Yes he did Alan and didn't last long playing there either, which says volumes.

I can't understand why he hasn't signed yet? I'm guessing it's something to do with his day job. He must not want to quit it as it might pay more.

Varks has not been offered a contract for next season , nothing to do with his day job, he is a Personal Trainer at Total Fitness in Wigan .
As a friend of Varks i suppose im biased, but hes a good season for the Mutants , is very fit , is no slouch for speed , scores tries , could easily do a good job for us , for me id sign him for next season , along with another guy who trains at the Gym , Bob Beswick , this guy can take over from Robbie he is only 26 years old , these two lads would make a good addition to our squad ,i also agree about Tyrer .

Depends how much (little!) they would want and how much IM rates them. Beswick has had a couple of good games against us.

Beswick is highly rated by IM but can we afford any players? I think they will be all on play and pay only next year.

We will have a great squad next year as we build towards SL, would like to see Nicho getting RP spot though but sign RV.

Fred i dont know what Varks is on each season , its not my business, but if we can only afford to pay play and pay next season , then i feel we wont be able to build on this seasons results , as we may lose some of our current Squad , not counting the ones who have already stated they are leaving.

And if we cannot afford to pay contracts , then God help the other clubs, to bring in more Supporters i feel Basil must be given the tools to do the job , most fans who come on this board are already the Converted , who would support Leigh whatever , but we try to reach the fringe supporters to come along , and to do this we must show we as a Club want to be successful ,and attract decent players .

nice sentiment Ian and I would love to agree but where is the money going to come from, the present board of directors have made it plain they will not put any more money in and as we have limited income streams then???

This board wont be here next season.

Things need to start to happen and quick or we will lose all the players we wish to retain and the head coach

Wont happen for 6-8 weeks but we will be a better club for it.

that takes us past the signing deadline will the players and coach wait that long?
