Leigh Vikings?

You better hope we don't draw you in the Challenge Cup.



Have you noticed how former Widnes players improve when they sign for Leigh ?

i can think of a lot worse things to be called at the moment

what is the point of this? and where does it leave ant nicholson who will be a much better player than coyle? if true this maybe the clubs first poor piece of business

Alternatively they weren't actually that bad in the first place?

Phew, there were rumours linking us with him. Should hopefully slow down Leighs attack which always looks pretty crisp.

Were we not linked with Coyle before Basil scuppered the deal when he became coach?

Yep, he had all but signed and Millward told Arthur Thomas that he didn't rate him.

I have to agree with Millward on this one, the money would be better spent elsewhere or not at all.

Wasn't that long ago when Coyle played at Barrow in our 74 6 defeat there.

He had a blinder that day.

Most of last season he was injured so how often have you seen him play Reffy ?



Just making a case for the defence as it were.

And do you know how much his contract is for ?

I think we should wait and see.

He was obviously deemed good enough to be offered a two year SL contract.

Well if he's putting a Leyth shirt on i welcome him on board.

I trust Paul Rowley to only sign players who can bring something extra to the team

If he is putting a Leyth shirt on then who will be taking it off?

Don't know i will leave that too PR.

Where are you getting your cash from? Begging for an advance last year, spending money like it's armageddon this year.

I'll never fathom Rugby League clubs. Mind you, look at Salford. Phoenix rising in a new home in February, batting off winding up petitions by October.

It's a mad mad world.

Totaly agree Ian and Paul has shown that he knows how to get the best out of his squad.

Don't mean to disrespect, but I really do not rate this lad at all. I think there is no place for him in our squad at the minute. And I think he's not good enough for the level we have shown this year. Its a serious backward step.
Sorry.... just my personal opinion

They're not coming for the money, just for the chance of playing for the best coach in the Championship, at a club with cracking facilities.



Our playing budget for 2013 is £140k (what's yours?

) and we haven't spent it all yet. Anyway's if you listen to many on here, he won't be able to get on the team, ahead of our 20 D/C's from W***n!

Jacko you are entitled to your opinion mate no need to be sorry, this board would be boring if we all had the same opinion, as for Coyle lets see how he does next season he may have a blinder.

If we have signed him why is it not on the official site?

When the OP says it was in the paper, was it from official sources or just another rumour?

Good point that mish.

Smack bang in the middle of the Championship round up page along with comment from PR.

Did he comment on the signing Derek?
