To be fair I work with someone who knows DB away from Rugby (In fact he knew him before he got involved with Leigh) and on this occasion, the pseudo Frenchmen is right. He is a larger than life character who likes to show off how rich he is.

I now need a beer after posting that.

I've known Derek personally for close on 30 years now , and worked with him in the past at Leigh RLFC

He works hard and plays hard , he earns money and is happy to spend that money , if he didn't , he wouldn't have spent a sizeable chunk of cash on Leigh

Was I surprised when I saw his ' low key ' ' ride ' ? No , he does like to flaunt it a bit , but , if you've earned it , that's your perogative

Personally I never criticise anybody , be that Derek , Argyle or anybody who is willing to finance any RL club , they are few and far between

if bits are dropping off that car I'd take it back


come on we all know he doesn't want it on the front and to say it dropped off is childish, there is always someone who thinks they are above the law

Seems straightforward to me. There was no number plate on display on the front of the car. Therefore, offence committed - whatever the 'reason'. If I wasn't displaying a plate on the front of my (admittedly, non-orange) Yaris (

) I would expect to be pulled.

It always used to make me laugh when on the news it had something about Mario Balotelli when he was at Man City , it showed his car , but blocked out the number plate

Seriously how many Bentleys are there driving round Manchester ( because he wouldn't drive anywhere else ) covered in ' camouflage ' paint jobs ?

A car with a design like the Lamborghini is going to attract attention whatever colour it is. The choice of bright orange is just way over the top and is in effect demanding mega attention.

A bit like you then ' jean '

Only you don't have the ' cash ' or the profile

If I had the cash or the profile I would not be playing stupid petulant games with the police. In addition I would not be driving a bright orange Lamborghini.

Moreover I would be bankrolling Toulouse and making them a powerful permanent presence in Super League. That would be doing great good for the game.

Got a strange PM the other day from Sir Kevin, pronouncing he was walking away from these forums.....now that was a goon news RL story

it's true, he's been banned for 28 days anyway.

If the camouflage paint job is good, would you see one

Around Manchester yes , if he was driving through a rain forest , probably not
