You just don't seem to do irony (or indeed humour) do you?

That will be terribly inconvenient for away fans, most of whom won't bother to show up at Leigh Sports Vilage, no matter how many pies and pasties they have on offer at the food outlets. This is a working class game, and the working class likes to travel by train, not by car!'"
Presumably the fact that there are in excess of 33,000,000 vehicles currently travelling Britains role has escaped your attention, some are even owned and driven, by working class people too!
C'mon you can do better than that, what a silly and purile statement to make.

OOOOh you are a bit tetchy. Sorry if you took it poorly, but sarcasm was unintended, criticism being more appropriate.
I thought that you were implying that he will be coming to a game far more robust than he will have witnessed ever before, the tone of your post struck ME that way. In what you seem to have taken umbridge at was not in any manner intended to be sarcasm, I simply thought that you were having a dig and, actually, being flippant.

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Not "tetchy", just bored of people who skim (rather than actually read) posts, get the wrong end of the stick, then reply to something that was not there.
I simply said "if he does not come fully fit he might get a shock". Fairly honest statement and easy to understand.
I wasn't even suggesting he would do that but I could point to many NRL "names" who have come here either unfit, uninterested or both and found life hard.
The whole thrust of my post was to show how good he could be for your club if he wants to, I even used the example of Joe Grima for us.
If you think that's me being flippant or having a dig then you must live in a strange world
Just to emphasise it AGAIN and in case you miss it, I HOPE HE DOES WELL.

Yes, it's obviously much better to watch SL clubs squander money they don't have and go millions into debt reliant on a sugar daddy to constantly bail them out

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "But having Leigh in Super League won't make Super League more interesting and won't help the RFL improve its feeble and deficient revenue stream any time soon. In fact it will more likely hinder the situation. London, Bradford and Toulouse need to be in Super League, not pathetically obscure Leigh, if rugby league is to improve its standing with sponsors, the media, and the general public in both England and France.'"
Complete tripe.......
A succesful London, Bradford and Toulouse would make SL attractive, not the nomadic and bankrupt London and Bradford of the last 5 years adding no value to a stale and some what dying division.
The notion of big city teams needing to be in the top divisions of any sport are just nonsense...... other wise.... in the premier league surely ::::::: Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Carlisle, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham must all be in and kick out those little suburban clubs list C Palace, Bolton, Wigan, Barnsley, Blackburn, Middlesbrough to name just a few....
Just maybe if the RFL had a clear marketing strategy then just maybe irrelevant of who the teams and locations are in the best division in the northern hemisphere we might just get blue chip sponsors and not sign TV deals going in to the next decade.
Not to mention if numpty fans didnt put the game down at every opportunity we might just grow....
enjoy your RL where ever and who ever you support. Try a visit to the suburb of Wigan in 2016.... ill personally show you round the areas!!!

Would that be the same franchise period that witnesses more top flight clubs go into administration than ever before?

| Bizzare Topic.
even at 35 he's a top draw NRL ' Name '
And I guess most of the response is more engineered to taunt the Lobby's than a meaningful discussion over the guys merits.
I suspect a fair few SL sides would have been more than happy to acquire his signature for a season.
I bought RLWC tickets for Tonga at the LSV solely to see him in action and will probably do the same next season.
He's also not the first Moimoi to turn out for Leigh who have a long standing link with Tonga heritage players.
I suspect no matter how he plays next season he'll be a marketing dream for them.

It's so refreshing when you stumble upon an informed and intelligent post like this...

| It makes you wonder what Leigh are hoping to achieve out of the signing. Are they hoping he will lead them to the top of the league and possible promotion (Do 20 min props have that sort of influence), bring in larger crowds, improve community engagement .......etc
I hope it all works out for them.
