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 |

I don't agree with comparing RL with other sports, but if you must do so try harder.'"
If you are going to compare a club in England being bought out by a club in Italy, then fine , I dont think we would lose any supporters to Brisbane Broncos, bring it on, if they want to loan us a few players, no problem
So not really like for like, is it jonny?

| No it isn't, and Leigh's arrangement with Wigan isn't the same as the DR system other clubs are using either is it?

| The only wigoon related player who played today for Leigh was O'Donnel who is on a season long loan. How are we like swinton/hunslet who are abusing the DR system? Our partnership is not the same.

John o Donnell is not linked to Wigan in any way, he left Wigan went to London then ended up with us and has signed a 1 year deal as a Leigh centurions player, all 17 players were contracted Leigh players today

Leigh and Wigan have stated that the only D/C's moving to Leigh will be under 23 on 31 August 2012. Other clubs are not applying that age restriction. There's one EXACT difference for starters.

As you said LG , NO D-Rs today , and we won , maybe not the best of rugby , but still a win , even the mighty Fev lost today , so happy days , the boys will prove to us they are a good team , as you said "COME ON LEEEIGH".

A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult”: |

Because its a long season and Paul has a small squad.
For the last few years we have had a few dc's making the numbers up. If we want to do that the RFL say we need to sign up with someone.

| And any DC players will be below a certain age so no Sam Tomkins.
No different to what we did last season.
Don't know what the fuss is about.

| I think the fuss is how it got out in the first place and the message it portrayed.
Now it's all there in black and white I really don't see what the problem is. It's not great but its better than shoving a 17 year old in the first team squad when he's not ready and were short on numbers.

| I think the last 2 posts answer your questions very well Jeff , hopefully you are now satisfied,lets let the matter drop now , and concentrate on Supporting the lads throughout the rest of the Season , no more talks of boycotts or demonstrations , just positive thoughts .
I realise not everyone will want this , but they are a very small minority , thankfully .

| A few seasons ago when the friendlies werre announced it was said then that a few wigan youngsters would be made available to us and Chris Wroe went the other way. Not one eyelid was batted and people were very happy. Can someone please tell me what has changed?
