According to League Express, a chairmen's meeting at Haydock last week are proposing a 13 team Superleague next season with Hull KR included and then 14 in 2019. There's even a picture of Ian Lenighan's note book mentioning this and also saying Widnes/Leigh jeopardy whatever that means!!

Imagine a 13 team league wouldn't be just the 12 current teams plus Hull KR. Especially given the position of London and Toulouse.

But also doubtful that anything major will change next season, given no vote till the end of next season.

I agree, whatever happened or happens in the future or at Haydock Park last week I can't see anything changing till the end of the 2018 season, but I think we will survive the middle 8s anyway, because Cokey told me we will.

Cokey knows.

The RFL change the rules all time to suit themselves. I agree with promotion and relegation as you can be the best team all season and still not go up with the current system we got and also be the worse and still stay up all this is for extra games and extra revenue to line their own pockets if the system not broke then don't fix it

The plan also seems to include keeping Bradford in the Championship, with 13 in that division next year and expanding to 14 in 2019.

13 won't work unless they scrap magic weekend and summer bash.

Once we add in Daniel Mortimer (due in before we fly out to Catalan) together with the Imminent arrival of young Langi from Penrith to the squad, then I think we will be staying up regardless of league structure but there you go.

Langi will arrive before Mortimer. Will be interesting to see if he makes the squad for the Catalans game.

Who would be making way for two mid season overseas signings? We have one who has hardly featured, but rest of the non-fed players are first team regulars.

Perhaps Weston, Maybe it’s in both his and the clubs interest that he goes home early?

Or maybe we aren’t signing both?

Or maybe one of them has a European passport?

In other words I have no idea.

I believe it is Weston (along with Tonga) who we are looking at to make way, however I understand he is not of the same opinion as the coach and owner, and wishes to see the season out - be interesting to see how it all pans out

I am of the same opinion as Col

Col and Harold knows, who needs Charlie

I bow to BOTH of you



,these days I know very little,just a mere Leyth fan now.

Having never seen Mortimer or Langi, cannot comment on the individual players. But looking at positions / quota spots balance, think I'd rather have Weston, Ridyard and Langi than Mortimer and Langi.

Weston going early confirmed last game at Cats https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2017/06/2 ... -july-1st/

Quote ="glow"Weston going early confirmed last game at Cats https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2017/06/2 ... -july-1st/'" As expected, however, is the cut off date not 30th June, and if so how can we sign another quota player if Dane is still playing/ registered

One contract will end as the other starts.

Next announcement is Cats game moving to 29th June

now that would get people flapping - we've move a home game 6 weeks down the line by 2 days and some fans went into meltdown

Do you mean Dayne Weston or W.Tonga wants to see the season out Col ?

Official statement says Dayne needs an Op on his ankle, that it is a bad one & he will move to a 'coaching role' for remainder of the season, sounds an amicable arrangement taken from that.
Have you heard differently ?

*this is a genuine i.e not sniping question*

Maybe it doesn't affect you, but it does affect some.

We all don't work Mon - Fri, 9 till 5 - or retired

And some of us have moved heaven and earth to get the SUNDAY off

Now back on topic

To be fair,10 minutes later ColD posts in another thread and acknowledges what your saying and agrees with it.

No worries, just didnt agree with the little smiley faces thrown in
