Quote ="Saddened!"What's the score with this kid? There has been rumours of SL clubs and big ones at that being turned down by Leigh or the player for the best part of two years now. No disrespect to Leigh or the Championship, but it can't be money that's keeping him at Leigh. Most SL clubs could pay off his entire contract, Leeds certainly could. He could probably quadruple his pay. Yet publicly he's never moaned once that I've seen.
What's going on with your finances these days? Are you heavily backed these days or under some form of fan-run consortium as was muted when you were going through the mire a few years back? I'm just struggling to see how any Championship club could turn down a reasonable offer from anyone these days?'"
I think the score with him is exactly that.
He's too nice a lad to publicly bite the hand thats feeding him. My gut feeling is that he will have been told by a member of the board that even if a mega offer came in for him that it would be rejected. The same as the fans are told everytime this comes up at a fans forum. I think that his situation will be revieweed in November next year, if we're in Super League he'll be offered a mega deal with us and if we come up short he will be off to Salford. The Leeds interest will only improve his deal offered by Salford, he must be licking his lips waiting for it.
He always gives 110% and works tirelessly in the community, he's the perfect role model as far as Leigh are concerned and whatever happens he'll go with the backing of atleast 90% of Leigh fans.
