League Express today reports that unnamed club/clubs have made approaches for at least three of our players over the last few weeks. Hutchinson, Mat'uatia and Bodene Thompson have been named. The approaches have been rejected so far.
We need to keep the squad together and continue to build the siege mentality that has been evident in the last two games.
These players owe it to Derek and the fans to stay loyal to Leigh. I appreciate that loyalty counts for little these days, especially in sport, but I hope the club and the players in question ignore these approaches.

Huddersfield come in for big peter

DB has said if you don't make the top 4 minimum the club is in trouble financially. After your bad start its looking ever likely you wont go up. Maybe now is the time to offload some of the cost and let a few go rather than cripple the club.
Is he holding of to see if you lose Monday?

No he didn't, we will just go back to being 'part time'....no BIG deal....ask Fev and our players (for different reasons)

He stated we would probably have to win 14 out of the 17 remaining regular season games. As far as I'm aware he holds a 56% stake in the Centurions. If as he says we don't reach the top 4,the gap to fill would be around £1.46m. I doubt offloading players would reduce that to an acceptable figure that he would fill. Then again its not really in his own interest with such a high stake at risk,not to be looking for solutions.

Would have thought they would be more concerned about a new coach rather than a new player.

We do have quite a few on full time deals... but we do have a business model to sustain that. Not happened over night.
Longo is bringing in a wad at the mo to sustain the recruitment...
Might have been a different story had campbell been ousted when nahaboo left us in the sh it.
That wobble set us back 4-5 years and coincided with Leigh's resurgence.... and some terrible coaches...Bastian being bloody awful.
We had to regroup.... its possible... i think

You wont go part time next year as the players are tied in to 2 years. No £500k Parachute payment, maybe no top 4 money, a 1.62 Million salary. That's a big hole. I suspect if you lose to London Monday the reality will hit home with DB

He's already spelled out the reality.

We are doomed....

Possibly!

Might as well pack in now...

Some blood thirsty southern vultures on these boards it seems

Derek said he couldn't bridge the gap between central funding and the squad cost if we didn't make T4, he would change his loans to donations for others to take over if needed - this is a fantastic offer from a bloke obviously so passionate about LRLFC. IMO we can make T4, we need a prop and we look balanced. If losing Baptiste and Thompson B allow a quality prop to come in I feel we will finish very strong and if we hit 4th we will go up

Looks like are guy as had a nightmare
