It’s a formula 1 scenario, 2 teams in it. If you call that a cracking season, not really worthy of a league.
'"
You may turn out to be right, but let's play the games first, eh? Remember the 2018 championship season, when Leigh were 1-2 favourites with the bookies to top the league?

Simple question? Why has your club not gone full time? We have been through this with Fax in the past. What’s your clubs excuse?

Yeah you came on the Fax message board made a load of insinuations about what had happened to the money then disappeared. If that's going through it after you got called out then fair enough.
I will help you out though. Why are Leigh full time? They have someone willing to pump hundreds of thousands of pounds in to the club to make full time sustainable, how much are Leigh in debt to DB or how much has he wrote off? At a guess neither Fev or Fax have someone who is able or willing to do that. Take away DB and we all know what happens with Leigh don't we? Its great that he gives you club that opportunity but lets not gloss it up like it is anything but what it is.

I believe Leigh are more profitable now without any cash injection from DB. So the sugar daddy effect is well gone. What’s your excuse for not being FT this time?

Your postings are an embarrassment to our club.
DB has written off £1 mill. Our funding this year is £183k i think he said last week do the maths with signings so far

You mean other than we can't afford and the player pool is not large enough to support many more full time teams?

| Totally agree Satanic Mills. His posts are an absolute embarrassment.
Astonishing how a moderator can be allowed to present such an unpleasant attitude on a rugby league forum.
The rugby league community is better than that. Stop being so provocative!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

That bounces back to clubs who had a opportunity, but decided to pay bills and then wait for next payment.

I think you’ll find DB gained a £1m. Hence his annual African tour..
Now who is an embarrassment to our club is becoming visible. Have a good year.

| Well. The season starts in around 30 days and we still don’t have a full squad. We are leaving it late again. Always seems to be panic stations.

I’d be very surprised to see the season start without more relaxed rules around COVID.

Then where did the money go? £50k in to reserve side. That’s questionable? The rest?

So basically you are guessing? Obviously I am just presuming that with you been wrong on the one thing that you do take a stab at. If you are going to troll at least have something to back it up with otherwise you just end up looking stupid.

You call Leigh for having a sugar daddy. I’ve shown you different. You where in a position as a club to return to full time. You chose an excuse of using the money on a reserve side. Again what did your club do with the winnings?
By the way Happy New Year. I will of course enjoy the day at the Shay next season.

Lets deal in facts. I have said Leigh are reliant on DB, other Leigh fans seem to agree on this but you disagreed which is fine. You have shown nothing that suggests otherwise though despite you saying you have. Regarding Fax, I have no idea what we spent our "winnings" on but you have said that you do. We are still awaiting answers on that front. Iknow i were not sent on the reserve side though. We were in a position to go full time? Based on what? A few extra hundred K in funding? Unlike other teams we do not hae someone willing to put millions of pounds in to the club and be able to write that money off. If we used that money to pay bills then I have no problem with that whatsoever, would I love us to go full time and get back to SL? Of course I would. Would I like to see that happen by putting the club at risk of financial ruin? Im really not so sure.
I see you also managed to get some threads locked and posts removed on the Fax forum. At the same time managed to avoid the accusations that you originally made. Well done.
All that said Happy New Year to everyone. Im looking forward to renewing our rivalry with Leigh this season.

That’s because the accusations where never made by me.. Try Starbug. I’ll accept the apology..
Good luck for the season.

Visa control seems to be playing a part which obviously is out of the clubs hands.

Looking at the squad lists that came out for Championship, IIRC Leigh have the 2nd smallest squad (in numbers) to London & London hotly tipped to be bottom feeders !
I think our squad is only 19/20 strong & if we do have Visa issues & those antipodeans don't make it here in time then Leigh could be starting with less than 17 to chose from come the opening League game !

I have no idea what you are talking about or what you are DM'ing me for. I am talking specifically about your posts trolling on the Fax forum.
The post in question......
Quote ="atomic"There’s no money on the table for furlough this time round. Dig deep.
Now if you had gone full time when you had the opportunity, things could have been different.
Just remind us where that money went to? It wasn’t to a reserve team that was proclaimed.'"
