You have me well sussed Mick.

Leigh are going to win the league by a country mile

ten points is even further than a country mile i think.

Frank B gets carried away and was only a friendly.Top 4 i think, but to say win the league is a joke.

Nope, sorry, you can't take it back for him now. He's said and It should be pinned up in the locker room as we speak, MC I'm told will be using it to fire up the boys for every game, 'Come on boys, Frank B said...' I can see it now, with ammo like that how can we not win everything this year, even the Euro's and Wimbledon!!!!!!






P.S. Yes, I am aware the Euro's aren't even on this year

Glad we don't bother with the games at Christmas anymore, waste of time.
Another RL tradition gone down the toilet but like I said they are not worth it now, just let us all come back fully refreshed in the New Year, starting to get the itch now.

Then I think you should be wondering why your club relies so much on overseas players. In fact, when you lump in Nero as well, 8 players from overseas is absolutely fecking ridiculous, if you ask me. We've only got one overseas player in Robbie Paul, and even he doesn't count on the quota!

Maybe takes the limelight away from the country mile comment?

You could say that about every team in every sport in England my friend.

agree about that, why do SL teams have so many overseas players then complain about england not being able to do well. thought they were supposed to be using more UK players these days.

But to the extent of nearly half of your matchday squad? I don't think so. We didn't even have a Yorkshireman in our team yesterday, never mind players from overseas!

Thats what astonished me when some SL fans praised Salfords 2011 recruitment as a great sign of what franchising can achieve... I feel it is the opposite?

The Leigh fans make me laugh - it is obvious they were all in The Centurion having some festive beer both before and after match - No way will they win the league by 10 points - this statement is a joke and like others have said will haunt them through the season. IMO they will be no better than last year and quite possibly worst as they are have the hardest start to the campaign compared to all the other pretenders to our crown. If it wasn't for their Dual Regs they would of been no where near as was obvious when the Dual Regs were called back to the promised land. Come on Lads please get real !!!!

Look at the FA Premier League mate every team in that league has more than half of their squads filled with foreigners, Salford are just doing what everyone else does, the old saying goes (if you can't beat em join em)

Hang on, hang on! It's only Frank who's suggesting we'll be anywhere near the title, and the Three Pigeons annual accounts will confirm he likes a drink or two




No wonder we can't anywhere near the Aussies (and in the same vein why the England football team are bobbins).

No the reason we can't get near the Aussies is due to RL being one of their national sports also their player pool is like a drop in the ocean compared to England's.

Anyway RL's international game is Dead i couldn't give a toss if england beat the aussies or not.

That's what Frank said that's not every other Leigh supporters opinion

Shhhhhhhhhh. Dont tell the RFL this,they havnt figured it out yet but when they do they will be requesting the UK government puts a ban on condoms to increase the population.

Frank is a good fisherman. Plenty took his bait.

Fair play and don't get me wrong it is what's best for the fans currently and should get a good strong side out on the park BUT you also can't deny it will damage the international game by putting some of your player development on hold to play these imports? Each club to their own but that's a fact.

Also it was only a season or two a go that Salford were saying how great they were playing all these kids and helping develop the British game yet as soon as some money free's up it goes out the window! As I say, each to there own and it will benefit the club short term but long term perhaps not and certainly not for our youngsters.

I dont see what the big deal is myself. Like has been posted there are plenty other reasons we dont get near the Aussies other than because the teams over here are half filled with them. As a Chairman what do you want for your team? To be as succesful as possible? As a fan what do you want for your team? To be succesful as possible? As my team is the one that i watch every week then i want the board and coach to do everything in their power to make us succesful and if that means signing Aussies or Chinamen then i dont really care. I have no interest whatsoever how many players we have in the team that are locals. I just want to see us win. Why would i want to see my team do something to sacrafice themselves for the sake of the international scene, a scene that we just arnt going to get in front of the 2 major teams any time in the distant future apart from the odd one off victory.

Which is why it needs to be a universal acceptance by the British RL clubs and why the quota should be stricter and smaller. If sides can do it then your right they will so for the long term good of the game we all need to come together and stop it and even out the balance.

And don't forget i think Franks second team is Fax, he does go to quite a few of your game, happy new year to you all and good luck for the season.

It's a friendly I don't know why everyone gets so heated.

Well there was a good bust up during the game and Littler through a couple of good ones.

He played a wide running role as did another of our forwards. Hope Widnes avoid relegation as they do look nailed on for the Non Relegation League in 2012.
