So you have his name on a contract, but your coach is saying you might have been led up the 'garden path'

embarrassing

I was just saying that it all sounds like a bit of a shambles, i know my post didnt use that quote correctly but it seems N. Kelly doesnt sound 100% confident that he will arrive.

Just seems really really amateurish behaviour which i wouldnt expect from Leigh RLFC.

Well you used the quote from the final paragraph, move up one.

Are you defending this shambolic behaviour? do you think this is a good example of how a rugby league team should carry out recruitment?

what a shame that we couldnt have signed an aspiring young english player from say a SL academy. I hope Mr Williams is a good signing if it goes through (id expect his visa to take a considerable amount of time).

Have n`t you got something better to do?????????

Im not trying to wind people up, I like Leigh as a club and have enjoyed some great battles with you over the past years.

I just always thought Leigh were one of the most professionally run clubs in the division but this just seems a bit strange to be honest.

I hope it all turns out good though and you get your man.

Good luck tomorrow

A troll? bit pathetic, no?

Maybe i was wrong with my thoughts about your club, your obviously in a better position to comment than me.

Hope you get it all sorted!

all the best.

Well done to Leigh : in getting their side of the story out quickly and not leaving the fans to make up their own version. Which side is correct remains to be seen (and I suspect it will be Leigh). If Joe has signed a contract his comments to the press were very naive.

It really is a shame that when we get some good news and some publicity then it always seems to backfire.Its almost as if we are cursed!!!

My opinion from our recent results at leigh and the general lull is that we need to replace old for new at the club and i aint talking about the coach.It is the same in any business, when you reach a plateau sometimes it works to make a change as new ideas and enthusiasm can make the difference.this is my opinion only of course.

Cant afford it?

Drop down to champ 1 and watch the crowds drop thus bankrupt!!

False economy to not predict the future and make the changes now IMO.

If a bloke signs a contract, its not unreasonable to expect the same will go ahead and to announce it to the world. You wouldnt think, 'oh hang on, he might deny it next week'.

Perhaps we should have waited another month and let folk carry on moaning about Timbucktoo signing all and sundry whilst we're sat doing nowt, and then wait until he's converted his first penalty to announce who he actually is.

Yes we could be critical of previous incidents but be honest with yourselves here, what would you have done if you had a piece of paper with a blokes signiture on it confirming he'd be playing for your club?
