I'd be knocking Swintons door down if i'd still not been payed for september.

To be honest would you continue to work for a employer who as shafted you with your money,who then turns round and says can you stay for less oh and what we owe you we will only part a percentage of it to you.....nope me neither

This rag tag board need to get real

You mean Arthur ?

arthur tom dick harry whoever,someone as not been paid by someone and people get amazed players are off to new clubs.

I know the tories are incharge but were not back to victorian times yet are we

Yes , but who exactly are you suggesting has done ' wrong ' here ?

No idea,all I know is players sign contracts[same as any employee leigh[employer don't paid them what they are owed


Any other employment and people walk out after sueing for breach of contract

Same rules apply in rugby as the real world

No problem , let the players sue

Except who will they sue ?

Will it result in them getting their money ?

So stop ignoring the question , who's fault is it ?

FOOKED if I know

is that clear enough!!!!!!!!!!


Can't blame the players for leaving

Has anyone officially left that we didn't already know about? At least Fax have finished (bar one) their recruitment with KH saying they are almost up to the salary cap already.

So you are complaining about stuff you haven't a clue about

If the players sue the club , the club folds , we start next season with a massive points deduction or possibly even relegation right now , they still wouldn't get their money

Arthur gave out the contracts , his business took a massive hit financially by a company going bust on him , he has had to shut his companies with many people losing their jobs , these being their only jobs and their only forms of income

It hasn't been done on purpose , it is nobodies fault , the players either understand this or they don't , if they don't then they are thicker than I thought , it's tough , end of , they either decide to look elsewhere or they don't , it's a free world , nobody is holding a gun to their heads

See Swinton have signed Gorski & Meekin, and have 15 other players for next season. www.cbsport.org/2011/10/watson-g ... r-swinton/

Complaining? just pointing out how can people expect players to stay if they have been shafted by leigh for not paying there wages.

And how on earth do they convince new players to sign contracts which the club could not honour last time

People keep saying how can swinton sign players on less fans than us,well thats the million dollar question which for some unknown reason Leigh cannot attract people to invest in the club,I'm not having it whoever is in charge of swinton and to be honest can't be d to find out who it is,can afford to fund them and finds funding a team like swinton the better option than funding leigh??? will get a better return from swinton than leigh,can actually do something with a club playing miles from there natural home?

Perhaps its a back door approach to finally take over at leigh on the cheap.

Leigh implode mid season swinton bloke says oooh we may as well call ourselves leigh hedgehogs[or some other daft name hey presdo he or she folds swinton and they are the leigh brand now.

All testicles I suppose but gateshead became hull and stranger things do and will happen in this wonderful world of rl
