Imo Goulden, platt, aspinwall, pitmaN and of course maden will leave, with the youngsters going out on loan again, 4 or 5 sl class players in

Aspinwalls contract runs out this November,cant see itbeing renewed with amoun of cover we have.

Anybody who thinks this squad capable of maintaining SL is seriously deluded. As pinball will go, far to many injuries, which I know is part of the game, but it's a fact. What about bate/bullock for next year, they hopefully will be better for their experiences with barrow

Anybody who thinks Bate and Bullock after a spell at Barrow will be good enough to play Super League is seriously deluded. With all due respect to both players, they aren't the answer should we get promotion. We need to be thinking, and I've no doubt that we are, WAY higher than that.

Agreed, to compete (should we gain promotion) in SL we would need about 8 top quality signings.

I dont think we would need 8.Thats just totally underestimating the team as it stands..We need to be looking at the top 8 of SL next season and strengthen were needed.

You're underestimating how much of a step up it is from the championship. It's like going up from the football conference to the premiership in a year.

Not comparing like with like imo.

Didn't Burton Albion draw with Man U a couple of seasons ago ?

I was there in 2005,big difference in both club and the team we have this time round..

if you read my post again, i did not say they would be ready for sl, i said they would be better for their time with barrow.

It depends on which Super League we're talking about, SL has been split in two for years now between the top 6 or so clubs and the rest, there's a bigger gap between the top & bottom of SL than the bottom of SL and The top of the Championship. I think this team we have is good enough to get into SL & good enough to stay up, agreed we'll need more players if we're aiming for the top 8 but we can build to that over a few years.

Just for information, if Leigh don't get promoted (which I highly doubt you won't) Ryan Brierley has signed for Leeds Rhinos.

And the proof is where?

I doubt I'd reveal my source, but it's probably the most accurate source you can get. However, I'll give you a clue, look at the tweet his agent posted 24 hours ago.

Not saying you'd wrong mate! But would it make a difference if we went up or not? Leeds are a bigger team than us anyway!!
