Leigh changing their name? Bored journo doing a rumour?

[sweaty craiq]

Just dropping 'Centurions' and reverting back to 'Leigh RLFC - Proud founders of the Northern Union' as I understand it. Will always be known as 'The Leythers' though in the same way as Wigan will always be known as 'The Humbles'

Is the Twitter post not just some tenuous link between who Leigh are signing and where they’ve come from?

Leigh Toasters.

My 1990 Rothmans, which gives Keighley the nickname of Lawkholmers, doesn't have one at all for Leigh.
