Think it is a bit arrogant too say the current squad is good enough for next year!! When we get up if we want too stay up we will have too be ruthless and get a lot more class in the team. Players like goulden penky haggerty are all good solid dependable players but I don't think are capable of the step up Week in week put! Think we would need about 5 players too come in!! We do have a very good squad but let's not be blinkered we nee too make a big step up!!

Imo Goulden, platt, aspinwall, pitmaN and of course maden will leave, with the youngsters going out on loan again, 4 or 5 sl class players in

Aspinwalls contract runs out this November,cant see itbeing renewed with amoun of cover we have.

Anybody who thinks this squad capable of maintaining SL is seriously deluded. As pinball will go, far to many injuries, which I know is part of the game, but it's a fact. What about bate/bullock for next year, they hopefully will be better for their experiences with barrow

Anybody who thinks Bate and Bullock after a spell at Barrow will be good enough to play Super League is seriously deluded. With all due respect to both players, they aren't the answer should we get promotion. We need to be thinking, and I've no doubt that we are, WAY higher than that.

Agreed, to compete (should we gain promotion) in SL we would need about 8 top quality signings.

I dont think we would need 8.Thats just totally underestimating the team as it stands..We need to be looking at the top 8 of SL next season and strengthen were needed.

You're underestimating how much of a step up it is from the championship. It's like going up from the football conference to the premiership in a year.

Not comparing like with like imo.

Didn't Burton Albion draw with Man U a couple of seasons ago ?

I was there in 2005,big difference in both club and the team we have this time round..

if you read my post again, i did not say they would be ready for sl, i said they would be better for their time with barrow.

It depends on which Super League we're talking about, SL has been split in two for years now between the top 6 or so clubs and the rest, there's a bigger gap between the top & bottom of SL than the bottom of SL and The top of the Championship. I think this team we have is good enough to get into SL & good enough to stay up, agreed we'll need more players if we're aiming for the top 8 but we can build to that over a few years.

Just for information, if Leigh don't get promoted (which I highly doubt you won't) Ryan Brierley has signed for Leeds Rhinos.

And the proof is where?

I doubt I'd reveal my source, but it's probably the most accurate source you can get. However, I'll give you a clue, look at the tweet his agent posted 24 hours ago.

Not saying you'd wrong mate! But would it make a difference if we went up or not? Leeds are a bigger team than us anyway!!

Assume there would be a transfer fee. And if his agent has been in talks with another club, then that should be after getting Leigh's permission.

Dont know who his agent is and dont care, he is a contracted player at Leigh Centurions bring a very large cheque book would be my reply.

We have had these rumours for three years now, water off a ducks back. If he goes he goes if he stays he stays, but a tweet is hardly proof.

A certain Dr who owns a SL club has 'tweeted' many a thing re Ryan, he's still here though.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Don't really see what people get from making up romours but why anyone would just keep on repeating the same old nonsense month after month year after year is completely beyond me.

Jealousy. Boredom. Deranged.

Take your pick.

Probably worried they'll get us out of the bag in the next CC draw..

Leigh will get in SL next season and will be the only team from the Champ to do that in my opinion. Leigh will finish above Wakey in the middle 8 but I still reckon it will come down to 4th vs 5th and a playoff simply because the other 3 teams that finish in the bottom 4 in SL are still too good for the top 4 of the champ. Then I think if you keep the stand out players from your team and add in about 6 or 7 players who can be good in SL you could possibly avoid the bottom 4. The main problem is theres about another 6 or so teams who are also chasing the same players so they can break out of that group that Leigh might be in and they have been trying to do it for years.

I didn't know Dr Who watched RL

,which SL club does he own?

I would say your only basing your opinion on whats on paper or performances as it stands. Still along way to go..As a SL team facing the middle 8's your fighting for survival in SL..

Unlike the 3 teams you dismiss who are striving for SL..I would'nt count my chickens on being so one sided as you put it..
