no way, beat you villagers 20-0 last season when our players hadn't been paid for a month. Unless all those 6 Huddersfield Giants 'loanees' are superb players.

| Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "Add to that Barlow not taking a pay cut to join them, Leigh must have spent a lot of money for this season. I guess that is who Mark Aston was having a pop at when he mentioned about teams putting all their eggs in one basket.
Anyway Im going to go for a Batley shock in this one as Leigh seem to have problems with in fighting and also havnt really set the world alight pre-season against some poor teams.'"
Dear Leigh fans,
'Greg' certainly wasn't my source and I'd like to put a very big distance between myself and this serial-troller.
Here's to a cracker tomorrow.
Good luck

Looking forwards to tomorrow, expecting a good low scoring wrestle of a match.
I need cheering up after Thursday's farce, so feel free to buy me a drink if I happen to be empty handed!

Why would I bee your "source" in regards to Alex Brown?  I was talking Sam Barlow and the sort of money he is on and the money a couple of others were touting around for. Its really not that hard to work out Leigh will be treading a fine line. |

| Quote: mr. chairman "Greg , how could you know about the finances of Leigh centurions . The club as a robust financial structure spread across a competent BOD who have put in place a financial structure that is not supported by one person .
Other sporting clubs would be wise to follow this Buisness plan then our game would be in a healthier position'"
I dont know nothing about Leigh`s finances but I hear what players are asking for and a lot of the time they get somewhere near what they are asking. On that note its not hard to see that Leigh will have spent a fair wedge this season with the players they have brought in. Its really not rocket science.

I stopped reading anything posted on this forum by 'Greg Florimo's Boots' a long time ago.
Incidently by the time Greg Florimo arrived on Halifax's doorstep he was just another over paid Aussie delaying his old age retirement for one very final meal ticket. They were more than happy to oblige him.

He had a terrible season at Wigan wrecked by injury and they paid him off which allowed Fax to get him on the cheap. He played most of his season at Fax in the Centres and you ask any Fax fan if they think he was just another overpaid Aussie.
I guess its hard to compare for some Leigh fans as they obviously havnt been blessed with watching that much top flight rugby over the years but in nearly 30 years of watching Fax,most of that in the top flight, Florimo would be in my top 3 centres that I have seen for Fax along with Schuster and Austin. |

Aw well he told a little white lie because he had too!
Heard Batley fans coming out saying we'd broke the salary cap.
Believe you me our Finance Director won't let that happen .
We have Brierley , Kay , Ostick and Spencer employed by the Community dept remember
