[uI'll go with this 100%[/u. Good chance that we could arrest the decline in crowds next season and build them back up, not just on the idea fans didn't get to go this year but the idea that the game has modernised through the end of scrums. I thought that was a great success although I don't know if we will carry on next year with no scrums - do you?

And yes with the number of clubs who said they could be a great assett to Superleague 2021 they will have the chance to show it next year as AFAIK new TV deal or not there will be P & R.......

Might not happen as quickly as you think.

no I think there will be a couple crapping themselves I think Leeds was unlucky to be where they were and had a lucky cup win, they are due a poor season as they have lately hit one miss one hit one, you never know you might just pass each other next year

Steph will have to buy himself a larger butt plug.

We know of a DECCA used to make records, we know of a Degsy the nickname for a Derek but we don't know of any Dekka or players who had their contracts cancelled !

Please pay more attention in class !!!

Derek Beaumont explains the contract situation of 2018 very well (yet again) in his interview with Matthew Shaw on Facebook.

Me too, it's a great rivalry, fiercely fought on the field with friendly rivalry & banter between fans in the stands, both sets of fans will miss it.

Have you seen your squad? It’s easily the worst SL squad of all time. It’s full of amateur players

Your a Gent thanks very much for that

BTW Don't take the bait above, suffice to say none of those players are "Amateur".......

Only thing worse than having a team of so called amateurs is having a team of over paid underperforming guys who can’t wait to get to end there contracts and go back home rich lol

Agreed, however the first team of players to do this had their contracts cut short and pleaded poverty.

The second team of players who signed to do this had their contracts null and void before a ball was kicked.........

It was called "expansion"

What purpose do you serve?

His purpose is trolling & wum, and gets away with it. If no one responded to him, he would be constantly talking to himself. Would he get fed up of it? Probably not.

Steph, take us to your porpoise!

Ps: Sorry Cokey.

Why is it trolling? My opinion is that the current Leigh squad is the worst in SL history. If you don’t agree, give me an alternative instead of spitting your dummy out and yelling about it. Engage in debate rather than having a cheap pop at me

There was a London side (2014?) that only picked up 1 win/2 points.

I expect Leigh will do better than that. I think they may even give Hull KR a contest at the bottom, based on what I saw of KR last season (although I don't know the quality of their recruitment except for Luis Johnson, the lad brought in from Wire).

Okay, I'll respond. A championship club signs players for their 2021 season in the championship....hardly going to full of 'State of Origin' players is it ?
Leigh have only been a Super League club for 5 days. Poor effort that Steph.

Of course they will do a lot better than that you are right, but nobody serious is suggesting Leigh won't be competitive, it's just the usual wind up merchants.

Responding is just what they want

I'd argue that Leigh's own squad of 2005 was worse than their current one? So not the worst of all time. Can't believe I'm even replying to this but:

Worst SL Teams: Workington (1996), Huddersfield (1998, 2000), Halifax (2003), Crusaders (2009, 2011), Widnes (2012, 201icon_cool.gif, London (2013, 2014), Bradford (2014), Wakefield (2015).

Leigh have a better squad than all of those sides. So nowhere near the worst in SL. They'll give a few clubs a run for their money next season as well. They arguably have a better squad now than in 2017.

In fairness, Davids, Leigh only got two wins in 2005 (? - the years merge). Hoping to make a fine fist of it this time (was much better last time out too).

If, when the proverbial pudding has been eaten, that hope is proven, Steph and his/her imaginary Matey Alma (Winwick Academy alumnus also?) will only have umble pie and their words to eat.

Unless Bart demands that his shorts be similarly ingested.



Dangit. I remember that I've still got a curried tea-cosy to eat. A gentleman'sh word ish hish Bond.

Screenshot !!!

Got in before me, Bulls Boy, apologies

Well you gave a great reply to others, who may have wondered if the rubbish planted was really an honest opinion. You didn't reply direct.

And a draw..........

Two more wins than London Broncos arguably....

Broncos lost 26 of 27 games in 2014....

They shipped in a whopping 1,237 points

Their game against Leeds was the week before Leeds were in the cup final so they played a makeshift team and saved the stars for the cup final.....

Broncos didn't beat a single first choice Supeleague side so there's no question of fairness here the proposal was clearly just to wind up Leigh fans
