I sometimes wonder Charlie.........

Greg I always give credit where its due , and I agree with what you have said on the Subject of Sam Barlow and Gareth Hock on the Leigh messageboard

.Makes a change me agreeing with you .

It was me Charlie who enquires about the Salary Cap.

John ,I trust the Leigh BOD if they say we are not spending over the Salary Cap who are we to argue , I trust them and welcome Gareth to the LSV ,when Fax arrive in May he should be fully up to speed and rain to have a good go at you .

£60,000 to £100,000 that would be quite a large wage cut he's taking.

Well potentially its a good signing but then again it could have the potential to blow up in Leigh's faces. The way it's going the Leythers are going to be pushing for top spot, following that I hope they get a SL spot because it would then give a great boost for all other Champ clubs. That is of course if we don't get up there first.

As with any signing with Gareths character anything could happen but then I would fully expect Leigh to be more aware than anyone concerning this and the deal will have been right for them.

How he goes with them will be down to him because they will do their part of the bargain.

My main concern would be if they fail in the big SL push what happens then, is it a boom or bust waiting to happen?

Lets hope they have done there sums right and there is a backup plan.

The Leythers have been through tough times before and not that long ago and worked their butts off to turn it around, they deserve a run of the good times.

Fax are at least 4 years behind again after the KH period in charge fell short, there no surprise, they should be better on the field by some margin, were starting from scratch again so all these comparisons need to have that in mind.

For me that's why I was happy enough with our performance in Sundays game, new coach, several players were new with just a couple of games for the club and together under their belts, hopefully with some game time things should get better for us on the field and for both clubs on and off.

I don't care what anyone says - they're on the road to ruin. One megalomaniac in charge spending bucketloads. If they finished 5th two years on the trot how will those on four & five year contracts be funded? Their track record speaks for itself. "Oh, we'll never rely on one man again". And six months later King Derek purges the board and takes the reins.

It will end in tears. Their fan base isn't big enough for that man's ego.

He was international class 6 years ago, not any more.

Jeez Rich you sound like Rumplestiltskin you will dancing round the campfire next

.When will this road to RUIN as you speak of arrive?It won't be this season we expect a crowd of around 5000 for London visit , with around 100 from London, Derek knows what he is doing,we have the best squad in this Division,what shade of GREEN are you?

Are you coming on Sunday Rich, join the revolution - I cant believe we are well on the way to 5000 v London

I think you think you know much more than you actually do..... which would be bordering on zero.

I'd rather see the passing of a couple of years or so without Leigh announcing one calamity or another before i swoon.

Most RL Chairmen with big gobs usually f**k up sooner or later. It's not really jealousy - rather than an expectation of a meltdown. A couple more years of a clean financial sheet might change my attitude. But what do you care - you're living the dream right?

I think it is boom or bust and if dont win in the Super 8s it could be trouble. Big risk with Hock and a little incident it will be a big game ban. The guy will be targeted to be wound up and i feel big pockets at Leigh. Got to admit Leigh fan base is better than Salfraud.

Andy why do you think it will trouble for us if we don't go up this season we have a long term backing money wish, if we go up this season it's a bonus.

He was an idiot at Widnes mate and i wont forget that stupid push on the ref. He was class at times, then do offloads that were not on at all. On his day is fantastic, and looking at your squad you must have some money from the owners and sponsors. Prefer Leigh than Salford in Superleague anyday, because you will bring more supporters to our ground.

No worries mate only time will tell if it works out well for us, anyway hope to see you soon take care mate.

Aww well done for the link...Shall we do the same for your own clubs 4ck ups

No, you are fine, we were there. You've just got to remember that Rich is an accountant, I will say no more.

I applaud Leigh in their vision this year regards to marketing etc but signing Hock hmmm one step too far? We'll have to see wont we

As you so rightly say , Gareth must be given a chance and starts his Leigh career with a clean slate , obviously it is a gamble Leigh are taking , but signing every player or Coach is a gamble , why try to be negative till the guy has a chance to show what he can do .We have heard Rich in the past , lets see where we are at the end of the season .

How many "clean slates" has this guy been given and forked it up and let his club down every time?! I'm all for giving a guy a second chance, but this guys on his 15th! Id have been so disappointed if we'd signed him, and i definitely thought Leigh had more sense and more class.

He can't play until Easter due to his latest indiscretion "deliberately kneeing an opponant in the back" six games.
Strange how Leigh despise Dane but welcome Hock with open arms.

#JusticeForDane

Gareth has only played for 3 clubs and made 191 appearances for Wigan so he did something right ,I agree in the past he has had his problems but we will see what happens later in the Season,as Leigh? They have plenty of Class in every Dept.
