We still have the wages for Joe Williams to spend.

Thought we'd spent those on Hemingway

Flying a proven NRL half back and his family half way around the world, giving him a house and car, paying his utility bills and his contract money................Hemmingway must be on a fair wedge, especially as we are only paying a percentage of his Giants contract.

Would that be the Duggan on crutches with his leg in a cast that was on B n A last night

Probably still do better than some of the current squad on on leg.

Well theres 13 more like him still being picked

Won't get visas if we go for them!

Wasn't them who ignored the e mail it was the headcoach at the time.

Paul Rowley at the LISA meeting last month said that Williams was being sponsored by 'outsde funding' that isnt available for anyone else, now unless Mr Thomas said otherwise last night at the LISA meeting then???

Mr Thomas confirmed the hunt for Williams is dead and also stated that had he come across the likelihood of him playing for Huddersfield or Wakefield next yea was extremely high as both of those teams apparently tried to get him last year.

Seems most teams are getting in loan signings for the remainder of the season to either increase their chances for the playoffs or indeed the relegation fight at the bottom of the table.



Except leigh of course.We dont need any help

We are asking about loan players on a weekly basis...but no joy, so much for "special arrangements"

Maybe the special arrangements are to arrange nothing........

Believe me, I've heard of three names that would really boost the squad, 3 from Wigan that Leigh have enquired about at least six times only to be knocked back.

Of course the cynical of you out there will probably say yeah I bet one was Gareth Hock, but we are talking fringe first team players that would boost any team in the Championship.

'Special arrangements' with SL clubs all appear to be one way and its not 'downwards'

Seems Widnes and Fax just have to click their fingers and get whoever they want on loan and it wouldn't surprise me in the least for Gateshead to announce new signings just in time for the critical run in.

Get ready for some surprising results over the next few weeks, they started the other week with the top two being beaten by our relegation rivals. Just a coincidence I know, but I wonder if there will be any other coincidences. [size=25I go for Gateshead to surprise Widnes[/size

Have I missed something but which NL clubs in the last 3 weeks have signed any SL loan players?

Two obvious ones, Leigh to win at Barrow, and beat Halifax at home!

(oh, and one other, Doncaster to win at Leigh!!!)

Halifax and widnes

As mentioned on previous posts, await the other teams signing up loan players to increase their strength and we sit and nurse our injurys.

Some frightening times ahead

If they won't come to Leigh though for whatever reason then they won't come.

We won't have much space to move under the salary cap anyway.

The Joe Williams money was from an external source that is now not available.

hope we can pull off some SUPRISE wins then

But the Williams money must have been salary cap related surely





And one external source closing maybe, but another one has been opened by the Corporate club thingy. Some money must be there surely.

If players won't come then fair enough, but the logic of your comments above don't stack up

To be fair though Col, the club said it needed gates around 2500 this year and that hasn't happened so despite this new corporate club coming into existence there has been a deficit.

The club is also watched like a hawk after it went over the cap and was fined in 2007. So I can understand them not going mad with any potential space under the cap.

I do know that the club are trying to bring players in and the deadline for signings is next Friday.

I thought in the championship that, players signed from a teams acadamy/reserves too the full squad, didnt count on the SC?
