i believe that young darren jackson from leigh miners has been lost to widnes! this is a killer blow to the centurions as he is a cracking hooker in the cunningham mode!!! it is understood that Leigh couldnt give him a decent enough wage!!!! maybe its time we made a swoop for young keiron dainty

darren's been playing for miners since he was seven, his dream has always been to play for is beloved leigh centurions, but that seems to be slipping away with leigh showing no interest in this very talented young individual.

If Widnes offered more then they obviously have more money than we do, is that Leighs fault?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

But Widnes offered MORE MONEY than Leigh
So Leigh did show an interest , but not enough to change the dream of a lifetime 
All about values I suppose |

I guess the reality is we can't sign everybody for the money they all want.
Some you win, some you lose - but it sounds like all parties have got what they want out of this...so good luck to all concerned.

| Maybe we took into account the last two 'young' players (not counting Riddy and AJ as both were from the open age team) we signed from miners who gave back word? Once bitten twice shy perhaps (or twice bitten in this case) 
If he's only after the money good luck to him. |

Leigh might have offered him 5p, we don't know the facts.

Let's be honest though, when we did have youth development we just shipped them all off to other clubs anyway! |

Am i right in saying that Leigh did display interest in this young man, but however they could not match the payment Widnes where offering?
If this is the case then it all boils down to loyalty, if it's your dream to play for Leigh and you are offered terms, regardless of payment, then take it.
Once again the allure of the pay packet i would say. |
