Took a look at the list of released players from a post on total RL from October and tried to update it the best i can.

Removed non fed players and players who have got new contracts.

Got nothing else better to do....

Its pretty slim pickings for the OOC players.

Outside backs only BJB jumps out, but I'd be hesitant to sign a 33/34 year old.

Baitieri could be a good pick up. Can play backrow or 13. Other than that its Tyrone McCarthy or Anthony Mullally (signed a short term deal in france)... Читать дальше...

There has been a fair bit of debate over the past few years about us having a boring style, so it got me thinking, what Wire teams of the past were the best to watch? Since I've been watching we haven't really had a team like the Saints entertainers of the Millward era, or TS early Leeds team, or Cas in 2017, which played a fast, open, attacking style. However, some Wire teams have been more watchable than others.

Here's a few quick thoughts from the top of my head to kick it off:

We have just signed Brad Takairangi on a 2 year deal.A cracking signing imo.

Is it just me who's a bit nervous that 2/3 of our halfback options are seemingly in limbo? No news on Patton nor Widdop. Appreciate I'm an outsider looking in here and HOPE the club have options, but a fully settled 7 is needed in order to build plans to work on the attack element both Price and Karl have both said is lacking.

How can you come up with your set moves without the input of the blokes meant to execute them?

Is it just me ? The biggest ‘eyesore’ at Belle Vue is surely the western terrace. I wonder why there are no plans for development there.

We don’t want to be signing players for the sake of signing players because other teams are. Look at Nottingham Forest.

I think we sometimes forget that "London" as a geographical entity is almost meaningless. I feel for their fans because the poor buggers never know where they'll be from one year to the next, and also people who may have been attracted at one location may find the travel is offputting when they next move. That lack of continuity surely harms their ability to get and keep new fans.

Been reading through all the forums and I am staggered at the amount of bad press Leigh are getting. They are easily the best equipped side to fill the void. People saying how rugby league is finished etc is laughable. I don't want to praise the lobby gobblers too much but at least they are trying to expand. We have teams in this league, cas and wakey who have been promising new grounds to meet the standards for years and done nothing. Salfords crowds are a joke but they were moved from the willows.

Yes it's going to be another exciting season next year and hopefully close at the bottom too, I notice rollin thumper mentioned the sooner we get back to franchises the better having had a couple of crap seasons in the 8s I can see he's looking at the possibility of a straight relegation could scupper his club, goes to show anyone could be vulnerable

Bring it on I say let's see who's got the guts to stay up

Now we know which league we are playing in, but we do not know where we will be playing. We can look forward to Season 2021. Or can we ?
I wonder firstly, when will the season start ? A third wave is projected for Easter, just we we are projected to start.Will fans be able to attend matches ? The Virus has not gone away. In fact it is mutating which is causing great concern.
London goes into tier 3 for Christmas. How long will that last ? So if we do kick off in April, will it be behind closed doors. Читать дальше...

I contacted the club about being able to watch games on the app again next season . The reply was that watching on the app would come about only if games were being played behind closed doors. If a ballot system between ST holders was in place due to restricted capacity & anyone could not get into the game for that reason then there would be no way to watch on the app.
I think my season ticket will not be getting bought this time & i will pay on the door . I can see me not going to many... Читать дальше...

1. No, obviously not.
2. More than Leigh.
And neither of those points are particularly relevant to anything.

Nothing against Leigh the club or anything. I hold no grudge despite the worst experience of my sporting life at the old Hilton Park. It just feels like a missed opportunity. On the flip side, I hope the club go and prove all the doubters wrong and become a valuable part of the league

Thought I'd start this so folk can add any updates they come across so as to keep folk as well informed as possible, pin it maybe mods?

I'll kick off with this I found on the net, it's the architect's own site and gives a few more pics and bits of info, not much but a bit. Enjoy

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!!!!!!!!

Leigh makes sense in 2020/21

The only reason the game stagnates is because the SL clique prevent any outsider from accessing finances.

There are s many reasons why supporting the French game helps us and the game long term but its not even worth going into it.
Congratulations to Leigh they deserve it, but hopefully (but cannot see it) we get back to a 14 team SL asap, get Lindon Toulouse Newcastle York, even Fev up to speed, get back to franchises snd gave the guts to kick out some of the perpetual deadwood clubs, (they know who they are)

You are correct about the money. Is there a club in SL that doesn't have a sugar-daddy. I don't think Salford do but they had all their debts written off by Koukash
