Isn't Barlow a Leigh player?

First of all it is Salford

Secondly unless he has assaulted someone connected to the club how is it anything but a personal issue. I suppose it could be connected to the club if he loses his employment as a result of the court case.

So no irony at all

So when Tim Smith got drunk and parked his car in someone's front garden it wasn't anything to do with Wakefield?

Or when Ryan Bailey and Chev Walker got into a fight outside the Majestic Nightclub in Leeds it was none of the Rhinos business?

But back to Barlow, given that he's one of their better players, I was just posing a question as to how big an impact on Leigh's season it would have if he's absent for some or all of 2016

[sizeIF[/size he is found guilty then it will be a Leigh issue (not a major one just the club will have to consider if it needs to get involved to take any action against him ourselves) until then it's nothing. Barlow is an excellent player, his offloads are superb I've never seen anyone offload like him. However he is currently out with a long term back injury so we're not expecting him to play for a while which will mitigate any impact losing him will have.

Definitely ridiculous that the Championship clubs are allowed to spend exactly the same as the SL clubs. After all its not as if they play one another in a mini league for a quarter of their season to determine promotion/relegation is it now.....

If a SL team got relegated, they would have more to,worry about on that score I reckon,

Leigh could lose a few players and should still walk that league

I certainly wouldn't be discounting Bradford - especially before the season has even started!

Me either. looking at both teams expected starting line ups for this weekend and Bulls have an awful lot of SL experienced players in there.

They had a lot of SL experience last season and when they came to our place in the middle 8s they were terrible it was like a training game for us and we played with no half backs

Do you really think that a fair way to dress it up?

Didnt wigan thump you in the league & the week after you went & beat them

If i remember correctly Bradford never looked like winning the play off game vs wakey but they could have done cos they were in it right to the end

I agree, but that was not the point in question. The competition is most likely with Leigh and Halifax, not Hull KR.

What a boring/pointless thread this is...

Have you seen some of the threads recently?

Shirt designs, Predictions, Wayne Bennett, thank god the season is upon us.

At one time I’d skip to the Sin Bin, but that’s another story.
