Their certainly not happy on TotalRL about this

Not Surprised Kurt Haggerty is one of the most underrated second row forwards outside of SL and was rumoured to be full time on on a big contract at Barrow after stepping down from SL last year so our Board have pulled off a major coup here in getting Paul his man.

Son of former Saints hard case Roy and best years still in front of him and good age with plenty to prove like Matty Sarsfield.

Who else has left beside Bullock and Briscoe ? Mentions players but names just two?

Well Charlie is happy with the deal although I do rate Joe B ,I did say giving Craig Briscoe a 4 year contract was a mistake , we need Quality at Leigh , not Quantity , I know injuries may strike during the Season , but our Squad is big enough I remember young Haggerty at Leigh and always rated him , a good deal by PR .

I spoke to 2 experienced Coaches this week about Leigh , both were at the Salford game and they were very impressed with Leigh and the quality of our Squad , one commented then on the size of our Squad being a bit big , but he did say he thought we will win the League this season .

Just to clarify the terms of the deal as I understand them are as follows:

It's a maximum of three players with the third as yet undisclosed with us able to recall at least one at any given time.

Haggerty is a season long loan and can't be recalled.

Paul and Derek see this as a opportunity for good prospects to go and play at higher level than our U20s and will also help out a coach at Barrow that I know Paul has a lot of respect for. In return we cover the one area Paul felt we needed with a quallity target that we initially missed out on.

Only 25 he fits the bill and has ambition to get back to a higher level, he's big, strong and confident runs wide and can kick both in play and goals.

Hopefully things will be concluded so that he will play tomorrow I know the guys have worked hard on it and hopefully the premature press release at Barrows end and the fact it's been brought to peoples attention on here hasn't scuppered things.

Cheers

Interview with a signed Kurt Haggerty being uploaded as I type to Leigh Centurions TV, the first with all the Leigh Centurions news.

Also later today Paul Rowley speaks pre Wolves game.

To see this interview later today and all Leigh Centurions 2014 campaign join us just £3.50/month or £32/year

Thanks for that clarification Andy I think we could cope with 3 leaving if one can be recalled due to injuries. Should we get injuries & we recall one of them back we are only one squad player down prior to this agreement. In our young prospects a few of them do look like they could make the step up if & when needed I was impressed with the centres on wednesday especially Peat. It's good to see the development of Joe Bullock from winger to centre, back row, loose forward & now prop & I'm sure he'll go well for Barrow. I look forward to watching the exclusive interviews on Centurions TV cheers Fred

On this topic... welcome to Kurt (again), a very useful player and in Joe and Craig heading the opposite way, they will also learn lots from their spell with Barrow.

In the meantime when the interviews are uploaded I hope you will enjoy them. Plenty of content to come over the course of the season and Leigh Centurions TV is the best place to see and hear it from a Leigh perspective.

Have Leigh Centurions announced this signing yet officially?

If it's being reported in Barrow's local rag then it's hardly hard to get hold of the information, is it? Will still wait for official confirmation though before getting too giddy about Haggerty as he's definitely a player I rate highly, and Briscoe and Bullock would benefit greatly from first team rugby.

I think it might be a back
