As the person you replied to I'd read PR's comments and still find it strange, hence why I said if we are to sign a player for cover then why not take a punt on a youngster, with questions being asked about what he's done for the last few years then BJ doesn't appear to be coming over with a guarantee.

As for hiding behind user names, plenty on here know who I am including yourself, I've never wrote anything on here I wouldn't say to anyone's face.

I'm getting fed up of this forum bashing and the references to user names. I've read plenty of comments from people underwhelmed by the signing on other outlets and I'm sure it will be discussed by many on the coach to Doncaster. I haven't read anything nasty or personal on here.

For years people on this forum have clubbed together to sponsor players and have been asked to put their hand in their pocket or take part in sponsored walks etc by the club and many anonymous people have done so without wanting to take any personal credit whatsoever. So I find all the anonymous digs a little unfair.

Let's not forget, had the relative of a certain player not anonymously revealed on here that last spring players had not been paid and the club was in dire straits, nobody would have been aware of the situation that eventful Sunday and things may have taken a very different turn.

Jeffries is the first player to be criticised on a sports forum. In fact I would wager that every board on this website currently has threads criticising at least one player. So long as it isn't nasty or personal that is just a part of the modern game.

It could be worse we could have signed a Brazilian.

I fell asleep reading a dull thread and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.

You should have watched Star Trek.

Some of these Leigh experts need to join the board/coaching staff.
We have 'won the league' barring a miracle, nearly won at Leeds Rhinos, whilst probably also on our way to winning 500K prize money. Yet still folk find things to MOAN about...weird.
WHAT AN AMAZING SEASON.....thank you The Players, Coaching Staff, and Board Of Directors. Never imagined it would have been as good as this.

Well, for what its worth, I find it a 'strange' signing.

Welcome to Leigh though 'and all that' and prove the doubters wrong !!

Isn't the logical thing to do when discussing abilities, skills etc of a sportsman to actually wait until you have let them prove or disprove they are still capable.

It is perfectly fine to be absolutely loving the season yet still comment on matters with an honest opinion.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Apologies, I actually meant professional rugby.

I think what he has played is classed as semi pro over there but I could be wrong. You could say a bit like the Championship here which is what we are in next year. But hey lets not let a few facts get in the way of an informed opinion. Not going to argue about this my opinion is mine and I will bag the board if they need it after they guy has proved or disproved he still has it. From what I can see he is not just coming for his playing abilities.

Although as someone has pointed out if he reads this thread he will sign for someone else.
