I am hearing an agreement has been made in principle to enter in to a 12 month dual registration partnership with St.Helens.

I know that a notion of this sort, will be a contentious issue for many but with Toronto throwing a ridiculous amount of money at it and looking increasingly like 2019 SL promotion shoe in's by the day, it does have my support as we attempt to re-build into SL contenders once more for 2020.

I suppose necessity dictates next season.

Beggars can't be choosers, I guess, and at least it's not with W***n!

There's going to have to be one heck of a PR exercise, to inform the punters, once our current mess is sorted!

While I understand that there's little point attempting to compete with Toronto for promotion, going from what would appear to be a relegation battle in 2019 to promotion contentders in 2020 would take some doing.

Yes a fair comment, but lets see where we finish next year and what then happens at that point - 12/18 months in Rugby League is a long time.

Would be totally against it if true.

I imagine the actions of the Club have set Leigh RL back a decade, 2030 might be more realistic.

Me too, in principle, Jenky, but, as I've said, beggars can't be choosers this time around.

Well it's not the first time we've had DR, not ideal but hey ho - onwards and ....... - or not as the case may well be

Fax used it last year to qualify, Fev did but failed to make it. Personally can't stand it but if it means we survive to build again then you take it

DR is an evil by another name, I don't give a poopy one about beggars and choosers, clubs should stand on their own 2 feet, if they can't do that they don't deserve to be in the professional league.
Lad's turn pro and train to play, if I was on the books at a club and trained my socks off, to be told come close to matchday, you are being stood down this week, we have a guest on DR who will be taking your spot this week I would tell them to shove it!

Spot on. Don't do it! Fax disgracefully had it with Cas but hardly used it. What we got out of it wasn't worth the shame it brought onto our club. As Harry says, if you can't manage without DR don't bother. It's only there to benefit SL clubs and only serve's to further the gap between them and us. It's unbelievable that championship clubs would do it to my mind, but there again some non SL clubs voted for the new structure in RL. Mind boggling!

Its going to be the only way to survive soon .. a way to get all lower teams to be feeder clubs . It'll happen without a doubt

What's mind boggling about it?

The fact that a number of Championship clubs voted in favour of the new structure, after appearing to be 100% against it - perhaps?
