| He's e. Poor attitude, poor core skills, no work ethic.
Has a nasty streak in him though, plenty of agression. Should do okay in your league.
Poor lad ending up at Leigh like.

There's a more than decent chance that HKR will be playing in 'our league' next year..........

On your forum Teddy, you call us a 'horrible' club. Please explain, without sounding thick.

| 80% of the current HKR fans don't even know where we are, the other 20% followed them in the bad times and deserve respect - they would all claim to be part of the glorious 1400 though

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| Somebody mentioned Ryan Duffy. Personally despite him giving his all I don't think he's mobile enough to take us forward and I doubt he'll get a full time deal.
He'll go well in our league with someone else next year though I reckon. As for Walker, looks a top signing. I hope whatever went on at HKR is in the past and I'm sure he'll have been made aware of that here. That said there are 2 sides to every story.

Based on what? We've finished outside the 8 once in the last 6 seasons

| I was referring to the 'Middle 8' next season. I can see HKR being in it, along with Leigh.

| He's decent, solid. Should go well in the championship level. Think the main battle may be keeping his head on straight and steering clear of "disciplinary issues"

| Shouldn't be a problem moving over this side of the hill. The lads will get him settled in quick and he will be joining one of the Sunday morning bible classes that all our forwards are members of.

Great signing, looking forward to seeing him play.
No one is full time this year, we'll be full time next year no matter what, the RFL are giving extra money for the teams that finish 1st and 2nd to go full time, so it'll be us and either Featherstone, Halifax or Doncaster (depending on who finishes 2nd) full time next year. Someone else might go full time if they come into a lot of money but it’s not likely.'"
Fax will still be part time if they finish 2nd. With teams apparently crumbling around them its probably the right thing to do.

| This is a good signing for you. I for one was a little sorry to see him going. Definitely aggressive, has an awkward style and tries to offload. Best thing is he has a lot of improvement in him if his twin is anything to go on.

Fully understand what you say, but, if the top four Championship teams are to have any chance of competing with the bottom four SL teams next season, (plus London & Bradford) they must try to do so on as equal a footing as possible.
Of course, they must also do so, without 'breaking the bank'. And therein lies a problem!

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 |

Ultimatley to benifit from the new structure the most requires clubs to build their businesses, primarily their fan bases , failure to do that will result in just dropping back down or financial implosion
Despite what anybody says, you cannot operate as a successful susstainable SL club on 3/4,000 attendances, unless of course somebody has a million quid to burn every year

| It appears we are a long way ahead of all our Championship rivals both on and off the field to take advantage of the situation.
In addition the struggling SL clubs will be likely faced with additional financial challenges that will follow in terms of reduced attendances. There could easy be some financial implosions depending how well they manage to 'downsize' with the better players leaving and perhaps the lower quality ones wanting to see contracts through on SL money.
A well managed fully focussed Leigh Centurions run on professional business lines will never have a better chance re-establish itself for the long term at the top level.
