YES,I agree.The experienced S.L coach goes by the name of Shaun Wayne.Get rid of all the coaching staff and hangers on who he does not want,let him have his own people.Do it before its too late.

Did he comment on a restructure?

SL will be 12 teams next season and highly likely 12 the following. Any potential restructure would be planned in advance for season 2024 and linked into a broadcast deal starting that year.

Do you mean Shaun Wane the current England coach who’s preparing for a World Cup in a few months time.

I’ve a funny feeling that he may not be available, although I do also have a feeling that we have asked him to act in an advisory role and he couldn’t commit to that either

Is this the same meeting that only a handful of SL chairman were privy too? Or just your own opinion?

Normally when we have injuries DB normally moves fast to loan or bring in extra players. Is this harder this year.... getting loans from other SL teams. Did that initially with Reynolds and Gelling and few loanees but that seems to have dried up. Seems like they only should have taken the gig if they had known they would be protected against relegation otherwise just the whipping boys and a wasted season.

Exactly, looks like (although I might be wrong) we're not even trying to bring any short term loan signings in.

Why Budge?

It’s what was agreed on in the last SL meeting, no changes to the structure at this time.

Whilst i’ve no doubt some might want to change again the money just isn’t there for for 14 teams (my favoured option) or to fund two leagues of 10. With the new deal there isn’t really enough for 12 as it is.

Why wouldn't all the super league chairman be privy to that same meeting? or is that simply your own opinion that some were excluded?

I don't know which one of us that applied for SL this year could have done any better. Maybe Toulouse could have recruited a few bigger names but I suspect they'd be in about the same slot on the table right now. The question is, if you do go straight back down, are you in a worse position than if you hadn't applied at all? I hope not. Anyway, best of luck from this particular bull.

The problem is you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I am sure had Leigh decided not to have a pop I am sure there would have been an outcry by fans.

I agree though it's a potential poisoned chalice and could see the club having a real setback in its development.

Don’t think this season has been any different from any other season involving p &r. You are up against it no matter what. The fact that players out of contract can talk to clubs from May basically says you can have what’s left or over pay for players.
