Maybe GH wasn’t talking nonsense after all

...or maybe he wasn't due to start training until this week, along with other WC players? I think that's what Smith said.

He was, but could they of done that before medical? I’m probably over thinking it, but like I say, it’s strange it’s not been announced yet.

The take it with a pinch of salt rumour ive hearf is that Leeds are saying they want Leigh to pay part of his wages which has stalled the deal.
