| Quote: The Watcher "The Watcher believes that the statement from Leigh was a very honest summary of what the club has been through. LRLFC obviously thought they had their man but had not foreseen the actions of Fishwick, who it would appear has done the dirty on the LSV outfit & touted the player in question to other clubs.
The Watcher now surmises that the latest club (Salford) has offered what Fishwick thinks is a better deal & Fishwick has then informed The Centurions expecting them to match the SL clubs offer. At this point Leigh quite correctly pulled out of the talks. If this has occurred then The Watcher advises Hopkins to dump Fishwick & with his father get in touch with Mr Millward ASAP.'"
sounds like the best course of action to me |

Embarrasing all round I reckon.
Easts could have dealt with this better
The statement from the club is a disgrace for a professional club, whoever wrote that and sanctioned it needs to have a very close look at themselves.
Funny feeling all in all that at the end of the day he may well end up at Leigh, but either way hopefully lessons have been learned.

The main lesson being ....Do not deal with Fishwick,he is untrustworthy ....from a Leigh RLFC point of view. |

| The lad has a right to get the best deal for himself and so do Leigh and so do Salford and for that matter so do Leigh East.
No need for Mr. C to put information re potential signing on here in the first place. It's nice to be in-the-know but some things should be private.
No need for Leigh to issue such a petty statement. Not the first time. It is becoming embarrassing.
Too many egos playing the big I am all the way through this episode.
These things are best done behind closed doors and if statements need to be issued then after all the events have taken place and in a professional manner.
Embarrassing all round really.

| Quote: Starbug "Quote: Starbug "Washing dirty laundry in public in a vat of sour grapes.
Petulant, amateurish, childish, knee-jerk statement.
A perfect example of why the RFL hates Leigh and why the amateur clubs can never and should never be expected to work with the pro club.
Got Rowley with a capital R written all over it. As if his clan hasn't done enough damage.[/quote]
Yet another of your ' made up ' assumptions , if you dont Know , dont post'" '"
True - but a presumption not an assumption. Call it an educated guess
Also, I'm far from the first person to post without KNOWLEDGE on this particular topic so forgive me for taking no notice of your request for self-censorship. If nobody else bothers with known fact, why should I?
What I do KNOW is that this statement does nobody any good.
Pathetic debacle, all in all.
To quote Stuart Maconie, "How very Leigh". |

| Quote: Starbug "Never let the truth get in the way of a good ' dig ' eh
There are only probably 2/3 people who actually know the truth in all this , but lets all have a pop just for the sake of it
one thinks an apology to Mr Rowley is called for, but then again that takes somebody with courage.

| Quote: Starbug "So you admit you know nothing , but it was still you that brought up somebody's name to blame , so not an educated guess , more of an UNEDUCATED guess
To quote me , " How very Waterfield's finest "'"
Guilty as charged m'lud. I don't know nor want to know the poisoned dwarf but have seen similar outbursts with a certain name attached in the past hence it being an educated guess.
I have been educated that this is the sort of thing AR does, so am guessing it's him again. To be honest, I hope it is, because if there are two such loose cannons in the club then God help us and, chancing my arm at pure speculation, I'd wager that Robbie Paul won't be with us for very long.
This is tittle tattle message board gossip. Not very significant. Unlike dragging people's names through mud on an OFFICIAL release. |
