| It's foot to the pedal for me. The season is not over and we still have a lot to play for.
For me, we have to put our best team out week after week with our best players in their best positions.
We just have too many players leaving at the end of the season to start tinkering now and to start experimenting with remaining players who may, or may not, be starters next season.
I also think the club owes it to the fans to put the strongest available team out week after week.
There's also a big chunk of the season still to play for. Until it is mathematically impossible to qualify then the aim surely still has to be the play-offs.

In belated reply to BigTimeLeyther’s post (foot of page 9 of this thread):
Dunno, but there have been a couple of head-scratchers recently. One such is the club’s announcement of their expectation of the upcoming release of IMG’s club by club ratings (15.24) and, therefrom, rankings. The season is not over - we are in the play-offs. There are therefore rating points still to be gathered or lost.
At least there are according to pages 17 & 59 of IMG’s Handbook:
https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... %20Version).pdf
Leigh’s (three year average) League Rating as of October last year (2021 (relegation year) 12th, 2022 (promotion year) 13th & 2023 5th) was 3.0004. That, however, was bolstered by a (one season only) bonus of 0.25pts for winning The Challenge Cup - 3.2504pts).
This season, Leigh enter the play-offs in 5th after the scheduled 27 rounds.
Should Leigh lose on Friday and Saints win the following day, Leigh would be placed 6th by IMG for a 3 year average of 3.2222 (and no bonus); a drop of 0.0282.
Should both above-mentioned teams lose at the weekend, Leigh would retain fifth place: 3.2593 - thereby offsetting the loss of our CCup holders’ bonus with a gnat’s wotsit to spare
Were Leigh to beat Salford on Friday, we would be guaranteed 4th - 3.2963.
THE POINT IS that the “minor tweak” (that should NOT happen mid-season!!) may be merely to rate on placings after 27 rounds.
We’ll see.

| Another possibility: the club by club scores were based on 36 being in the top three echelons. There are only 35 now. An according adjustment of the scores out of a maximum score for this area would see ALL remaining clubs get slightly more points - the gap place on place, however, would increase infinitessimally.
That, for Bongser, would be an excusable mid-season tweak.

Tesi Niu, Isaac Liu and Ben Condon. Might have to go shopping for a half back now as well.

I was always baffled why we didn’t revert to Moylan at 6 knowing Armstrong will more than likely be 1 next year, simply to get The Lam/Moylan combo working. Perhaps it’s been known for a while by the club should it turn out to be true. Also I remember prior to signing Ricky was a big influence in him coming , maybe that hasn’t helped.
If the wages are as rumoured we won’t struggle to fill with a class act
