The lure of playing for a new franchise was too much apparantly. That and a 'significant financial offer'. Does make you wonder how a guy who couldn't be up for playing for Wigan is going to be up for doing it for the Leopards. A leopard never changes his spots they always say.

Although they'll be striped black and white according to press release. Sounds more like a white tiger to me.

There will be a (oce)lot expected of Zac. No lion around doing nothing they will expect him to be tigerish in his efforts.

Hardaker is the RL equivalent of Elton John. Soon as he kicked the drugs he went crap.

Leigh could be a complete fiasco, or actually turn into something semi-decent. If they can get Ferguson, Hardaker, Lam and Leutele interested and playing well, they will actually have a decent team. Players like O’Brien, Holmes, Hughes, Mulhearn, Mellor, Charnley and Briscoe have all been about at the top level and won’t be intimidated.

The problem is, it’s a powder (no pun intended, Zak) keg. It could be derailed at any point.

Very good.

We should prise Lam from them. Make him marquee and offer a stupid transfer fee. He's superb.

You have us in Purrgatory, CH.

Have they got someone on a wowcher deal?

(chance to get your own back CH)

Thinking, Thinking “hamster wheel of doom”, thinking…nope i ain’t got nuffink

I think the Leigh rebrand is the cats whiskers, a purrfect way to get publicity, I wonder how the Leigh fans are feline about it though, purrrhaps its just a paw publicity stunt that no one has spotted.

Someone on Twitter suggested Leigh
Leighpards!!!

The lepers.

Bit near the bone…

I did wonder if it was appropriate in 2022. Used to be a banter term pre-2000s, almost expected if you were a visiting Widnes fan. Since leprosy is a thing of the past and not in recent memory I thought it would be safe to post

I apologise if anyone here is currently suffering from leprosy
