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 |

Yeah, I'm assuming the decision to retire hasn't been made on whim, and has been spoken about for a while. Could also explain the Sivo rumours a few weeks back. Could be an option considering O'Brien has gone well for us at half back during the business end of the season, all on a fraction of what Moylan has been on. |

We also have the option on McNamara, through no fault of his own we haven’t seen much of him .
It certainly would free up a massive amount of cap/ wage bill if we don’t plug the gap with a marquee. |

We've been showing interest in half-back Tanah Boyd from Gold Coast Titans. A 24 year old Brad Dwyer doppelganger.

Tesi Nui has confirmed he is joining us next year. He played at the weekend, but seemed a bit overweight.Legs like tree trunks.
