The club are doing nothing different to what the governing body is doing. Do you have any updates from the RFL pertaining to the whole of the game?'"
I do not nor have ever engaged in conspiracy theories in that certain things have/are purposefully engineered to cause maximum inpact, whatever the subject matter.
BUT, I do think that circumstances can develop that would/could change the direction of initial intentions, in this case I refer to Mr Elstone's SL mandate that this season would be the last that would employ the 8's structure.
The Chairmen, the club's, the fan's et al were promised (by SL - through Mr Elstone) an announcement would be made to clarify and advise the position and the next stage of the proceedure, being that announcement has not been forthcoming for which I believe the hesitation in delivering the information has been the result of the make-up of the club's involved in the Qualifying 8's category, clubs who may or may not be part of the ongoing and future plan's the SL envisage, I do think there will be a further period of silence until next years roster of SL clubs will be known.
In Leigh's case as already alluded to on these pages, who is going to invest in something that they do not know what they are investing in, that would be pure folly. The club may already have alternative plan's whichever the path the authorities take the game along, but in the best interests of all concerned are not at liberty to disclose anything.
It is totally frustrating for all of us with concerns for our clubs future propects, but it is totally understandable to me why there is a lack of information in this direction, but also it is inexcusable that peripheral announcements such as employee's leaving the club are concerned have been withheld.
