The majority on here only want to see the proof that backs your claim up.No proof,no claim..End of.

It's interesting to read your comments.

The celebrities should be on the pitch - those are what brings the fans into the ground.
It seems that Derek like to boost his ego - who on earth would throw a grand behind the bar for the lads? Perhaps someone who needs to buy their affection maybe.
Wonder if McManus or Lenegan has had to do this with their players.

Rangi Chase signed long after Leigh played Warrington in the cup. Fact !

Proof?

Oh come on, you should know me better than that ! I only ever post facts ! You should try it.

So just to clarify , the timeline facts are (as kindly provided by Cokey)

Warrington Cup Game - June 2015
Rangi Chase signing for Leigh - November 2015.

Some of the poop spouted on here is absolutely mind boggling.

I agree with the above - I misread it at first thinking you meant chase was signed just after the Warrington game.

Careful Mr chairman, you'll get more enemies on here if you keep shouting FACTS!

Here's a "fact" for you. Leigh Centurions head coach Paul Rowley said: “Rangi has undoubted class that I am sure will flourish within our team. I will look forward to challenging Rangi in different roles to ensure we bring the best out of him and that the team benefits from his presence.” Read more at: www.leighobserver.co.uk/sport/le ... -1-7589496 Doesn't sound like someone who never wanted Rangi Chase.

Posting completely out of context and stretching the truth is not the same as actually posting facts is it?

Derek choosing to once reward the players wives and children for sacrificing their precious family time with a small gesture of a post match bar tab on the LSV complex does not sound quite as dramatic as 'throwing a grand behind a bar for the lads' does it ?

Rowley did not want chase at all ...it was degsey who did ..lets hope degsey picks a better team this weekend eh

We should let Harold Rigby Jnr pick the team for the Salford game, cmon Harold who are ya 17 players?

Even when presented with the facts, you still carry on.

Will thee listen ...ROWLEY DID NOT WANT CHASE

Then why did he say he did?

Probably because he worked still for leigh ...begining of the end ..to much interference

I include Leigh East as being on the LSV complex post match. To be honest however, I must say I am unsure as to what you and 'Peter' are trying to achieve. At the end of the day we are where I want Leigh RLFC to be today and that's competing in the very highest echelon of Rugby League.

You don't need to, as you say you are the one with your ears to the ground of the Rugby League fraternity - I will have to bow down to your superior knowledge.

The facts (press quotes, interviews on GMR )state otherwise however its largely irrelevant as since then Paul decided to walk out on Leigh at a critical time and has now found a job with another club and Leigh went on to get promoted to SL so all parties happy.

Well, yah, we won almost all the time. It was time for a challenge. Much more exciting in SL even if the results aren't always the one's we would like. Are you always happier a level down?

Or do you only like to drag things down?

Seriously, what is your problem ??

Why create arguments out of such irrelevant issues, you say you don't have a problem with the current establishment- but whatever it is you just can't let it go can you

ARE THERE ANY MODS ON HERE, BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOUT 3 DISCUSSIONS THAT NOW NEED LOCKING DUE TO THIS GUY
