I'm sure all of them would get in a championship side. More to the point for all three sides would any be right in the super League teams? |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

It is a great victory for Nigel Wood's plan to make the Super League more insular than ever, with a suburb of Wigan possibly joining the M-62 + 1 competition in 2016.

What are Leigh's finances like theses days? It doesn't seem to long ago that they were on the edge of financial ruin.

Very, very strong. The recent addition of the Russian Oil Czar has really upped the stakes |

GF the Broncos haven't gone for a big one off costly signing. We all know Hughesey will cough up on Broncos debts. Have Leigh got the equivalent?
I'm hoping Leigh aren't going for a boom or bust approach

Nope. We've decided to give jobs to mates of the coach.
Quote: wire-quin "We all know Hughesey will cough up on Broncos debts.'"
I don't know if Hughes will or will not cover any losses we may make. He certainly has covered AK's aspirations financially for 2015, but they still haven't thrashed out the fine points......and Hughes is a negotiator, having nearly destroyed us totally in 2013. As it is, I'd prefer to think that the squad we have assembled are costing us no more than our central funding and the day to day running costs are being met by commercial activity.
Quote: wire-quin "Have Leigh got the equivalent?'"
From what I've read, Leigh have put in place a business plan that will prevent them from over-stretching. Mike Norris their Chairman recently was quoted as saying
[i“We can then continue to roll out our plans in the measured way we believe will enable us to fulfil our ambitions. I am confident I can oversee that strategy and lead us along the path and look forward to doing so.”[/i
Quote: wire-quin "I'm hoping Leigh aren't going for a boom or bust approach'"
I suspect that they are well within their budgets for 2015 having been a very well run business on and off the field in 2014. If they were going for bust to get back up, it would take more than 1 35yr old player to get them there..... |

edited for accuracy.
I don't care what he's getting paid. For 2 games this year, we need to worry about the 30-40 minutes he's playing against us and that's it. Leigh obviously are comfortable with whatever amount he's on. They seem like a very well run outfit since their 2011 wobble....I still see them as 3rd place finishers this year, but they will be one of the sterner tests the team face. |
