Well I do.. His dad is very good friends with mine hah!

Yeah we know Alf.

Congrats.
You find yourself in a privileged situation then.

Nah wasn't trying to be billy bigballs with it tbh. Just knowing what I've been told Riddy was treated like by the club (Jukes in particular).

He had his faults (turned up to training overweight etc.) but he was the one player who could move us around the field, could kick, could take on the line and make half breaks.. Something our current 6 and 7 simply don't do.

I havent seen Matauita play a lot but what i have seen he would go well in a top 8 SL club.

50k is not a lot for him and im sure the club could command more or has this become a fire sale ?

It isn't that straightforward. Anyone on a two year deal is quite within their right to ask for severance pay if Leigh want rid. No contracted player is going to walk away without another club to go to.
Leigh need to lower their wage bill asap and the quickest way to do so is to sell the players that are in demand. It sounds like Derek is asking for transfer fees but ultimately he will just need the players to be off Leigh's payroll by the end of the week.

A few clubs are interested in Mata'utia but there’s no way you will get £50k for him, clubs know you need to reduce your wage bill, that’s not a strong negotiating position to be in.

Think we would get a fee if he moves before the deadline this week.

Mata'utia to Wire,Goodwin to Leigh for 2019 season.

And if you hold too long your left with the hand - can we afford next years contracts, if so whooopie do and happy days

We prob know more news when everyone back in tomorrow

But when 5 Super League clubs start a bidding war for a prized asset, it does give you stronger leverage.

Let's just see. Whilst inevitably we will need to streamline operations next season, Derek simply does not invest over £1 million of his own money to just walk away from the club he loves and supported from a young boy.

I saw him and Dr Marwen just after the hooter and whilst he must be hurting inside, like all of us , he did not strike me as someone just about to throw in the towel just yet. Not IMO.

Harold, I've said all along I don't think he will walk,and it wouldn't surprise me to see Marwan put a shilling or 2 in as well,at the moment we are limping, but a Good Doctor,and a Good Leyther can sort it out.
