Correct.

Or does it? I’m not sure all has been stated yet. Championship declined to play and now they are playing want everything back to normal. They wanted sod all only furloughed when the going was tough now they want SL.

Get rid of the salary cap!

Re: Losing Best Players : Fri Aug 20, 2021 7:42 am  

Think that may be a good shout short term or increase the cap then the top teams can recruit better Aussies and the quality could then push down. But not a longer term solution.. academies for all to increase participation.

We have has an unsettled squad for years, i think the last we had some consistency was under Paul Rowley

Did your Club vote to give Leigh *or whoever was selected* only £1M of the £1.8M Sky TV money ?

Promotion only returned in 2015 and quite a few changes 14 to 15 and even more after the 15 disaster for the promotion season

Re: Losing Best Players : Sun Aug 22, 2021 4:44 pm  

Honestly no offence intended whatsoever, but I genuinely don’t see any super league standard players in your squad that any other super league team would want or need? Just being honest like, would be interested in any Leigh fans thoughts as to stand out players?

Re: Losing Best Players : Sun Aug 22, 2021 5:48 pm  

The obvious answer to the above is the players that go to SL clubs are clearly, by those SL teams, considered to be SL standard.

Speaking personally, Liam Hood has always been a stand out and not just against the many teams Leigh have put together over the years he's played for us but against any opposition, including any super league team.

What do you think the total player spend is at clubs in the T4?
