I'll take your word for it. I'm not around for rugby league during the summer as it's my off-season. I prefer proper summer sports instead.


Nope.

My preferred tipple is a bottle of Penfolds Grange

Well I have to concede that fielding two props next season who are closer to 40 years of age than 30 is hardly ideal, but at least the Whinos did purchase both when they were a lot younger and in their prime.

Fuifui OTOH is closer to 40 years of age than he is 30, yet you lot have signed him at that age!

Good luck after the split next season.

You're gonna need it

This signing should enable Leigh to get crowds of 2,000 plus to their home games, and in this way be able to pay the club's electricity bills.

hopefully it will get them closer to the 3k+ mark which would be good concidering they havent had 10s of milloins to use that other clubs have had to artificially grow ther attendances over the last 5 or 6 yrs

It is a great victory for Nigel Wood's plan to make the Super League more insular than ever: it will help a suburb of Wigan's chances of joining the M-62 + 1 competition in 2016.

Most people who are posting on forums or tweeting think this is a good news signing.I'll take that.

It would be good news had he signed for a club whose success can help rugby league's national or international profile -- like London, Toulouse, or even Sheffield. But he has signed for a very parochial, nationally insignificant, suburb of Wigan, whose advancement will only confirm the media and popular view that rugby league is a boutique northern English pastime that doesn't matter to the vast majority of people anywhere.

Great signing if it was 2007.

Seriously i don't get the hype, he played very little last year, he won't even be the best forward in the Leigh squad.

London and Sheffield have an opprtunity to put Leigh in their place this season,we'll see what happens soon wont we.
Toulouse would be great in sl,unfortunately they're still full of bull and only you keep beliveing it

Yep the colour is still green.

No green here, rumours months back that we were linked with him, i hoped they weren't true.
He's a former big name that is washed up.

Not one NRL club would be so excited over this, few SL clubs would be either.

I like Leigh, I'm not going to bag the club, just this isn't the mega signing it looks on paper.

All about perspective, a storm in a teacup? ,possibly, but a lot of fun for us and spilling into the Championship, most probably just the 1 season and an opportunity for Leigh to push on and build up our fan base in pursuit of a SL spot

Plus we'll sell a shed load of wigs

Didnt realise he was 35! obviously way past his best

still its a coup for Leigh in the championship and they should be applauded for that
