  1. Is that Leeds? If so he has bags of potential but needs game time - he won’t get it at either Leigh or Leeds in 2023 so will be reserves or loan. I would have kept him at Leigh
  2. 2013 tickets to Tonga v Cook Islands at LSV where £10 or less I think - place packed to rafters 2022 good seats are £66 next weekend - probably get good fill in the £20 sections but it will be empty down the sides The 'Novelty' fixtures are too high a price at group stage - we will be looking at a few 3/4000's imo at stadiums with multiple 'novelty' fixtures
  3. Not many light skinned north of the equator though
  4. Heavily rumoured Mulhern and Hughes will be announced at Leigh very soon - players and staff on post season extended mad Monday at present in Ibiza.
  5. Williams looked like he knew what was expected of him (confidence) and wanted to play for Wane v Fiji, I cant see how you change that Right side. With Viktor at 13 he will run with 1 hooker - Ackers for me - and Hill did enough to get a grunt spot and has the size that will be needed
  6. My tongue in cheek post that you didnt get at all was rebranding as 'Leigh Winos' from Centurions
  7. Always liked the “Leigh Winos” chant, should be able to get a good brewery on board for that one
  8. All those were once part of Leigh Borough, and the reason our record crowd is 32000
  9. No, none whatsoever. After we got rid of the Bears name I think you had to have one at the start of the SL era, and some bright spark went with Centurions as it was 100 years since the breakaway and we were a founder. Personally hate it, but kids seem to like it
  10. The BIG issue will be the criteria used to conclude who the strongest clubs are. Obvious and even ones will be Stadium - capacity, facilities and corporate Financials - Turnover, profit, historic debt, cash in bank, sustainability Crowds - Historic based upon division, potential based upon RL culture, populus, junior clubs/school participation Results - what has the club won in the past x years, does winning the Championship count as much as winning SL, as that was the comp some clubs were in? It will be difficult to compare Academy due to some clubs being refused licences, eg if Oldham/Halifax had run a FT Academy for the past 20 years would it have been better than Huddersfield or Bradford or Cas etc Do you say these are the Junior clubs under the umbrella of the senior club and how many kids from these are in the current Academy structures? Interesting times ahead!!
  11. Harry, within a few miles of Leyth you have about 130k folk living in Leyth, Bent, Bongs, Gowburn/Lowtun, Glazebury, Culcheth and Astley - all have which have historical ties to the owd Borough of L,BnB. Then add in Cawyeds plus Bowtun and thats enough to fill LSV with a winning team every week
  12. Personal wealth?? Great thing with Derek is that his business is current and making £3m plus pa in profits, assets do not pay bills. Cant comment on the other guys who have joined the ride, believe its £billions though
  13. What are the top 5 attendances when folk paid proper ticket prices to get in - Thats 2 x TW and 1 X TO out the way, so HKR v Salford? and Wakey v Bulls by a couple of dozen but certainly contained 3k Bulls fans min
  14. Many clubs dont average 7500+ - which would have been the true attendance incl corporate/sponsors. 6600 was Leighs SL average in 2017, hope we beat that in 2023 despite the economic reality
  15. Who pays them ?? You earn the right to dress as you please ps Degsy has worse shirts than any of the other 3 but wish he had their wealth.
  16. Thats the Penrith region - What was the old Leigh Borough has around 140k folk in it now.
  17. He didn't as next years Champ squad would have been even stronger if not promoted
  18. That certainly wasn't Leigh this time - 5 year financed plan about to start Y2, should we be in SL for Y3 then the real fun begins
  19. The work you dont see is about not making it a small town - the players have done many coaching sessions outside the Town. Leyth, Bent, Bongs n Burn have well over 100k folk and there has been plenty work done in Bowton and Howton again.
  20. Didnt look like John Wayne after 3 months cattle herding did he?? I ask because they had just done the bike Ride for the kids charity which raised £24k, and thank you Broncos for contributing to that figure btw, a figure that Derek agreed to match so £48k has been sent to life 4 a kid.
