Nope... a dig is using a smart-arris remark to try and belittle. I'm merely pointing out the fact that when you look at the British players (& non-quota counting) in Leigh's squad it's littered with SL basement dwellers, players "past their best" and Championship level players.
Leigh Centurions
1 Aekins
26 Ferguson
16 Chamberlain - Did nothing at Salford and loaned out to London in Championship
23 Inu - Brilliant player but will be almost 36 by start of next season
27 Charnley - Way past his best
7 Mellor - Never good enough to be anything other than a Championship player
30 Lam
8 Sidlow - Steady but unspectacular, almost 35
9 Smith
13 Amone
11 Wardle - Best years behind him
12 Stone
18 Asiata
Substitutes
21 Ipape
24 O'Donnell
10 Ioane
3 Brand - Championship/bottom end SL standard
Now I'm sure a Leigh fan would be able to tell me which non-quota players they've got coming in to replace the outgoing Aussies next year and I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. That squad will need a big overhaul to A) meet SL criteria B) compete.
Will be interesting to see how they go about it with DB & MK and they won't be spending under the cap that's for sure.
