It's been far too long that Leigh have not been with the SL boys. We need them to encourage fans to join the ranks. SL with Wigan, Saints, Salford, Leigh, Widnes and Wire has got to be a better place. These are local rivalries some bigger than others but none the less rivalries. MH playing in the CCQF will bring a lot of interest and hopefully swell the crowd a little. The CCQF will be a great spectacle and it will be great to have Leigh with us in SL next season. Yeah they may have to be the whipping boys for a year (they may not be), but if they survive SL will be better for it.

I am sure Higham will be welcomed back by the fans chants and his ex team mates on the pitch should be a cracking atmosphere.

Great post,thanks .

Good luck to Warrington tonight & for the rest of the league campaign

If we were running scared you'd think Beaumont would have wanted to mention that at the time, he could have tagged it on to the pop at the coaching staff. Instead he thanked Simon Moran for his professional attitude over the transfer.

Leigh played Hock after a similar Agreement and Koukash threatened to sue their backside off, So Why don't Leigh do the same with Higham, or have they gone all professional all of a sudden.

either way its just bravado from Higham....

Leigh played Hock because they signed him as a free agent, they did not sign him from Salford and therefore had no agreement with Salford.

Apparently there was an termination agreement between Hock and Salford that had a clause that said "He could not play for Salford City Reds against Salford Red Devils" Hock has honoured that agreement.

No doubt our legal eagle is looking for similar well written clauses in Higham's agreement.

In my opinion, the "Hock can't play against Salford" affair was a publicity stunt just to raise a bit more interest in the fixture. Kukash appears to be a bit of a fool on first look but the more I hear of him I think he's a clever man who is just trying to raise the profile of the sport.

Rowley was acting like a bellend at the game tonight apparently.

Nothing allegedly about it. He was having a go at Tony Smith during half time. Some choice heated words were spoken. He had to be calmed down by Jack Dearden as he was doing co-commentary on Radio Manchester.

I was impressed with Brad tonight, I'm sure we all were. But let's not get carried away, he's no Micky Higham. He came on against a tiring Salford side. Don't get me wrong he made a statement tonight, but I'll reserve judgement until I see him start a game.

I have to say Smith looked tired, rough and unshaven in the after match interview. Not like him tbh.
