Why is the story not there any more or is it just my links and my iPad?

The link has vanished and the Leigh Reporter Twitter Feed.could somebody have jumped the gun "AGAIN"

Maybe he is still under contract at Salford and we are trying to avoid a xfer fee ?

It was the Leigh Reporter who twittered it not our club.

Not first time they've done this sort of thing though is it

Another quality signing. If the people of Leigh won't come along to watch this squad play they are sending the message out that Leigh, don't want a SL team!

Unfortunately, we won't be able to defend 'our' NRC as the RFL have 'suspended' the competion!


I wonder if they have plans to suspend the RLCC ? no,I thought not ! we dont want to upset our SL clubs do we



Welcome back Jake, we may not pay the same money but you will be appreciated at the LSV!

Apparently it was the clubs that voted to drop the NL/NRCup this season, not the RFL

The soft bu...rs afraid of facing us again!
Are the Championship clubs stupid or what?

Including us apparently

If I am wrong, I am happy to be told so

Suspect you are probably right Steve, although the clubs probably felt they had something more important to be playing for, at the time they voted! Also, didn't Northern Rail's sponsorship expire at the end of last season? And the SL clubs would no doubt tell us how good the RFL is at getting competition sponsorship deals!

wasn't it spoken about at the last LISA meeting? www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmF4XqgE ... voycq-WNFA here is the link sorry Im not going through it for you

I'm afraid in this instance you are wrong Steve. Neither us nor the other Championship clubs made this decision but there is nothing we can do about it now .

Glad to hear it, absolutley crazy decision

Or maybe London have jumped in seeing as they are desperate for players. Or maybe as someone mentioned the gun has been jumped

Care to explain why you think this? I think we are certainly stronger than we were last season, whether we are as strong as other teams is debatable though. Im quietly confident we will do ok this season. I have to be, I have £50 riding on it.

sheffield weaker please explain ? Fev weaker please explain ? Halifax weaker ?Batley Strengthened ? Please please explain ??
Sheffield added another big Menzie Yere type centre and a good prop in jones in with little change elsewhere to a championship winning side.
Featherstone offloaded finn and added 3 of Batleys top performers Flanagan, Moore & Hirst as well as Nicholson who is a very good prop from York who was devastating last season in a poor side......also they have added a big tongan centre who played NRL as well as some pretty good young prospects from Leeds and Warrington and also sam smeaton to return after missing all last season....They have added more size, power and pace so I wouldn't say they were weaker


Halifax....again they have added a couple more of batley's better players whilst replacing the ashall's....johnson and brown will add something in the halves and also and cowling from wakefield will add to their lacklustre centre partnership...so weakened nah...
Batley.....losing 9 of their better players and replacing with mainly mediocre alternatives does not give me much hope so I dont know where your expectations come from ? I wish I had your enthusiasm for 2014 but I do not. Scott from York is a good addition to replace walmsley but the rest of the replacements dont cut it for me and mid table mediocrity for me this season i think whilst causing the odd upset here and there.
Now to Leigh.....i believe you have recruited very well and will be competing in the top 1-3 but to think that the usual suspects are going to be 'weaker' is a bit naive......and dont forget to win a grand final you have to win a play off game !!

You could have saved typing all that and just put your last line. Other teams strengths matter not when we can't win a play off game.

maybe......but i was trying to understand how all the top clubs were now weaker and decided to justify my questioning of this with some facts.....sorry i didnt realise there was a limit on post detail lol

Dont write Fev off......the nrl centre looks good and Hirst is a superb signing for them - add a top returning centre in Smeaton and you`ve got a good team.
Telling factor will be if the HB`s are as good without Finn.

Don't worry Quinny, I reckon you make a valid point with a very good post backed up with detail and reasoning rather than assumption

Sorry forgot the lol. Was a joke. By the way nothing wrong with the detail.
