I don't see why, the budget we have to work with doesn't really change but I wouldn't want Long or Morley and I doubt they'd want to come either.



It's the day to day running costs of the club that are the real issue I think and most of that can be brought back to the fact that we dont own the ground and miss out on a hell of a lot of revenue that was produced through the Mick Martyn Bar etc on match days. The council charges of rent must be absolutely crippling us.

Sorry to see him go and surprised he didnt get picked up before now. Good luck!

I'm gutted to hear of Chris going, but it was always going to happen. I wish him well, as he deserves a chance to shine at the top level - as I'm sure he will. And like all others, would love to see him in the international squad soon - and back with us when we're in SL ourselves.



On another note, if he HAD signed for another year, was the board astute enough to negotiate some compo on top of contract buyout?

I think he would have still been in contract for next year as he signed one at the begining of this season.

Contracts mean jack these days anyway.

All the best chris you deserve your chance and i have no doubt you will succeed.The two year contract you have signed will just fit in nicely for a return to Leigh in super league

Hill was our player of the season last year in my opinion, no matter whether we're 40 points ahead or 40 points behind Chris Hill always gives 100% and will be a big loss, but glad to see him get a chance at Super League, and at Warrington as well.

Top player Top Bloke ...Will be a sensation playing with the best team in SL

im gutted that hes gone but for me he couldnt ov gone to a better club

You got a fee for him and then back on dual reg till end of season so I would say they did well!!

Dual reg? Is this true, or just something that you've plucked from your own backside?

Load of bollox

Why didn’t I just put that on the Wire forum.
