So despite previous assurances we are now in a formal Partnership with Wigan with regards to players.

Will these players be dual-registered? According to the RFL don’t you have to have a ‘Twinning Partnership’ to have players on dual register?

Whilst we are developing their next Sam Tomkins, where does our next Sam Hopkins further his development?

What’s the latest with regards to the Community partnership? Has that gone ahead?

Whilst I await the answers instead of being at LSV tonight, I’ll take my wife to the pub and watch it there. They don’t need my support they can simply just borrow from next door.

Oh and one other thing Frank if I was you I’d give over saying ‘Leigh Independent Centurions’.

So fans are deserting already....nice one.....

I'm worried and I'm going to need to carefully consider whether I'm up for this any more.

Why not wait and see how this actually affects the first team for future games. I am not jumping just yet. I have walked a step nearer the edge though. If it turns out to be an official twinning then bye bye. Another problem solved for the rfl.

The coffin must have a large lid to accommodate all the nails being hammered into it. Is there anyone actually in charge of the club?

Who has now decided to walk on the back of the announced 'partnership' other than Glow....I haven't unless it turns out to be an arrangement recognised by the rfl as twinning. Easy way to tell, if any player comes as DC then we are twinned. Remember that non twinned clubs can only have 'loan' players. Twinned clubs can have DC players.

I am now giving it serious thought Derek.

exactly,any dc players from the pies and i walk away from the club i love.We need our individual identity.

If we take the odd loan player here and there when needed like Tom Spencer then i dont see whats changing that we was allready told in October www.leighreporter.co.uk/sport/ce ... -1-5034382 Until anything changes then i will carry on as normal i cant see us partnering up like Batley,Hunslet and the others because if we do they know it will be the end cause theres not a leigh supporter alive that will support it

Thing is though if nothings changing why the new article?

That's what i was saying glyn. However i have a season ticket so they already have my money. Probably see the season out.

As long as no Wigan players take the places of Leigh players apart from through injury or suspension there should be no problem. Hopefully retain the services of Spencer but to be honest, unless there are masses of injuries then why would Leigh need any Wigan players? Ward, O'Donnell (who is Leigh's isn't he?), Rowe, Nicholson etc are players who can step up right away, whilst Higson will be like a new signing when fit.

Leigh should focus on developing and keeping together the current U20s and look at recruiting from local clubs for the future. There's a structure in place now, with Duffy and Anderson lets go from there. The local clubs as always are doing the town well at all ages. I think GLOW said it, look towards developing the next Chris Hill and Sam Hopkins rather than aiding Wigan's development.

Can some one tell me what has happened to Paul Rowley telling the fans forum we will not be going into partnership with Wigan
This is a partnership with Wigan try to dress it up as much as you like but it’s still a partnership
No Different than any other championship club
I just hope the club realise what damage this will do to the club if anyone thinks this will increase the crowds their living in a dream just watch them go down
Why do we need Wigan? We don’t Wigan need us lets remember for every Wigan player we take it means a loss off a place to one of our own local lads that is in the first team under 20s or under 18s
I say scrap this idea go as was originally stated loan players only from any team
In my opinion this is not just about rugby this is about 2 teams in the Wigan Borough and people at our club wanting to further their own status
Just let’s say we develop a good player in our 15/16 or18/20 will the player stay at Leigh No that’s why it’s better for Wigan
So P.R lets cut the C*** and do as you stated along with the CEO and the board of directors No Parnership with Wigan

It just needs clarifiction on this from the club, Ive read it to mean we are doing what we did last year and wont be using first teamers just young players like we did Warrington the year before, were I thought it worked in both clubs best interests.

If we twin with Wigan this is another matter, which will be the final nail, to my CLUB, please please dont go down that route.
