Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Leigh signing Tongan players, why aren’t they signing players from Leigh? (Yes this is tongue in cheek to the “why aren’t they signing French players” comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the opportunity to sign lads to play in your academy would have been wonderful, but the powers that be deemed Leigh could not have one even though clubs 7, 10 and 13 miles away can, now tell me how can that be justified?

Happy to help Is that why we were refused one before Dereck became the owner ? , When it was the highly respected former St Helens Chairman Arthur Thomas ?

Can’t, every pro club should have an academy and reserve side with no opt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs get the same money just not separated for the academy so I was told. So no total loss of funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 This is one of those signings that could be a stroke of genius, which would probably mean he will get snapped up by a Super League club down the line, or he could be a dud who doesn't settle. Presumably he is a cheap enough signing, hence coming to Leigh in the Championship, so is certainly worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowys Backside Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Sio scored quite a few from his passes last year. Can see the Leigh wingers scoring plenty from his cut out passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
