The partner clubs will be in for a treat in 2015, Pie Minister

Gee they must have upgraded Norley Hall and Worsley Mesnes a lot recently.

I certainly hope so Maurice would be good to see the big fella mucking in with the community clubs.

My players are that bit older but you only had look at the Tonga game last year to see how it got all the age groups buzzing.

You should be pushing at least 6-7000 fans for his debut game ?

Only trouble with that Enid Blyton tale John, its Paul that picks the players. Derek then makes it happen and delivers!!

' A given '? ,I'd say an opportunity ,not to be missed

Yes, but enjoyed the event rather than analysed indifidual performances, I sincerely hope he rids himself of his need to be the pantomime villain , he has undoubted skill

Although I myself am NOT a Wiganer , but a Born and Bred Leyther , I have plenty of In - Laws who originate from Worsley Mesnes , the place is OK now , even the Crooked Wheel is no more .

So the thug in your opinion needs to rid himself of the pantomime villain tag.


Whilst the manager awards the best forward in this league a 5 year deal.....

It's like chalk and cheese those comments....

Charlie having worked over there for 10 years in my old job, there is not anyone who can convince me that the two places I have mentioned are better than anywhere else in the borough, and I also have relatives in both places.

Its called opinions, I prefer my RL players to concentrate on RL, when they do that, they tend to become better players, what Paul does or doesnt do is irrelivant as far as I see it, I'd suggest if Mr Barlow ever wants to play SL and be considered a good SL player he follows Chris Hills example

Different players Steve, nobody once 6 forwards of the same nature..

Yes different players, one has just missed out on MOS and played in a 4 nations, the other has a lot still to learn

Anyway this thread drift is boring me, so I'll comment no further

I haven't been wrong thus far have I Steve.

In the interview I recorded for LC TV it is Paul Rowley who says it was he who first inquired about Fui Fui, Derek Beaumont says that his youngest son Rocky is a fan after seeing him play at the LSV last year.
Ask Neil Barker when how and where he got the info from re Leigh signing Fui Fui and you will see your timing is way off the mark as to when Salford dropped interest in Fui Fui.
All irrelevant anyway we got our man we had been after some months end of story.

Yes you have but the last was the most rediculous by far so i had my 2 pennys worth as well.

Your owner and coach are running scared of Leigh, not keen on losing to a lower league team a in pre season friendly to burst Mr Koucash's 2015 bubble......

A decent signing but be careful not to build him up into something he was a few years ago. He will be 36 next year and it will have then been two years since Nobby said that. He has had two poor seasons down under so I suspect he is coming over here to earn a nice little pension in his last year. Please, I am not having a dig here but simply looking at it as a nice signing for one year and adds a bit of fun for supporters anticipating something new. If he is on about £120k would you rather have him or would you rather spend that on a mid-twenties player who is about to make a big name of himself who can give you 8-10 years and still be there when you get promotion?
Still a decent signing though for the 7 months he will be here.

And the winner of the most contradictory post of the year goes to......

People making alot about his age here. Think Leeds and Salford fans should be worried looking at their forwards some of whom are even older than FF

Steve Menzies (39), Jamie Peacock ( 37),Kylie Leuluai (37),Adrian Morley (3icon_cool.gif
Ages the players will be during the up and coming season or in Menzies case the age he was when he played his last game.

All played consistently well in SL without a doubt while being 35 or 36 - fact

Fui currently 35 will be 36 at the back end of the season(end of September)

It's not about age sometimes, it's about attitude, application and desire.

If Fui has this, and everything I have seen and know of him he undoubtedly has, he will rip our division apart and go on to help us achieve our dream to play in SL which I hope he stays for the journey.

cracking signing for you guys. massive name in RL. my only worry for you is that it turns into a Willie Mason signing like we had at Rovers. hopefully not though. packed out stands with big afro wigs is the way forward

Good points there, as the south sea islanders are known to like there grub, you only have to look at Feka to see what he has had to do to be taken seriously in his career.

Moi Moi's Age wont be a factor unless, as you say, he can stay focused and stay off the lobbies and full pigs

I just can't see anyone from the championship making it to Super League.

He is coming over for a pay packet and to eat some Wigan pies. The guy is past it and not got the Peacock mindset. He will not get in your team because will be the new fat Feka.

Thank you for your in-depth and insightful contribution......
