And Behold, a pale horse. And on his back his name was death.

The weekend starts on a Monday.

Thanks for being my Pal Jagger, you're right I've no friends, I'm no fun and I'm just feeling all left out, up to now that is.

Back to topic, Leighs Director of Rugby has a tonne of passion, seems to be putting his money where his mouth is, sounds like he likes a drink and his RL. Doesn't sound too different from a lot of RL fans to me. Derek probably just uses social media more than a lot of other RL Directors and this is his Achilles heel, in conjunction with his passion for Leigh boiling over at times.

Leigh have perhaps gone from a lot of peoples 2nd club to upstarts (and Derek has played his part in both), who people might not shed a tear for if it all goes south, but I bet the fans and players are enjoying the ride. Everybody knows they have a dam good side on their day, and the League didn't lie, they had an awesome season prior to qualifiers.

Cracking post and right on the button.
It doesnt really matter how many fans of other clubs get all high & mighty with what he says,what matters is the gates keep rising and the sponsors keep falling over themselves to be a part of the club.

'Fax fan in Stockport: The jewel in the ring of Manchester

It all smacks of Barrow to me. If he runs that club like he runs his gob then they're in trouble. It's OK being billy big balls but once the ar5e falls out of it all there won't be one helping hand or one song of praise for him. His only epitaph will be: "For four years, he managed to polish a turd".

To be fair he does wear his heart on his sleeve and mouth off, probably much as a lot of us do, the BIG difference is that we are not directors and as such he needs to rein himself in and keep his gob shut. Or calm down and have a bit of decorum.

On the other hand if he runs the club like he does his business then the club will be fine

Nothing like what happened at Barrow,Derek is just an ordinary fan with a bit of cash to spend on one of his passions,IE,Leigh Centurions ,anybody who knows Derek or has been in his company will tell you he says it as he sees it,Leigh have come a long way under his leadership and that of the other BOM it's been a great ride for us Leythers and hopefully will continue.What happened with Desire at Barrow is nowt like what is going on at the LSV, there was some impressive Sponsors there last week and hopefully they will return, the future is bright Rich, believe me, be wary of the wounded Centurion.

Ive shaken my head a few times but in all honesty, apart from that night on twitter "which was completely unacceptable" i have very little problem with anything he has said since he took over the club
