Didn't the Official Toronto account state that it was a fake account too. Not managed (or tried) to shut it down though have they.

As you say not managed to shut it down. They also link to it on the official twitter. So it is officially fake but unofficially, who knows?

I do apologise for talking bo77ocks then. My point was that the club already seem to have moved to bring in replacements as there is a doubt as to how much stomach these players will have for the fight ahead.

Fair point. Personally, I wouldn't like to see Worthington dropped, even if he is moving on. He's been our best centre this year, since moving to left side.

And there's no questioning his commitment - he gives nothing less than 100%, every game. Maybe it's all down to how these players conduct themselves, after they've signed? Although they will have to learn quickly, how to conduct themselves - after all, they are joining a club with very high moral and ethical values!

This what i was saying last week before everyone slagged me off.
Also hearing Liam has been suspended
Smoke and mirrors

Wouldn't have thought it was standard protocol to advertise oneself for another club whilst still under contract.

Ironically, it would not be for the first time in his Leigh career either.

It is an important time. We need everyone fully focused or they may as well not be around.

There seems to be so much concern about what PR and Toronto are doing and who is taking the Canadian Dollar? Personally I don't care, we are Lucky to have a guy like Derek in charge who will just replace them with better players ,which in most cases he has already done, have we missed the likes of Beswick,Emmitt, Pownall,and co, a resounding NO,will we miss Kay,Dixon, and Worthington if he goes ,again a resounding NO,we will move on ,progress , develope, and improve,nobody can stop the Centurions Juggernaut,let the Toronto Train move on,when they arrive we could be separated by 2 divisions,I'm more concerned about what is happening now, when we can attract guys like Tickle, Dawson, Maria,and Mitch Brown,added to the quality squad we already have,I for one won't miss the Toronto bound players, they would struggle to get into our team anyway.Bon Voyage is my message.

Absolutely Charlie ! Exciting times for Leigh RL.

In addition to Charlie's post, Richard Whiting has been solid , but if we are all honest he hasn't actually set the championship on fire.

He is coming to the end of his career but will still be a good signing for any League 1 side for 12 months. So Toronto will get some mileage out of him.

My concern was having them on the field come the 8's. Those questions have been more than answered.Bring it on.
