The lose - lose situation is a personal one in all honesty. I've watched H come through the ranks from him being 16 years of age and saw him score two tries in the U17 academy final in 2002. In that time I got to know his mum & dad and have met up with them on many occasions home and away for a pre match beer.

IF he goes then I really hope he gets a fantastic deal and just meet up with Shane at the Salford games.

I also heard that Salford were "stumping up a very, very significant mount of cash" but I couldn't vouch for the source.

I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be implying skepticism or not, but if so, I'd argue we aren't likely to be giving him away.

That Leigh to Salford commuting route that is on a par with the exodus of the Jews, both in terms of hardship and time scale?

News will be broke in the next 48hours.

Of Hansen paying for a trainline to be ran through Leigh out of his newly acquired riches?

Exactly. I'd also argue that he's unlikely to go on less money. It's entirely plausible that you and Mike87 are both correct.

It's the bit about HH's current 'poverty row' deal at Wigan that I found doubtful. If you don't, fine. Neither of us, I guess, will ever know for sure.

so 24 hours down feeling nervous?

No it was Koukash who said 48hours I didn't just make it up.

Anyone else get a REDLEAGUE vibe in this thread?

I never said you did, but it was a bold statement to make. Also as a Wigan fan i know it will be up to Lenegan when he decides to make transfers dealings public. For all we know the contract might of been signed but until the time is felt as right it won't be confirmed.
