Now Webster has departed Wakey www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-league/32795591 They will need a proven fire fighter get the right one and it could be a different Wakey in the 8's, I see John Kear has been mentioned elsewhere and he could motivate their Squad, it's going to be interesting come August

thats a shame, Webster was doing a fine job running down one of our middle 8 rivals, putting Kear in charge would make them harder to beat in the middle 8's IMO.

On the playoffs, I could see a situation with Leigh making 3rd and us being in the playoff against Wakey or more probably Widnes. I still think the final playoff should be at a neutral ground too, but there you go.

That's just typical Trinity arrogance. They should just cut their cloth accordingly, plummet through the leagues, become insolvent, sell their ground, then merge with a local amateur club. If it's good enough for Bramley...

Maybe someone can get agent Cummings in to Wakey to finish the job?

paranoid about injuries, are clearly going for the very big, let's make absolutely sure we can always get 17 on the field, approach - but just think what good individuals we might have had in our side if we'd just stuck with 4 props and say, 3 second rows and 3 centres..others though may well have gone with 22 or 23 player squads at the bottom end, 25 to 27 in the middle.

That said, in comparing Leigh and Wakey you may well come to the same decision, though I've not actually looked at their whole squads, so couldn't say.

Beat me too it!!!

Leigh signing Higham strengthens their chances for the 8's. Still a cracking player for a TOP SL club.

Looks like they have plenty of money to spend. No salary cap for Leigh.

£50,000 transfer fee, for a 34 year old in the second tier competition. Impressive. (That must be a record transfer fee for the 2nd tier comp in this country??)

Leigh clearly mean to go up this time and would then see that fee as money well invested or able to be written off considering the extra cash available in Super league next season if Higham is the difference in them getting there.

Also, in that article when they mention his previous clubs how come they don't mention his time with us??!?







#edit - a prize to anyone who pm's me with the differences these edits made to the above post, there are 3 btw....oooo the excitement

Where as I can't see one of you finishing third above one of the other 3 SL teams, unless Wakefield appoint a miracle man to get us out of the mess were in, I can definately see you and Leigh fighting for the 4th and 5th spot.

That typical Trinity arrogance you know so much about, would that be the clubs typical arrogance or the trinity fans typical arrogance

just thought I'd ask.
Btw I'm sure it's just an over sight on your part as you seem to know plenty about us, but like yourselves we don't own our ground we rent it and pay a slightly higher price than what you do, but we don't wanna go there do we nah! in fact you could be mirroring your own club with your post, best left at that don't you think, save any unwanted bitterness

I do like a nice deferred chomp.

Well if nothing else your posts' are consistent

Back on topic, that's a good signing by Leigh. Although I like their first choice hooker, Higham will bring bags of SL experience to their side which they will need in the Middle 8s against SL opposition. I thought they might have signed him on loan till the end of the season rather than paying a fee for him, as he's 34, but he's still a class player.

He could make all the difference, money well spent if he helps them get promoted.

Because of Fev's CC game last week, we now have to fit in a midweek game with them, which will be Wednesday 1st July.

Do Leigh now have 2 midweek games to fit in?

Presumably, yes. But they're a family club so it shouldn't be any bother..

In the 2 televised matches I thought Beswick was in Leigh's top three performers- and has been playing the full 80minutes. Higham is obviously a class act and will play so it will be interesting to see how the team and Beswick react and adapt

I'd expect pretty successfully main reason they stumped up the cash for Higham is because i believe Sean Penkywicz (spelling?) is out for the season with a knee injury and they were operating with two hookers.

Two hookers operating on penky's knee.

That will make Penky smile Derek.

Not THE Derek?!

Derek 'go brush your ar5e, you toothless c8ck' Beaumont?

Dat guy a poet!

There's a few Dereks on the Leigh board.
