"US" as in wakefield I assume?
The real litmus test would have been increasing SL to 14 sides this year, but the loss of £250,000 of the £1,800,000 would cripple clubs like you and Salford because rather than build support, you have your greedy little hands out and will spend on survival (again) rather than growth.
I'd be happy to take a Punt on Toronto or Toulouse instead of Wakefield......if you're such a strong part of the community, you'll survive, but having your hands out for Sky cash and hoping for a "charity built" stadium are just dragging the sport backwards.

I include my club in this as well. London beating Toronto at the weekend will be brilliant as a fan, but a friggin' disaster for SL.

Still, well done Wakefield on surviving again....Leeds being in free fall bailed you and Huddersfield out of a tight spot
well if survival is finishing 5th for the second time in a row then yes I'll except that now for next season, proof is in the pudding having three players in the dream team means we are going in the right direction,

oh and good luck with game at the weekend I'll be rooting for you but you do realise you will be favourites for the drop next season as you have no pedigree and you'll plummet like a stone unlike us who know how to tread water and have mastered the art of survival

as for talking about grounds please do tell us when you tend to stay put :D

Leigh are being liquidated and will be lucky to make it to the start of next season, let alone stay up with the inevitable points deduction.


Have you got a source for that please?

No, the players have been told that the club will be liquidated and all contracts will be void. Presumably a measure from Beaumont to try and cover his back and clear debts. He's also no longer paying the players despite saying he would, which is why they could only field 13 on Sunday (and they all played for free).


You may want to look up the difference between liquidation and administration. As a pointer the 'old' Bradford club that disappeared in 2016 was only liquidated in April of this year. Liquidation is very terminal.

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Yes I know what the difference is, they aren't going into administration, the plan as it stands is for Beaumont to liquidate the club.

I doubt he is but hardly the actions of a man who is supposed to love the Club. If he did that it's extremely unlikely there will ever be another (pro) Leigh club.

Do you mean he wasn't suffering at Dewsbury, like the rest of us then? I hope someone was there, in an 'official capacity' to represent our club!

Is a challenge from Bradford or York likely to materialise? Are they recruiting or going with much the same as this year?


We've signed Jake Webster which is an unbelievable signing IMO. Also signed a winger from Hunslet who i can't see playing much and Jon Margrin from Sheffield. Rumoured with Brad Dwyer and Sam Hopkins. Suspect a few championship clubs will also ne waiting to see of Toronto earn promotion and pick up some players they release. We're a very young squad so hopefully can grow as a team. A few more young players breaking through too. York i think will go well too next year.

But we have to beat Workington first which is one hell of a tough task.

On Leigh, i hope they sort it, christ knows we know how it feels. Dire situation at the moment though.

Truly appreciate the words of support BM. :thumb: I've been taking a lot of notice of what Bulls fans are saying, as you've all "been there, done that, got the t-shirt etc!"

We have no idea how dire our situation is. Since the owner's multi-page statement, a few months ago, literally nothing has been said by the club. All we've had from them is the odd squad announcement (nearly always wrong) and match report. (containing further 'inaccuracies') Having been part of a team that built up our communications from virtually zero, to something pretty enviable, a few seasons ago, that, frankly, incenses me! If they are hell-bent on making the situation worse, by alienating a reasonable support base, they are certainly going about that, the right way!

Here's hoping we can renew our 'hostilities' with you guys next season. (ON the pitch, that is, and not in the boardroom! :wink: )
