| Quote: The Ghost of '99 "What will IMG see when they take a look at Leigh? They don't own their ground, have a recent history of contract issues/not paying players, reliant on one slightly but not very rich owner, no website, done a rebrand that somehow produced a non-digital compliant logo, no elite academy, no real on-field track record.
Low grade B/upper grade C looks likely to me.'"
So lets put Leigh back in the championship, and then what would you like to do next?
Why do you keep bashing clubs for trying to make a go of it?
You're nothing but a sanctimonious narcissists'. |

An egomaniac making amateurish branding decisions doesn't really have too much to do with how they will fare on field (and even then.... let's remember who their coach is).
It's almost 2023, two months after the disastrous first launch of their rebrand, and Leigh Leopards still don't have a functioning website. Beaumont deserves all the mocking he is getting.

Even as a Leigh fan I haven’t always agreed with what DB has said and done, and the lack of a website is a disappointment, but the rebrand has been far from disastrous, Leigh have arguably been in the RL press more than any other club since it’s happened, they’ve got the biggest sponsorship deal ever for Leigh, I’d be surprised if any other team in SL have given their supporters a better method of issuing their season tickets/memberships, of which they’ve sold more than ever before, inside some random membership packages are 23 Letters or numbers which if you we’re lucky enough to get one and you get the words they make correct you’re upgraded to a box for a game, there’s also cards in others which state you have been bitten by the Leopard and get either upgraded to hospitality, or free guest, it’s been a fun bit of free marketing, that’s got the locals talking. |

Wow, not too many suggestions on how to improve the game, looks like it's going to e another great season, with Saints winning another GF.
The big question is just what will IMG propose and how solid will the criteria be.
Also, will the changes that eventually com in make the slightest difference to the domestic and international game.
We had a great world cup "event" but, aside from some growth of wheelchair RL, what will be the legacy of the comp and perhaps more importantly., what more should the game at all levels be doing regarding player safety and head checks etc.
The issues relating to this aren't going to go away and it could kill the game (and Union).

For different reasons there are only 2 clubs that have raised the profile of rugby league In this country in the past year. Saints and Leigh. Fact.

Since this is my first post advertising my YouTube channel I thought I'd introduce myself properly since you'll be seeing my face and getting to know me a bit... So hi everyone, I'm Rob.
I actually made a video on this topic about 2 weeks ago because I'm really passionate about growing/fixing/changing Super League. It's an hour long 'presentation' (boring I know) with 11 different aspects for Super League and International Rugby.
I suggested some VERY radical changes to Super League. Some that I know a lot of people will massively disagree with but I have tried to give some reasonings as to why I'd implement them. But I'm always open for discussion.
I tried to go into as much detail as possible on everything:
League Structure
Overtime Format
Rule Changes
Magic Weekend
Salary Cap & Transfers
TV Deals & Schedule
Showcase Event
Tier System
Extras for Rugby League
Dream for Rugby League
International Games
If anyone would like to check it out they can watch it here - https://youtu.be/phEnkGPgAFM
