Quote ="mr. chairman"the answer is no leigh east have never considered paying its players , there are other ways to look after players other than paying them. amatuer players can be paid out of pocket expences but i dont know many clubs who do , there are rumours around that some clubs pay players and the rfl are going to start investigating the top leagues to find the culprits and about time too. many amatuer players get paid more in the jobs they have and would lose out if they signed pro , also a lot of amatuer players cant commit to the 5 times a week training . personally i see many players in the ncl that are far better than those in the pro game . let me put it this way none of the amatuer teams in leigh would have got beat by barrow today by more than 40 points'"
Good call Mr Chairman. fancy a few games in charge at the LSV main stadium until Mr. Millward arrives.
