Nossy Parker in his column mentioned that he has been given the names of Said and Penky as possible departures, both under contract !!

Is he the Italian version of Nosey Parker? i must remember to buy the Italian Leaguer next time im in Halifax.

Cant see it myself

Why not? If the club can get a decent enough fee for them and lose them to Clubs outside of our league (assuming one is Leigh, wanting Penky to help them back into this league) while replacing them with good players and pocketing the change, it makes sense to me.

Whether it happens or not is another thing. Nosey isn't the most reliable of reporters

i agree...if they want to go elsewhere and we get a good fee then so be it..

these are obviously rumours, but if true, we will survive just fine...something tells me we have a long way to go with new signings for next year!

hope they dont go tho

We have ticked the box so to speak, so the pressure is off. Obviously we want to win something but if offers are put in for players that will benefit us in the long term then we need to look at them. No player is bigger than the club. If Somebody wants to leave let them as personally I only want people who will give 100%

i don't understand why if Penky didnbt want to go to Leigh when they were in the Championship why he would want to go them in Championship 1.

i can't see them leaving, we put a lot of work into this squad. to let one of your best playmakers and one of your go forward players would be stupid.

This is just a journo trying to stir up e.

Just looking at the players they all seem to get on so well & appear to be friends as well as team mates. A vital ingredient in our success this year imo.

Therefore why would a player want to move away from this, especially after signing a contract only a couple of months ago (Penky) & in Said's case he was the 1st to sign on for 2yrs & in a way.

to stand the best chance of super league, we need to go one better next season and win either the Rail cup or the league and the then year after do the double

this does a few things, it limits other teams getting to finals and ticking boxes, and also strenghs our case as the best team/application

Would i be right in saying so far 3 teams have ticked the box, Us, Barrow and Widnes, therfore being selfish, i would only wnat to see these teams in each of the 4 more finals there is to go!

not withstanding that the RFL will no doubt change the rules again between now and then! lol

I say we keep our top players and push on for victory.........

I've not heard anything about him being offered anything by anybody, but Leigh would be an obvious one IF it were true and the offer would be bigger and better IMO to help them back out of their league at the first attempt.

It's all just pure speculation for now.

Nosey needs to sell papers and sensationalism is used all the time.

Nosey Parker is the king of the forum surfers.

Only next year counts , so unless something strange happens in either Toulouse or Gateshead it is a 3 horse race

Auzie and Gene will provide the space for Penky to work his magic next season.

He would be crazy to leave now we have these 2.

Very doubtful , we have basically a full squad signed up now with no overseas players despite being allowed 2 next year , a much better idea would be to look to strengthen half way through once the proper season has started , to offer Penky money now would be a total waste

also remember next year in the bottom league, dont Leigh have a reduced salary cap?

But that assumes a current Non Relegation league club goes bust.In my view the RFL can,t afford that to happen.

And if one did the rules could be changed cos the chairmen of Non Relegation League haven,t got the bottle to call the RFL,s bluff.

tossy Parker more like. What nonsense. Contracted players won't leave but for a lot of money. The fact we discuss this gives Parker column inches and contributes to his existence. Lock it before people starting suffering paranoia. It's hard enough being a fax fan!

I think it`s not so much trying to sell papers but more about keeping his column inches .There was a time when he had a big two page spread ,the last time I looked at it around 12 months since it was cut drasticly. I do believe they prefer to sell space to advertising unless he has something big to report.

Total sheeite stiirer , I forced him do a retraction a few years back when he made up some fairly nasty but totally made up comments about somebody





hello nosey

, remember me

He also claims to have got correct the bit about 2 players leaving. However i hardly class Wilson and Govin as major departures. One hasnt figured most of the season as not to activate a clause in his contract and the other was a forgone conclsion with the signing of a natural half back.

my thoughts entirely..what a knob.reading last weeks column youd have thought clay and hall were leaving.

penky wont be coming to leigh, but i belive had a clause in his new contract to leave for a super league club.... salford or celtic maybe ?????

All player contracts below SL have that contract. They have to. Something to do with not stopping the player from playing at the highest level or playing Full time rather than Part Time.

I'd say far from the pressure being off, it's increasing now you've 'ticked the first box'. Resting on your laurels now would be the club's undoing.
