Keith, is the summer move a mistake? Seems results are all over the place depending on who is available due to work/holidays which is more of a problem in Summer imo.
We need a pyramid at Leigh. East/Miners/Golborne/Rep from Rest working closely with LRLFC for the good of RL in the area - we will only grow together.

Watching a NW mens league game at Portico i was told that the portico team were made up mainly of blackbrook players who play in the winter. What is the point of that.

Dont think it will really affect leigh, can only be a good thing if 3/4 fringe super league players from warrington & wigan are playing for leigh like they have done this year. Is there a reserve or academy league for championship clubs next year? If not what are players from the lesser championship clubs going to do if they are not playing because their sides are being flooded with young lads from super league sides? Do they go play for there amateur clubs? Or do they turn there back on playing amateur because there not getting paid?

I think a lot of players from the champ teams will be lost to rl afterall how can it be a level playing field when 1 is f/t and the other as to do a 40/50 hr wk and then fit training and playing in as well, rl is a joke at the moment
