As usual the Rugby League press have the story and leighleopards.co.uk remains stony silent. Still not learning from previous mistakes about posting retentions and leavers (with the exception of Kai and Lachlan).

Nothing on the website of interest and "The Derek Beaumont Interview" is nestled behind the firewall which wants to charge a yearly figure not much less than the streaming giant Disney+. Can't help but think they have the pricing all wrong (personally it should be free).

Totally agree Sept. The lack of news to stimulate fan engagement and the all important IMG Digital has been once again poor. This silent approach from the club seems to go against all the effort the club put in last season to meet the IMG criteria. Leigh Leopards appears to be sleepwalking whilst all our competitor clubs are engaging fans with positive news particularly of new signings.

Are new signings part of the IMG grading system? What quantifies engagement through social/digital media?

They announced the 10 new signings in October. They know they need a 6 and I would welcome another experienced centre but they can't announce signings until they get them. We will have an awesome pack with the additions of Halton, Trout, Norman and Brogan. The rest are for the formation of a reserve team. Have patience. I'm quite sure we're in for another exciting season.

Agree with WSWIWYG2 there we know what we need to be a consistent top 4 or five team but unfortunately they are the hardest and most expensive to come buy there definitely is patience needed off us fans and let's not forget we do have mellor who was supposed to be our first choice alongside locky but used him as a back up hooker instead, I've no idea why Aaron Smith was used so little last season considering how much he played the previous term . However I can't help to think that Derek has it all planned out , let everyone else announce their sighnings then we can command the media and air waves with the leapards season launch and get everyone buzzing for the season ahead .

Cryptic messages coming through from Derek ?

We were referring to the tent he has just bought

Wig Wam Bam! Tom's yer man. There's yer tent.

Why criptic ?

I got the drift, maybe you didn't.

Bobby, I think you're a little discombobulated.

What has Derek been saying that you found a bit cryptic.

This thread has been quite intriguing. Had a look at the tents on offer from Bloomingdales. Here they are: https://www.bloomingdales.com/buy/tent We have all watched the footage of the C-Cup Semi a dozen times and all saw Derek's youngest distraught before Makinson skewed the would be levelling kick. Don't think even the youngest would want one of those tents. Maybe DB has younger nephews or nieces. If only Derek had used the word "hired". Bongser still thinks we can all rest easy. COYL!

Latest rumour is Matt Moylan. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ex ... att-moylan

Matt Moylan could be a good signing, however he didn’t have the best of seasons with Cronulla especially his defence. Get that sorted he could be a good addition to the team with his experience.

We cant be surprised when we hear about further unacceptable treatment of fans by the club.
I hear some fans, loyal supporters for many years, have had on attempted renewal, their "guaranteed same seat" taken off them.Not the first time this has happened.
Cub has short memory these people stuck by in hard times.Just shows a lack of honesty and respect

Wierd!! Bongser posted regarding tents in Bloomingdales at 21.53 on the 16th - several hours before Love Rugby League posted the rumour. Somehow his post is footed by a (albeit "Access Denied"icon_wink.gif link to LRL's article. How?

As the rumour seems to have been proven true, B&B could claim kudos for displaying more prescience than he displayed in the old Prediction League, but this is dangerous; erroneously attributing words to posters!

Please would Mods point this out to Admin.

PS: Both do a good job and Bongser is not generally a moaner.

Off topic from the thread , but ties in with above . If I’m understanding correctly, the Catalans trip will be ring fenced to people who book through the club . How in this day and age can people not have the choice to book their own accommodation and travel. I’ve done the Chartered coach and it’s a horrible trip. Does many things well Derek but on this occasion it’s totally wrong.

See op its not off thread

No one can stop you traveling if you have the right documentation

Can you not book match ticket direct with Catalan I have absolutely no doubt that will be easier than dealing with our shambles of a ticketing procedure
