The Lockyer stuff wouldn't have made the press unless was a seriously considered offer. He's been linked with plenty of sides before but this is the first time he has come out and actually named a club when he confirmed retirement again. FFS he's a legend of the game should be commended forbgoing for it full tilt. As wire found out with Johns you don't try you don't get.

Haha, maybe , probably wouldn't surprise me if he made his what 5th coming

I don't deny Hill would / will. Mine was a direct reply to previous comment in reality we may never know but can you really say a Championship player is at the same level as a constant NRL performer?

Does anyone remember Heremia??? He has to be one of the worst half backs who have played for us in the last 10 years!! He cant kick, find a killer pass, no pace??? Good luck Widnes if you do sign him!! What a joke if he plays in SL, he's not fit for Championship 1 in my opinion!!!!!

Wasn't Heremaia the one who got his head taken off at widnes when we were all chanting "He's gonna kill Mark Smith!"

Nope just the NRL not our fault if you played him out of posistion

He did Frank, and came to Leigh on the European passport, much to the annoyance of the RFL, who had told Leigh he would have to be their 'quota' player and 'Jules' would have to go.

He brought forward his marriage - bringing a completely new meaning to the old phrase 'he had to get married'! (not that that kind of thing would ever have happened in the 'posh' part of Salford )

If true, I reckon he would be an excellent signing for Widnes, as he's come on a lot since he was a Leyther.

Like I said,I would sooner have home grown players,guess what? let them play because they are better than the bloody journey men

Based on his Leigh performances? Riddy is better. Heremaia has clearly progressed hugely though since he left us.

Heremia cannot sign for another english club. Halifax still hold his registration after he walked out on us. Widnes will have to agree a deal with us to enter negotiations.

That will only last as long as his contract at Halifax would have and be well gone by now surely? Arent they full RL registrations though? I remember Carney & Darren Albert both mentioning so when they returned from NRL?

It's a separate registration if memory serves me right.

I just recall Carney (Titans) and Albert (Cronulla) both saying NRL sides could keep hold of registrations to prove not just returning to re-join a SL club.

With the way that you guys and your admin department handle paperwork?? Not a problem.
The name of the player you registered was probably Enron HereIama.

Fax just put down 'Missionary', not fully understanding the question.

Everyone mentioning about youngsters from Leigh. Well I've been harbouring a thought all season. Our good form is because of all the coaching of course. But lets not forget, this season. I'd say a least 75% of our players come from Leigh. I think this has made a hell of a difference, the players live local and know what the public wants. This is why I think we've battered Widnes and have the run going. The public know we wanted good rugby. Just wonder how much better it must be for the lads to go into the local for a quiet one knowing they're playing well making the public of Leigh happy. Beating Widnes meant so much more to the Leigh lads than it would have done to a few Batley players if we had signed Yorkshiremen. I just wonder how much the locality of the team has impacted this season.
