I have had time to digest things and reflect on this, if Salford have come in and nicked him then we have lost a fine potential signing......but we will move on, and up, without him..(I do hope not though!!!).

Its the lads choice, and if a better offer is made, and accepted, then theres nowt on here bound change that.

If he has gone, then good luck to him and lets move on .

If not, then lets welcome him aboard and move on.

And lets keep this new relationship on track, there are bigger things at stake here as we all well know.

"I'll quote Allan Rowley here, I'm sure he wont mind.... 'one of the worst thing about RL at the moment are those f*****g message boards'.

He's right too. What used to be a few grumbling old men in the tap room is now an infinate amount of people giving their opinion for the world to see."

There is nothing up with offering an opinion, nothing at all,it comes with living in a democracy & if Rowley doesn't like it he knows what he can do.

But if said opinions have a negative effect on the club, then I think we've got a problem on our hands. I don't think anyone is suggesting that messageboard rumour would be the sole factor in a player not signing for us, but it may play a part.

Totally agree, there is nowt wrong with an opinion - like I said, I'm sure Allan [i'is big and ugly enough to take it on the chin'[/i.

But do you honestly think an 18 year old lad who wants to play for Leigh deserves to be at the centre of a storm?

having said that they have "used" these ****** message boards to their advantage to to promote the club.

Lets get the record stright, Sam has not signed for any body yet, so could you all let things take it,s corse and keep your differances to your self, If not for your club's, for the sake of the player.]]

I'm assuming this was recently, as our 'young' replacement for Ian Watson!

It seems to me that the only person to come out of this unscathed is Sam himself. I know I will never know the whole story but here we have a promising young lad who wants to sign for his home town club and it looks like he may be prevented from doing so because of sour negotiations between his adviser and LRLFC.
As Mr.chairman states his adviser has appologised so he can't be blameless and the statement by the club was inappropriate and that should also be appologised for.
Good luck Sam in wherever your career goes, I am sure all Leigh fans wish you the best as well.

the club for a starter, especially when its stated in a paper that he has signed.

it seems that the guy fishwick has done what all agents do, and thast is get the best deal for his player, shame he had to use the cdnturions in this way to do it. but that's the mucky world of agents in rl i guess.

They should all sit around the table today and start again

Better than Eastenders, this.
