Hang on a mo Cokey, Mr Beaumont wants Leigh to remain in SL this coming term and if the SL council do not let him do so, he is going to take legal advise as to whether it is worth challenging in a court of law, he told that to anyone on Radio Manchester last Sunday who cared to listen, let's for one minute imagine he gets his way and we remain in SL who at this stage of the season are we going to recruit to play in SL, as sorry as a lot of our performances were this season I will point you in the direction of Bachman Turner Overdrive and their song " You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" it would be catastrophic.



Dont think thats quite the tune ! but know what you are getting at

A look at last weeks champ fixtures found just about all teams involved had at least 1 ex leyther in its ranks.
Do we expect to be full time next year hopefully, probably.How many other full time squads will we see 1 maybe 2.
Most full time players must come from SL who I believe will have smaller squads just down to finances.Pies are 8 million in debt and not all of that is soft debt to owners, ie they have to repay some of it next year.Will they have cheap young squad replacements.Saints face having to pay maturing stars the going rate some have gone, going.Have said before Wire seem to have the brightest accountants so may be less effected.
Within all of that must be some players becoming available who want to stay full time where will they go we have to pick the right ones with value for money..
Tough job innit but it does not mean that we should be in a flat panic.The possibility of SL teams having to run reserves is a concern given pool of players.Dont see that working.
Need to get our management appointed maybe they are persons still in work.
Maybe we have seen the best of RL Harry its certainly as tough a time at the moment as we have seen when trying to predict the future of the game.

Would it not be easier just to put down the players that have signed ?

There are LOTS of players signed up but cannot be announced yet for obvious reasons and there is a few twists and turns yet.

If 2x10 in 2022, this season with a Parachute Payment might not be a bad season to go Down. After all, they voted to keep P&R, so next season should be no different, so 3 down it is !!!

Snowy, You say ‘There are LOTS of players signed up but cannot be announced yet for obvious reasons’

Please could you tell us the obvious reasons?

As always mate, I have zero inside knowledge which might/might not be a good thing so I just don't know past what D.B has openly stated. In fact maybe you & others could pass an eye over these highly contentious rumours ?

1. A now retired ex Leigh player punched John Duffy *allegedly*
2. 2 now retired ex Leigh players were refusing to play *allegedly*
3. Neil Jukes is unofficially responsible for recruitment of playing squad with direct input from the owner *allegedly* , important to stress that I have nothing against the owner.
4. D.B was refusing to pay the return air fare of one of our Aussie imports *allegedly Brendan Elliot* & that the team *allegedly* had threatened the club/owner with a strike & refusal to take the field at Magic Weekend if not resolved. !
5. D.B has suggested that he will consult with his lawyers over the possibility of sueing S.L/RFL which is Fact, however I read (probably on this site) that a member S.L Club cannot sue other S.L Clubs/the RFL as a condition of membership *allegedly* , I would think that in itself could be legally challenged !
6. D.B offered Shaun Wane £250k to see out the season at Leigh *when Duffy resigned* but Wane declined due to his England commitments & a possible return to Wigan as D.O.R !

All of these are rumours I have seen or heard either here on this site, from a guest in an Executive box, or on the terrace etc & all AFAIK have varying degrees of truth or absurdity !

Interested to have any of these *rumours* put to bed but equally if any have real substance could point to why Leigh is such a troubled club recently.



A relative of Sean Wane told a sponsor Leigh had offered him a huge sum for 2022/3/4 a figure Wigan told him they could not match - that gives me hope that at last DB knows what we need
