and pray tell which part of it is 'rubbish' or does the truth hurt some?

Bibey has played for us twice and moved to SL clubs - both truths if I can recall

Donlan and Higham both left by the 'back door' in that both agreed contracts and left when the coach was back in Oz, Donlans was sorted out out but Highams!! now come on what a cock up Halifax then StHelens oh yes all done the 'correct way' - my ar$e.

so whats your point dick head they all have bettered there selfs to give them and there familys a better life with more money and to win things because they are good enough ,would you stay in a job if the same job was going to pay you 4 times more ,dont matter which way it was done and you are also wrong on that 2 my friend

So you’re not going next season if we sign, old Leythers who are ‘past it’ or young up and coming Leythers, if they didn’t play for Miners or perhaps East.

I don’t know the facts as to why Moore went to Blackbrook, I’ve never ask him, have you? The rumour I heard was it was at the request of Saints.

Its no good arguing the point with a moron who can only retort to calling people names, I wasnt arguing that they went only the way if you cant see that your the 'dick head' and your cerftainly NOT a friend

I don't see a problem with it. Donlan and Bibey have played for Leigh before and went on to obviously better themselves, Bibey playing in two challenge cup finals and Donlan one. Both still have lots to offer to the club playing wise but also helping the progress of our younger players, I have no doubt Donlan will help Morty's game improve as the months go by.

Neither of those two are at the end of their careers I would say, or coming for the money.

Hartley, although never played for Leigh is still pretty young, burst onto the scene at Salford and things went abit stale for the lad he is trying to rebuild his career. He has moved to Leigh for next season and I feel his move is one of a genuine nature. He is coaching a junior side at Leigh Miners Rangers so no doubt this move will possibly enable him more time with those lads too, which surely can't be a bad thing.

If we ever signed Littler, I know that would get peoples backs up as he has ripped us apart for many years and he and us fans havn't had the best relationship, but the lad is a quaility player and would certainly be an asset to our side if we signed him within the next 2 years I reckon. To talk of stopping coming to Leigh games just because you don't agree with a signing is very sad.

As someone said, it shouldn't matter where they have been before, where they come from if they ever pull on a Leigh shirt we should be there to support them and hope they put 100% in for us and do a good job. Just look at Nanyn i'd never thought i'd enjoy seeing him in a Leigh shirt but whoever they are, weather they played for Wigan, Saints, Widnes in the past if they come to Leigh to play for our club I will support them and wish them well. If they are Leythers then it's even better, I would love to see nothing more than a team full of Leythers picking up honours.

As the old saying goes

Players, coaches and officials come and go the only people who dont lose their 'way' are the true fan.

No matter who pulls on the shirt they should be SUPPORTED thats what supporters do.

Hear. Hear.

Well I don,t blame our local born players for the reason you stated in your first post.

Maybe it,s the folk who where born in Leigh but prefer watching better funded teams in RL,, or those who would rather spend their admission money on beer ,or those who used to go but don,t now cos no-one .from the club watched them when they were bad.Maybe it,s former fans who now prefer roller skating

John Woods stayed at Leigh for the best part of his career so did Micky Martyn and others. Course Sky wasn,t involved then.

Are we able to change it ? Well as fans we can go win or lose, we can buy season tickets we can buy lottery tickets and we can join LISA we can encourage folk to go we can enjoy ouselves at the match we can develop camerarderie amongst those who do go.

Easy isn,t it. Am I looking forward to Championship 1 what do you think ?Will I carry on supporting what do you think ? Let all exiles return home lol who cares if they get us out of Championship 1 I don,t give a toss.

Well said Fred

You dont have to like somebody to appreciate them

Personally I cannot stand Goofy , total tosspot if you ask me

If he is scoring try's for Leigh I will applaud him

i once went up to him in cafe stella after a few beers for a natter with him, in a way, i wanted to see if i hated the player, or the man himself.......

on talking to him, i have to say, he came across as a top bloke

it well burst my bubble!

I'm surprised the name Sean Penkywicz hasn't appeared in this thread yet?

And when will Rob Parker be linked with Leigh?

Leigh fans rip the p!ss out of Goofy constantly for 80 mins.

Goofy scores in the match (as he inevitably does against Leigh) and so he then give's a little back to the crowd.

'I don't like Goofy' the Leythers cry, 'He take's the p!ss out of us'

Personally I call that fair game
