We find out which players are available to us, not 'which player [we're] getting'. Wigan don't send us players, they let us know which players are available to us. We're under no obligation to use any of them.

This is true.

Wigan in the week give Paul a list of players they aren't using that week we can pick any off that list. So it's Paul choice not Wigan and like last week he can pick none if you don't count Spencer .

No one older than 23 and a maximum of 4.

It is also a fact that until we hit our injury crisis we only ever used Tom Spencer.

Frank, are we in a partnership with Wigan?

Yes or no?

No

Fantastic news, or is this a hokey cokey partnership

In, out, in, out, shake it all about

The Superleague clubs scrapped their reserve sides because they thought it would save them money and they could use the Championship to give their players game time.

I thought it was a stupidly short sighted move which would harm the pro game and it has proved true.

Too many Championship clubs fear relegation and if you look at the teams in Champ 1 you will see why.

Too many Championship clubs have gone down the feeder club route. It will cost them in the long run.

Leigh have imposed strict conditions on our 'what I would call' an understanding with Wigan. Clubs sadly like Swinton have not.



We are where we are and I would have preferred that our understanding had not been made public because I knew what the reaction would be.

Leigh have too many so called supporters who have very stubborn views who can't see the wood for the trees.

We need to get out of this league to prosper. Had another 700 put up with our agreement for just one season we would do that.

Partnership no. Agreement with conditions which suit Leigh yes.

Murphy.... Warrington

Woods.... Bradford

Drummond.... Warrington.


You see even when we are the Challenge Cup holders or just been crowned Rugby League champions as we were at some stage when these lads were wearing the shirt, we will never be viewed to be as big as the likes of Leeds, Hull, Warrington et al.

We can strive to be as good as the best and we can definitely punch above our weight at times but it will always be a struggle for Leigh to keep hold of it's best players, even world class players as our history proves.

Frank, Leigh havent lost 700 fans because of the partnership/agreement with Wigan ,I'd say a hundred at most have that as a part of the reason they no longer attend

Leighs current low attendances are the result of the increasingly difficult financial and employment situation due to the recession ( shown by all RL and other sports attendances ) and their abject failure to market themselves for several years, especially since moving into the LSV, compounded by the league structural changes we have seen since then

I hope and believe that the future will be better for the club, and all will be invited to the party

We have lost fans to apathy, to continually play the same teams knowing that you can win every game all season and still not go up has driven fans away fron us and the game in general. No doubt about that.

The current economic climate is a factor also. I agree,

The fact we have a couple of loan players in from Wigan is just another tap room excuse along the lines of

'I am a passionate Leigh RLFC supporter but I have not been since we sold the training pitch to B&Q for £100 Billion, Where did all that cash go'

Feckin Bore off..........

You missed out the lack of marketing, everything else is beyond our control, so at least try to control what you can

You maybe right but so is Harold.

When I am back in Leigh I hear the same old same old about why folk don't go anymore then stare at their pint pots on match days and then ask you what the score was.
