He was contracted to Leigh at the time so shouldnt have been in discussions with you, I recall the RFL just said pretend nothing ever happened - Millward then signed him for Saints, and we got hamilton and cash

Mo not often I agree with you

but you are right on this occasion,Fax tried to sign BOTH Higham and Donlan for nothing ,they succeeded in signing Donlan but Millward got wind of the deal and offered Hamilton and cash for Mickey.

Pete you could be right ,hopefully you are wrong again after last week's forecast from you

,you have the right attitude about Big Sam though ,a very good player , he might even finish his playing days at Fax,you never know.

Ha ha. Higham.

Arrogant Leigh. It's getting boring now.

Does Derek have anything to say on Twitter?

Mickey WILL be playing for Leigh next season at the latest,could be this year yet.Charlie knows.Hope to see you all at Blackpool a week on Saturday ,UP THE FAX.

Charlie knows f**k all.

They'll need him after the up coming player exodus.

Player exodus where Rich?If you mean at Leigh we always have a few players leave at the end of the season to improve our Squad ,and if we are in SL we will need a few additions to compete ,however if we don't get into SL at the end of the season we will still sign a few new players to improve ,thus making the BIG gap between us and Fax even wider still.





.

Mr Ryan you could be right ,look at the Fax Fantasy League placings

and try loostening your Jockstrap

.

Charlie. That of course is the Leigh version of events.

This side of the Pennines not surprisingly there's a different report on what took place back then.

It goes something like this.

It was Millward that actually recommended them both to Fax in the first place.

As for trying to sign them for nothing Leigh were in trouble and were not in a position to offer them a new contract or maintain their pay packets that's why Stuart Donlan came to Fax.

Mickey Higham was incoming under the same conditions and a contract was in place with Fax but when RM went to Saints he nipped in with the counter offer which some viewed has him going back on his recommendation and being less than ethical.

The RFL were aware of the situation but after Mickey told Fax he wanted to go to Saints then all parties decided there was no point in arguing the case just as there is no point now, Leigh have their version, Fax have theirs.

The rest is factual history and Mickey has been a credit to the game ever since as was SD.

Just sounds to me like someone was taking the Mickey...

Can only see a Wakefield win here. Everything went Leighs way for them to beat Salford, just can't see them having the rub of the green again. If it had been at LSV then think Leigh might've edged it

Wildcats by 16

As you rightly say I have only ever heard one version of what happened.

Leigh for me anytime.

Don't know what's worse, the rumours, or so called rl fans apparent desperation for this stuff to be true.

Wakey 18-28 Leigh
Leigh know how to win at all cost (don't we just know it

) just think they'll be strong enough don't think last two close calls will have any bearing.

I've been in my Local Ladbrokes this morning and Leigh are off Scratch which surprises me very much,Wakey are SL and have home advantage so id make them favorites though not by much.My predictions are terrible at the moment , but I'm going for a score of Wakey 22 v Leigh 26,if we have to a Leigh win by a knockout .

Knock out indeed
