Completely agree mate, but these are lads that work all week and play for the love of the game, not multi millionaires who train all day all week and can't catch, and the passing is that bad it's funny.

M62 corridor? Even that won't exist, it'll just be in Yorkshire

You are entitled to your opinion mate, but for me if the word Leigh's not in the teams name, you may as well go and watch a team outside of Leigh, that's my opinion anyway.

When iv'e heard people talking about it they all say ,take the lineouts out and that bit wer they all jump on each other and theres very little difference between the two sports.'"
Their club level is the Super 14 which is the best players from New Zealand, Australia and South Africa so understandably it's a very decent level with the cream of the players from those three countries.

| I can imagine the Newton Heath supporters at the time up in arms saying, I'm never going to watch them again if they are called Manchester United it will never work!!
You could rebrand the team to Leigh Dinosaurs because that is what Leigh is facing - extinction. As Leigh or Swinton, neither team will ever get to SDL, they will only become amateur teams being watched by a few hundred supporters. There is a chance now for both teams to gain entry into SDL with a Manchester name. All companies rebrand their company name or products when they are facing difficulties and they get through those difficulties and survive. Any top businessman or top coach would definitely agree with me. You either change and survive or you carry on as you are and become amateur or even extinct. It has to be done now - not in a year or two but now!
Do you really think that Leigh or Swinton will be going into SDL in 2015!!! And what happens after that when you have another 3 years of being in the wilderness and the tumbleweed is blowing through Leigh. There won't be a team or a fan base in Leigh. Like it or not the Manchester concept would work and we would have investors and publicity and we would be in SDL in 2015 if not before.
You lot who disagree really are dinosaurs.

| Fan wise though what would change, we would still be in Leigh with a different name, in my opinion the fan base will be the same, and we still would not get into SL as we are are still to close to Wigan, Saints, Wire, Widnes, and Salford.

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 |

| We could play at Agecroft
