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.

Spot on. I only wish he'd signed for London  |

Tonight Leigh have had decent slots on both Granada and BBC sports news adding to huge national print exposure yesterday, not bad and priceless for the brand

Whilst the bring back franchising comment was tongue in cheek, I am concerned how some of the clubs will afford the new £1m salary cap.
There does seem to be a renewed level of interest in the championship however, and I hope this results in increased crowd figures to cover the increase in outlay from many of the clubs. I'm not sure sales of Moi Moi wigs alone will be enough.

Average crowds in SL will rise in 2015 and average crowds in Championship will rise in 2015. First one due to London dropping down, second due to Bradford going with them.....888 is a WinWinWin all around  |

I'd agree, however it is how attendances stand up in the next 5/10 years is the important factor
If as some have predicted nobody moves up or down then they most likely will fall, if however we see real competition, then they might rise, only one way to find out

5/10 years? With the same structure? Are you new to this game of RL?

Excellent signing for the lobby gobblers. Will definitely pay a visit when us pie eaters are away on the dark side of the Pennines.

You will be better off spending your money to see the two dazzling talents joining Super League -- Todd Carney (Catalans) and Albert Kelly (Hull KR) -- rather than an ageing prop forward playing 30 minutes a game in the second division.
You would even be better off taking a trip to see Gateshead's bevy of Papua-New Guinea stars, especially PNG's equivalent of Billy Boston -- the muscular flying winger Garry Lo. |
