It needs a simple statement imo, something like ''We are aware of certain rumours being spread about the club. All clubs in RL will be visited without notice for the purpose of drug testing players, our turn was 3 weeks ago. The samples take time to analyse and as yet we have not been notified of the results''

The constant accusations on social media are hacking me off and if players have been named and prove to be false they should be dealt with in court.

Don't be pathetic, it wasn't an accusation, it was an example of what could happen and that it would not necessarily be watertight.

Unlike a lot on here I don't have the unwavering belief that Leigh RL can do no wrong for which I will probably get shot down for saying. Everyone makes mistakes including us

The problem is the rumours are saying this relates to last year and not 3 weeks ago so it would not stop them! The Fev player was from November!

Agree Maurice.

Not the ones I've seen

Absolutely spot on, there's no way any of this is anything other than jealous opposition fans, be the same people that are always saying we're breaking the salary cap. A rival club has been done for cheating, we've been randomly tested & what limited imagination they have (which isn't being used to dream up new clubs for Brierley to have signed for this month) has come up with this rubbish. End of.

There were horses in the grand National who would have loved those "blinkers" of yours!

My god! You're right! I can see clearly now! Brierley DID refuse to sign a contract so he could go to Leeds, Hock COULDN'T play for us against Salford, someone DID assault the drugs tester after the grand final, we ARE breaking the salary cap!

Every week there's some rumour about Leigh and every week it turns out to be rubbish. Why would anyone think this one (which would require the doping agency to have been unusually quick with getting the results AND one of a tiny number of people, who'd have been told to keep it quiet, go out and gossip about it to another club's fans) be true?

I agree, but which will turn out to be the ridiculous comments, those insinuating wrong doings or those ridiculing those insinuating?

An official denial from the club would help.

Until there is an official statement from the club, We should just rise above these so called allegations and keep stumm.

Well I'd assume that all of the 19 man squad that's been named on the rfl site are all available for selection. People can think it's true or not, personally I'll assume not until any official word otherwise.

Official statement made from the club, so file this to 'Bin'

Where is the 19 man squad list - link please
