At Abram's first home match in charge I was in the Hilton Park Lounge corporate having a meal. I asked Abram if he would be going over to the Mick Martyn Bar and giving a few words to the fans in the form of a MOM presentation, similar to which his predecessors in Milward and Terzis had done previously.

He replied ' I wont be doing any MOM presentations and... I give my views to the radio.'

Hardly a surprise a he would not embrace the idea of a community club either.

That's why he's been out of the game for 10 years. Least said about the fella the better.

To say current management vs him is like chalk and cheese would be the understatement of the year!!

It is True , Dazzler DID try to ban me , he even told 2 security men to eject me from the Ground after a Match , but I had done nothing wrong , I had witnesses to say so , needless to say , I wasn't ejected or Banned from the Club , as id done nowt wrong , just disagreed with Dazzler , I later told him "When he was Long Gone , I would still be a Leigh Fan , and hes GONE , and im still a Leigh fan .Charlie knew . .

Nah, as others have said full time players have plenty of time on their hands. Now don't get me wrong they need that time to recuperate and to be fit for match day but attending community events doesn't affect match fitness or focus in the slightest. In fact I'd say it can improve match focus, you realise and understand more who you are playing for.

Community engagement is vital for RL clubs and, despite being better at it and more open than some other sports I think all RL clubs can still do far more.
