So what if he employs players wives, lots of clubs do that. It isn't breaking the cap, it's included in the cap. It's done to help players wives (generally the Aussie ones who've had to uproot and move across the world) to get a job and an income. It helps with visas for the Aussies coming over and of course means they pay less tax than if all that money went directly to the player.

As for the rest of your post, well you're starting to sound as paranoid and strange as your clubs chairman.

Leigh's problem is that by the time the 8's came round too many key bodies were busted, 7 are having ops already and our 3 ballplayers are included.

The CC run took too much out of the tank and with hindsight did us no favours as everybody expected us to do better in the 8's.

Injuries happen though, the new personnel will add experience for when crunch time comes again.

Hopefully we will fair better next time, but a lot of our fans don't help.

Why has no one YET blamed all the various match officials for this situation?

They seem to be the ones causing all the problems, according to many who post on here. Can't we have consistency

Think Leighs problem in the middle 8s was that they stuck to the same gameplan that had served them so well throughout the season.It was noticeable that Halifax,Sheffield and Bradford all adapted better as the comp went on and had more options than Leigh did.
That said it should not detract from what was a great season for Leigh and i am sure they will come back an even bigger force next year and with lessons learned will be a serious threat in next years middle 8s

Beaumont considered it all a conspiracy - involving everybody.Then he decided he had a 2 yrs plan.

There is consistency where one of their former players Anthony Bate has just been banned for 6 games.He was playing for Barrow,the last club who were deducted points for salary cap breaches;eventually!

Angelic 'Doncaster Eagles' Prat...still obsessed by Leigh Centurions.....are you Mark Aston by any chance ?

I'm not sure dismantling Salford and re-sticking it all onto Leigh will work. Even their awful sayings are being nicked - LEIGHvolution.





The problem with buying Salford in a jumble sale is the fact that theirs wasn't the greatest set of instructions to model your average ambitious RL club on.

Leigh = Baby Salford !!

Exactly what i was saying other day, how it didn't work at Salford but Leigh seem to be taking over and trying it themselves.

At least with the Red Devils appointing Tim Sheens things are only going to get better for them
