What caught London out last season was;
1; Getting to the speed of SL from the KO
2; Losing concentration for 5 mins here and there
Suddenly you are 2-3 tries down and chasing the game. I didn't think the bottom end of the league was a huge step up, it was just keeping our nerve and concentration. The bigger/better teams are a different kettle of fish when they hit form!!
I suspect your coach will look at the opposition and navigate the season to do enough to stay up.
Be interesting to see who you sign to compliment the squad you have. London were suggesting they had 'tied in' a number of SL players had they been successful. There must be a few out there who are available.

Not a word....................... perhaps we are waiting for a VAR decision and Leigh will be ruled out and Bradford as Steph "stated" (by someone) will be given the nod

Stephanie will be reacting to this in the same way as a Saints loss, disappearing.

I suspect he may be one of their weak links. He was fund wanting when it mattered at Fev several times when it came to the crunch.

I can just about agree with this only on the basis that none of the other applicants would have done this either.......who do you think would have done this?
The role of the 12th. club is to ensure SKY get a full and proper league for next season, and to ensure that they are competitive in the process.
Beaumonts club did fine last time in SL, didn't come bottom, had some big crowds and beat Saints and Wigan.
BTW which of the other clubs did you think [iwould have brought a well known sponsor and new money to the TV deal.[/i
Derek Beaumont will certainly put money into bringing in some good signings, he commented he would do this at the start of this process to ensure Leigh field the strongest side possible......

While unknown village Huddersfield with their sub 3,000 Super League crowds has Apple, Amazon, Tesla & KPMG literally battering down their door !

Isn't there the time for Mr. Beaumont to add some more quality? They just need to make 11th. spot don't they? They did it last time...
And if not that, they just need someone else to have a bad season?
Surely we are in for a treat with a tight "Relegation" battle. We didn't get one this season just gone, it was all over before any such battle began.......

Didn't Dekka cancel players contracts the last time they were in Super League when they got relegated?

Depends what written into them contracts.
If there is no provision in that contract for that contract to become null and void if a team gets relegated then the club is liable to honour that contract or reach an agreement with that player on compensation.
Always read the small print in contracts, because player agents do.

I would go to Toulouse away, I will not be visiting Leigh, I would have gone to York, but I wouldn't have gone to Bradford or Featherstone.

Are you Jeanette Crapdozy reincarnated?
Same old drivel spouted out year after year about Salford nailed on for the bottom 2.

Not really sure what his problem is. Toulouse had equal opportunity when applying. They failed.

A couple of players took the club to court but found to have no case, maybe the club and RFL know more about contracts than the agents

The rules as written where quite clear. SL contracts are void on relegation. Just some can’t be bothered to read them. As in the fella you are quoting.
He can put whatever clause he wants in. Even a Santa Clause..

| Are Leigh REALLY gonna be expected to compete against 11 other clubs who get 80% more than them in TV Revinue, it's crazy and unfair. Those 11 clubs should be ASHAMED of themselves and the RFL, SLE and Sky TV should be utterly ASHAMED for allowing it. Staying up is hard enough as it is without having your hands tied behind your back from the out set...Bloody SCANDALOUS!!!!!!!!
