Don't think Wigan would be interested in a half back to be honest, Way down on the priority list.

Looking forward to watching Leigh v Wakey tomorrow, Question is...... Will Leigh turn up, If Wakey turn you over at your place tomorrow i think it's safe to say your Sl dream is over for another year. The significance of you gaining home advantage in the 1m pound game is huge and tomorrow's game has a huge significance on that. Should be a cracker.

The debarcle at Salford isn't a great support to your argument.

I presume that's a sly dig at me. i'll repeat myself, again, so you understand. ellis had 4/5 clubs to choose from. he was all set to choose leeds when hull, who weren't in the picture, came in late with a huge mega bucks offer that changed his mind. at the time I spoke to his dad, who I have known for years, leeds was his preferred destination.

lots of deals are obviously kept secret but some leak out. matt diskins dad is a site manger, his assistant is a relation of danny houghtons. I worked on the site and that's how I knew leeds had approached Houghton. just luck of being in the right place.
three of my work mates are ex SL players, one leeds, one hull/cas/saints and one wakefield and its a small world. players talk

satisfied?

So a couple of pages ago Ellis' dad said his son WAS signing for Leeds....now it's just that Leeds was his preferred destination.

I think we all know people and hear stories, just know not to trust their accuracy 100% as their's always two sides, the player involved whether it be Ellis or Brierley and the club's side of things.

jesus. talk about pedantic. do you practice being a dick or does it come naturally?

Don't spit your dummy out just because someone isn't in awe because you know a RL players dad or some ex players.

ha ha, idiot status confirmed

I'll stand out and say my story is 100% accurate.

It is only a deal when both parties have signed on the dotted line.

My cousin was sat with Sam Burgess when he told those present he was signing for Manly. He was talking about looking forward to life on the Northern Beaches. Sam goes to a movie set as a guest and the rest is history.

I think most of the people on here pass stuff on in good faith. Why give people $hit if it doesn't happen.

Saying I have doubts that it's true isn't exactly giving people sh*t. Sulking at me because I doubt it, why do people do that?

I wasn't talking about any one situation. It's been going on for as long as I've posted.

like you say, people change their minds. and everything is in good faith but some people feel the need to score points

.....exactly. Bottom line. They don't seem to realise that the more mature amongst us don't really give a rat's ass who is "winning" the argument that sometimes ensues; with reams and reams of counter rebuttals and point by point disections. It's just bluddy boring - and not read by me at least.

Even G1 seems to have mellowed in his old(er) age. No so sure about Juan though

Nah. I haven't mellowed with age...just have less time for negative posters who are quick on the draw with their criticisms yet get very tetchy when their own errors are pointed out.

If you don't read them how do you know they are counter rebuttals? We might have been agreeing with each other



To be honest I'm not trying to "win" an argument, I've given my opinion on things and in reply Tad has called me a dick and an idiot because my opinion doesn't suit his viewpoint.

Meanwhile back to the rugby, I think brierley is a decent player but as a rhinos player, I would not want him.

Not good enough on this showing today.

Yes lots of hype around him but from what I've seen not for me

One eye playing for us

Did Gareth Ellis' dad tell you that



Brierley would do fine as a McGuire 2004 era type player bringing an X-factor and support play to our current style. He isn't however (and shouldn't be IF signed) viewed as some sort of Sinfield replacement.

Both eyes on staying at Leigh

Just read this from last week - don't think we'll have to worry about Leigh troubling the SL next year on today's result.

Based on them losing by a single point against the team they'll likely face in the Million Pound Game???

Leigh could've had a healthy first half lead if they can discover anything resembling good discipline.
