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 |

| Surely as we have a sizeable number of DR players available it would be better to ' pocket ' any cash windfall and use the money to help secure the clubs future and reduce the shortfall required from the new investement ?
Or has our recent cash crisis been forgetten already , now that somebody has offered to dip into their pockets

If we are in a ' partnership ' , I'd screw it for all I could , there is no point pretending it is something it isn't , we are in it to save money , so lets save some money , allowing us to get out of it as soon as possible
It seems so obvious to me

And obvious to me to Steve , but im still a Leyther , and like watching Leigh players , I only think DR s should play when we have no alternative , that will surprise some , I think we will have 2 DRs on duty on Sunday , but you never know Wigan have no game this week-end and some good young Half-backs , the Dogs are Barking .

| Hopefully whatever the outcome if he goes or not we are already looking at potential replacements so we don't stand still.
Would hope if he goes we spend the money on a long term replacement and not look after Wigans future whilst ignoring ours.

I think if we lose such a quality player it would show in our performances.
However if we continued to replace every injured or sold player with a DR we would eventually start to hit problems in that we become more dependant on Wigan to field a competitive side.
I don't think we are remotely at that point yet but left unchecked it could happen and I feel that would be very damaging for the credibility of the club long term.

As I said earlier, if you are in a partnership, then ' milk ' it for all it is worth, especially if by doing that it allows you to make a better judged decision on entering a partnership in the future

But it has been like for ages in the league we are in. No doubt you will remember when you were on the Board we never bought anyone.
The thing that has changed is the Dual Contract player thing which like most you are against but has served Leigh well in the league we are in.
Course if people stopped spitting their dummies out and actually watched our team instead of still retaining an interest in the clubs fortunes and' criticising but not contributing' then the club might be able to offer contracts to more players
then we might not need DC players.
