Not aware that we approached him at any point whilst Rowley was still playing, but maybe the pull of his hometown club will be too strong? |

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |

Fax offered a better deal and don't judge Leigh on this season or last, medium term nothing between many clubs in this league,including Fax and Leigh.A few key signings or alternatively players moving on will make all the differance. |

I wouldn't dream of judging Leigh on one season. As a Fax supporter, I know as well as anybody about the ups and downs of RL.
All I'm saying is that, at the moment, we're on an UP so I can't see what could possibly tempt Penky to leave Halifax other than A.) an offer from a SL club or B.) a substantially better offer from another Championship club (and it would have to be substantial as I couldn't see him going for a couple of grand).
As to the lure of playing for his hometown club, well, we as supporters are devoted to the club through thick and thin but very few players appear to feel the same way.

| The BIG difference this time round is Rowley being the coach, Penky is his mate and i'm sure Rowles can talk him into joining his revolution  |

| Quote: Dick Jones "SOme players dont want to play for the hometown club '"
Your right and the message I have been given from people close to Penky in the past is that he has always been very happy living, working and socialising in Leigh,even going along to watch Leigh .. but to also enjoy playing his rugby 40 miles away from under the microscope that all together they would involve. |

| Quote: The Kevster! "Would hardly be a surprise if Penky returned... we've had numerous threads on this in the past.
I'd imagine it's even more likely he'll return now that Rowls is in charge. I think people will want to play for his Leigh team, esepcially as he's giving the players more licence to express themselves unlike the rigid formations we played under Kelly and Shaw.'"
Returned? |

Is Penky out of contract at Fax at the end of the season?, or are we just trying to tempt him away from them.

Depends how they perform I suppose. I don,t recall the, sadly late Mick Hogan T Bilsbury or the incomparable John Woods getting much stick from the fans. Course we had a lot more fans then. There are also numerous other local born Leythers who also were much appreciated for their performances.

And previously also, record breaking players publically (and harshly) criticised by the coach |
