You could well be right. He is a stand out player at this level. He is in a good well drilled Leigh side this season, and has IMO come up trumps.
I wouldn't mind if we (Widnes) signed him TBH, maybe chance our arms for the first year.

Well if we can't keep these players from going to a club whose average crowd is only a quarter of ours then there absolutely no hope for us. We must really be in the brown stuff financially. Champ1 here we come. If we can't offer players more money than swinton then there is no hope whatsoever.

| people would be surprised at how little we pay Derek there are at least 12 of our first team squad who are on little or no contract money and I would hazard a guess that figure would be higher next year, the figures don't add up to us paying out too much if any contracts without a benefactor or any income steams.

Meaning thah Nanyn will be Shyte, not Alright next season I suppose
Think the problem at the mo is that we can't offer much until we know where we stand - £100k for winning the grand final would deffo help negotiations.

| Where did you get that figure from Col? last time I enquired a team had to win the Trains cup, league leaders pennant (or whatever it is) AND the GF plus the cost of getting to Toulouse to get the full £100K.

We have had enough Bull recently to generate all the steams we require.

Fred, I'm reliably informed that the 'prize' for winning the GF is £75k - with £25k going to the team that wins the League.

They've been busy for weeks. The difference is they can be open about it now!
Time isn't really on Riddy's side as a halfback moving up to SL, but if he's given the chance then he'd be daft to turn it down or he'd spend the rest of his career wondering "what if?" - good luck to him, I say.

| Nobody has answered how swinton can offer more than us. Especially as most of the big contracts are gone With the time it is taking to sort out the finances the players will be gone. Its admirable they are taking the time to do this but can someone remind Trevor we need players

They've got a benefactor with deep pockets. We don't have one. That's the way I see it anyroad.

Last season they signed Morrison because they offered him more money that we could. Next season they are making a go of it in the Championship. They have no debt like we have and their costs are much lower than ours because they don't have a mill stone like the LSV around their necks. We have to reduce our wage bill drastically while they can afford to increase their wage bill drastically. They will be offering contracts for next season, we will be offering pay as you play terms. No brainer for players really, Leigh won't be an attractive proposition. We will have to wait until December to see what players can't get contracts elsewhere and are willing to sign on our terms.

1. Not aware that we have any debt
2. They are looking at playing at the LSV next season
3. Pay as you play contracts could be more valuble than standard contracts - just don't get injured - and win
4. You really are a doom and gloom merchant - or the players agent

It's helpful to the players if it gets them an improved offer elsewhere, can't imagine anything will be set in stone yet

1: Well documented that there will be a significant short fall at the end of the season. No one to pay that shortfall off yet, so we will go into next season in debt. Therefore the club will have to cut their cloth to suit next season in order to keep going and pay off that debt. Fact.
2: Blackburn Rovers currently play at the LSV and have a considerably better deal than Leigh Centurions. Any other teams that want to play at the LSV should be able to negotiate a similar deal. Fact.
3: Our playing budget will be significantly cut next season due to "paying within our means". Leigh will not be paying out on big contracts or big pay as you play deals. Fact.
4: I only deal in facts.
