It has been announced by the Club that Leigh Centurions are to partner Sheffield Eagles on a DR agreement for the 2017 season, I agree with Jukesy and Derek that it will benefit both Clubs, as we have a fair sized squad this year and give the players not involved in the particular match at least some game time, I know a few fans don't like the DR system but I do .

Good option for us this year,would prefer an A team myself

Not sure how the players being allowed to train with the Eagles benefits their game with us. I can only see that being specific players.Only benefit I see is if required they are on hand.Still not sure about that training side of it though.

Sheffield have gone part time so players wont spend that much time training there

That should give angelic cynic something to moan about.

Indeed Glow !!

Has either of you troublemakers PMd him yet

I'm still banned off Sheffield forum from two seasons ago when I made a little quip about the taxi to Leigh being booked up so I'm thrilled to be helping them out

Where's the fun in that?



In fairness over on their board they seem to accept that this arrangement should benefit both clubs, and AC has been quite complimentary.

Who, me ?? Wouldn't dream of it !!!

This arrangement may have been long in the planning but I would have thought Bradford a better option.
Without knowing when this went from discussions to agreements in relation to Bradfords recent troubles, it would be hard to say if Bradford could have been an option.
Bradford are geographically closer & pre implosion a better squad with a reputable youth set up.

Of course any deal with Bulls could also have gone completely T!T$ Up !!!

Couldn't agree more Ste, I think that seagulls carry as much risk as Bulls to be honest, but I've never been a fan of Aston and don't think that I ever will be

I know, I had to have a sit down after I had read ACs comments.
